Simulation Engineer

Hiring for a Simulation Engineer | Onsite | FTE or Contract Role:
Simulation Engineer (must have exp on Python, C#)

Location:

San Jose, CA (On-site)

Type:
Contract / Full-Time

Staff Software Test Engineer – who is less of a 'script runner' and more of a tool builder.

Simulator Development (C#), Automation (Squish), & Firmware/Hardware Validation

In this pivotal role, you will own the enhancement and maintenance of our proprietary Software Simulator — the critical tool used to validate our robotic surgical hardware and firmware without needing the physical robot every time. You will spend the majority of your time coding in C# to expand the simulator's capabilities, while also using Squish and Python to drive automation.

If you are a C# developer at heart who loves developing a software simulation, this is your role.

• Lead the design, development, and enhancement of the CLIENTS System Simulator using C#. You will build the virtual environment that mocks hardware behavior to test firmware and software logic.
• Develop and execute automated test scripts using Squish (GUI automation) and Python.
• Perform a mix of automated and manual testing. You will manually execute complex test cases where automation isn't yet feasible, ensuring total system safety.
• Validate the interaction between high-level software and low-level firmware/hardware components via the simulator.
• Draft verification protocols and manage requirements/defects using JAMA and Jira, ensuring strict adherence to FDA QSR and IEC 62304 standards.
• Integrate simulator tests into the Continuous Integration pipeline (Jenkins/Git Hub) to catch regressions early.

• C# Expertise:
  Minimum 5+ years of hands‑on development experience in C#. You must be comfortable writing complex object‑oriented code, not just editing scripts.
• Python
  
  Experience:
  
  Minimum 2+ years of scripting experience (used for glue code and automation support).
• Automation Tools:
  Proven experience with Squish (preferred), Win App Driver , or similar GUI automation tools.
• Flexibility:
  Willingness to perform manual testing when necessary to ensure product quality.

• Medical Device Background:
  Solid understanding of FDA QSR (21 CFR Part 820), ISO 13485, and the V&V (Verification & Validation) process.
• Experience testing Firmware or embedded systems via simulation.
• Experience with JAMA for requirements management.
