As a Software Test Engineer Intern you will join a highly effective product quality team, working alongside developers in an Agile environment to develop and execute test cases for a wide range of software components, including user interfaces, algorithms and back-end data handling. This role includes writing and updating test cases, manually executing tests and interacting with a variety of electronic equipment in the lab. The co‑op will also contribute to test automation efforts requiring coding skills in Python, MATLAB or C++. Our tools include Squish, Python, C++, MATLAB and Linux.

The OPAL HDx Mapping System is a 3D mapping and navigation system and an effective diagnostic tool for cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures. It provides real‑time visualization of intracardiac catheters and displays 3D cardiac maps in selected formats during minimally invasive procedures, helping physicians identify the origin of an arrhythmia within the heart chamber. As a physician probes the heart with a catheter, the system generates an accurate anatomical model of the chamber. High-performance rendering and algorithmic techniques are vital to creating a detailed view and providing physicians with immediate feedback.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Use problem‑solving skills to perform meaningful engineering work.
• Collaborate with a cross‑functional team to support product quality.
• Design, develop and execute test cases to ensure product quality by validating system functionality and verifying that business and user requirements are met within the electrophysiology domain.
• Manually execute tests and run automated test scripts.

Preferred qualifications:

• Prior software testing experience.
• Working knowledge of C++.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience with report writing and documentation.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational and documentation skills.
