Senior QA Engineer; m​/f​/d

Job Description Summary

The QA Engineer role is responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and safety of complex healthcare software systems throughout the full development lifecycle. It plays a key role in defining and executing quality strategies, embedding testing early in the development process, and supporting informed, risk‑based release decisions in an agile environment. The role involves designing and maintaining robust manual and automated test suites, driving continuous improvements in QA processes and tooling, and collaborating closely with software engineers, architects, product managers, and domain experts.

Successful candidates will have strong ownership of quality outcomes, defect analysis, and clear communication of risks and metrics to stakeholders.

The position also emphasizes the responsible use of generative AI tools to enhance testing activities such as test design, exploratory testing, analysis, and documentation. It offers the opportunity to influence product quality at scale while mentoring others and contributing to a culture of high‑quality engineering within a regulated healthcare environment.

At GE Health Care, our machines, our software, our solutions, and our services strive to make a genuine difference to medical professionals and patients worldwide. We never lose sight of what healthcare really needs—the human touch.

We are a global innovator in medical technology and digital healthcare solutions, working toward a future where healthcare has no limits. Our software supports clinicians and patients worldwide and is developed to the highest standards of quality, safety, and reliability. We foster an inclusive, high‑performance culture where experienced professionals are empowered to shape quality strategy, influence product outcomes, and continuously raise engineering standards.

As a QA Engineer (m/f/d), you will shape and execute quality assurance practices for complex healthcare software systems. You will work closely with software engineers, architects, product managers, and domain experts in an agile environment, ensuring quality is built into the product throughout the development lifecycle.

This role is suited for experienced QA engineers who take ownership of quality outcomes, drive testing strategy, and actively leverage generative AI tools to improve test coverage, efficiency, and insight generation in a responsible and compliant manner.
