For our client, Roche Diagnostics, the global market leader in in-vitro diagnostics based in Rotkreuz (ZG), we are looking for a motivated individual with experience in software development and master clean coding priciples
Test Automation Engineer (a)
Join an innovative team shaping the future of diagnostics. You will work on the development of a complex system for molecular diagnostics. In this sensitive environment where precision is critical, you will be responsible as a Test Automation Engineer for ensuring that our software algorithms and hardware interfaces function flawlessly.
You will act as a Software Engineer in Test (SET) and utilize modern methods such as Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to bridge the gap between requirements and technical implementation. As a Test Automation Engineer, you will be jointly responsible for the design, development, and implementation of automated test strategies for our molecular diagnostic platforms.
This includes both software-side security and the validation of physical interfaces through the use of state-of-the-art robotics solutions (standard market solutions as well as customized in-house developments). Your work contributes directly to ensuring that diagnostic results in the laboratory are available quickly and with absolute reliability. You will work in a technologically demanding field that combines the safety of Rust with the agility of modern CI/CD processes to perfect life-saving medical technology.
Your tasks
* Quality Assurance for High-Tech: Development and implementation of automated test strategies for a complex overall system in molecular diagnostics
* BDD Methodology: Active application of Behavior-Driven Development to translate requirements into executable specifications (e.g., using Cucumber)
* Development of Test Environments: Construction and maintenance of test frameworks using tools similar to Selenium, Appium, or SpecFlow, supplemented by specific libraries for controlling laboratory robots
* Robotics Integration: Evaluation and integration of commercial robot arms (e.g., Cobots) as well as participation in the development of internal robotics tools to simulate user interactions on the device (e.g., pipetting, loading cartridges)
* ALM & Traceability: Use of ALM tools such as Codebeamer to manage requirements and test cases and to ensure traceability
* CI/CD Integration: Responsibility for automated quality assurance within our DevOps pipelines (e.g. GitHub and Azure DevOps (ADO))
* End-to-End Validation: Ensuring data integrity from the barcode scan of the patient sample to the final analysis of the PCR result
* Compliance & Documentation: Supporting the creation of test plans, protocols, and reports in accordance with ISO 13485 and other relevant regulatory standards for medical devices
Your qualifications
* Education: Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Medical Technology, or a comparable qualification
* Min. 3 years of relevant working experience
* Experienced Programmer: You have sound experience in software development and master clean coding principles
* Automation & BDD Expert: Proficient in using tools such as Selenium, with desired knowledge of BDD tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow
* ALM Know-how: Experience with Application Lifecycle Management tools, ideally Codebeamer, is a major advantage
* DevOps & CI/CD: Proficient in handling Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in GitHub or Azure DevOps
* Analytical Talent: Ability to familiarize yourself with the logic of complex diagnostic systems
* Knowledge of Rust is a strong plus, as we value performance and type safety is an advantage
* Experience in controlling actuators/sensors or integrating robots into test procedures. Knowledge of Standard in Laboratory Automation (SiLA) us advantage
