Job description

As a Software Testing Intern, you will support the verification of software for medical devices and gain practical experience in requirements-based testing, test implementation and test automation.

You will work closely with test engineers, software developers and system engineers to translate system and software requirements into meaningful test cases. Using TPT, you will create, execute and analyse tests, helping to identify issues, gaps, inconsistencies and unexpected system behaviour.

In addition, you will contribute to the improvement of our test environment and explore how AI can support the creation and automation of software tests.

Support us in bringing cutting-edge medical technology products to the market and providing the greatest possible quality of life for people with chronic diseases.

• Create and maintain test cases based on system and software requirements
• Ensure appropriate test coverage and traceability between requirements and test cases
• Implement and execute test cases using TPT
• Analyse requirements from a testing perspective and identify unclear, incomplete or inconsistent information
• Analyse test results and document issues, deviations and unexpected system behaviour
• Review and improve existing test cases, test coverage and test documentation
• Support the investigation and analysis of failed test cases
• Collaborate with test engineers, software developers and system engineers to clarify requirements and expected system behaviour
• Participate in test reviews and other verification activities
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of test assets, testing processes and the test environment
• Explore opportunities to use AI for test creation, test automation and testing efficiency
• Support additional testing and verification activities within the Project
