Medtronic · caesarea

Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact. A Day in the Life Within Medtronic's global Neuroscience organization, Cranial and Spinal Technologies (CST) advances care for some of medicine's most complex neurological and spinal conditions. CST is a leader in surgical imaging and navigation, and its operating unit develops and delivers an integrated ecosystem of spinal implants, navigation and robotic guidance systems, advanced imaging and data-driven planning tools for complex spine and cranial procedures. Together, these technologies are intended to support surgeons and care teams in their work. Test Engineering within CST is responsible for the independent design verification of medical device software and systems, ensuring that products meet user needs and our quality, reliability and regulatory standards before release. As a Senior Test Engineer in Caesarea, you will join a dedicated team focused on verifying the correctness and accuracy of the algorithms embedded in CST's products. You will develop test strategies, create and execute verification plans, protocols and reports, and produce traceable evidence for release. Working under limited direction, you will apply your technical expertise to solve complex problems, partner with software, systems and quality teams, and provide technical leadership and mentoring to other test engineers. This is a permanent, onsite role with travel of 10-20%. Primary Responsibilities: Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other test engineers. Develop test strategies, plans, protocols and reports for verification of new or changed algorithms, software and hardware, from initial design through release, ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory, cybersecurity, privacy and quality system requirements (e.g., FDA, IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, as relevant to the product). Lead and develop the schedules and equipment required for testing, including exam, tool, fixture and phantom design. Create, develop and maintain test software, and design, implement and execute automated testing and test automation frameworks to improve test efficiency, coverage and repeatability. Plan and execute algorithm correctness, accuracy, performance, robustness and regression testing, including comparison of algorithm outputs against reference methods and acceptance criteria, and assess results across the intended range of inputs and conditions. Perform system integration testing so that hardware and software components function correctly as an integrated system, separate algorithm effects from integration effects, and generate traceable release evidence. Participate in all phases of product development as needed, including reviewing requirements, design, usability, risk assessment and defects, and partner with R&T and cross-functional teams (systems, software and hardware engineering, regulatory affairs and quality) to review test methods, acceptance criteria and datasets early, including before regulatory pre-submission. Compile data and define changes required in test equipment, testing procedures, or new testing requirements; keep test equipment in good working order and calibrated; and set up test tracking, monitoring and data recording systems, including testing at outside test facilities. Troubleshoot, debug and support existing products, participate in defect tracking and analysis, identify and implement process improvements, and communicate findings, problems and solutions to project teams and stakeholders in compliance with the Quality System. Develop and establish new procedures, working practices, standards, and processes to build and mature the organization’s algorithm verification and testing capabilities. Required Qualifications: Baccalaureate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. 4+ years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's degree, 2+ years with a Master's degree, or 0+ years with a PhD. Working knowledge of software design, development, debug and test practices. Working knowledge of statistical methods and quantitative analysis for evaluating algorithm correctness and accuracy, such as error metrics, tolerances, sample size and data analysis. Oral and written communication skills in English, and the ability to work in a team environment. Creative and innovative problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively in new and evolving technical areas where established methods, processes, or preced
