Pay: $45-$53/hr W2
Start Date: ASAP
Contract: 18 Months
Schedule: 40 hrs/week | Monday-Friday | Flexible 1st shift hours
About the Opportunity
Join a world-class global medical technology innovator developing next-generation embedded systems that directly support life-enhancing healthcare devices.
This role sits at the heart of embedded software verification for a Yocto-based Linux ecosystem, supporting system stability, performance, and integration across complex medical device platforms.
You'll collaborate closely with embedded developers, OS engineers, and cross-functional QA teams to ensure high-quality releases in a regulated, fast-paced engineering environment.
What You Will Do
- Support embedded software verification for Yocto-based Linux OS lifecycle management
- Execute manual and automated test cases, analyze results, and drive defect resolution
- Perform OS updates, system bring-up, and application integration validation
- Partner with embedded and OS development teams for rapid integration testing cycles
- Develop and execute test scripts using Python, C/C++, and MATLAB
- Document test results and defects using JAMA and Jira
- Contribute to continuous improvement of verification and release processes
What You Bring Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Software, Computer, or Electrical Engineering (or related field)
- 4+ years of experience in embedded software testing or Linux/OS testing
- Strong familiarity with Python or C/C++, Linux environments, and testing fundamentals
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with JAMA, DOORS, or requirements traceability tools
- Exposure to GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps concepts
- Understanding of SDLC in regulated environments (medical/device/automotive strongly preferred)
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work on real-world embedded systems impacting healthcare technology
- Deep exposure to Yocto Linux + OS-level engineering
- Strong collaboration with high-caliber embedded engineering teams
- Long-term contract stability (18 months)
