Job description

Surgical Science is a global organization providing medical training simulations and software solutions. We are seeking a QC Engineer for our production facility in Gothenburg, Sweden.

What you’ll actually do

• Own end‑to‑end QC test plans: analyze product requirements and design detailed test cases that cover functional, integration, regression, and system scenarios
• Validate surgical instrument simulators, anatomical models with sensors, and haptic feedback devices – making sure every unit that leaves our facility meets the highest standards
• Calibrate measurement equipment and simulator components to maintain accuracy across the production line
• Perform acceptance testing on incoming components and vendor‑supplied parts
• Conduct production line quality checks and sign off on systems meeting specification
• Dig into complex defects – trace root causes, document findings, and work with production and development to resolve them
• Participate in requirements reviews, bringing the QC lens early in the product lifecycle
• Maintain and improve test documentation, calibration procedures, and QC processes

This role is on‑site at our Gothenburg, Sweden facility.

What you need to bring

• 2-5 years of hands‑on QC testing experience, ideally in a hardware/software environment
• Solid knowledge of QC testing methodologies and test documentation standards (STD/STP/STR)
• Experience with calibration procedures and measurement equipment
• Proficiency in quality management tools such as Dynamics and iAuditor
• Comfortable working in both Windows and Linux environments
• Strong written and spoken English – you’ll collaborate across teams and time zones
• A sharp analytical mind and the ability to manage multiple priorities without dropping the ball

Even better if you have

• Background in medical devices, simulators, or similar hardware/software industries
• Previous QC experience at a company with a comparable product complexity
• Familiarity with full product development lifecycles in a regulated environment

Where this can take you

The QC Engineer role is a real foundation for growth. You could develop into a Senior QC Engineer or take on a team lead position as we scale. Our cross‑functional setup means you’ll build deep relationships across production, R&D, and software – opening doors to specialized paths in quality systems, validation engineering, or product development. You’ll also work with colleagues across Sweden, the US, and beyond, giving you exposure to international ways of working in a company that’s been at the forefront of medical simulation for over 25 years.
