Job Description

Our client Stryker is seeking two Contract Test Engineers to support validation efforts on an embedded medical device product. These individuals will be responsible for developing and executing test scripts used to verify firmware and hardware integration at the MCU/circuit board level.

This is a highly hands-on engineering environment, and candidates must be willing to work onsite in Portage, MI 4-5 days per week. The role involves physical fixture builds and hardware interaction, making remote work unavailable.

Important Note: This search is open to candidates coming from either a testing background or an embedded development background. Strong embedded software engineers who have never worked in formal testing environments are encouraged, provided they possess the required technical skill set.

Responsibilities

• Develop, modify, and execute test scripts to validate embedded hardware and firmware functionality
• Perform system-level testing on MCU and circuit board-based products
• Troubleshoot and debug hardware/software integration issues
• Work closely with engineering teams to identify and resolve defects
• Analyze existing test frameworks and improve test coverage where necessary
• Read, maintain, or potentially rewrite legacy test scripts in Python
• Support fixture setup and execution of test activities in a lab environment
