Simulation Engineer

Simulation Engineer

Job Title Simulation Engineer

Location San Jose, CA (On-site)

Duration Long term contract

Primary Focus Simulator Development (C#), Automation (Squish), & Firmware/Hardware Validation

Overview In this pivotal role, you will own the enhancement and maintenance of our proprietary

Software Simulator —the critical tool used to validate our robotic surgical hardware and firmware without needing the physical robot every time. You will spend the majority of your time coding in

C#

to expand the simulator's capabilities, while also using

Squish

and

Python

to drive automation.

What You Will Actually Be Doing

Core Responsibility:

Lead the design, development, and enhancement of the client

System Simulator

using

C# . You will build the virtual environment that mocks hardware behavior to test firmware and software logic.

Automation Strategy:

Develop and execute automated test scripts using

Squish

(GUI automation) and Python.

Hybrid Validation:

Perform a mix of automated and

manual testing . You will manually execute complex test cases where automation isn't yet feasible, ensuring total system safety.

Hardware/Firmware Interface:

Validate the interaction between high-level software and low-level firmware/hardware components via the simulator.

Compliance & Process:

Draft verification protocols and manage requirements/defects using

JAMA

and

Jira , ensuring strict adherence to

FDA QSR

and IEC 62304 standards.

CI/CD Integration:

Integrate simulator tests into the Continuous Integration pipeline (Jenkins/GitHub) to catch regressions early.

Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiables)

C# Expertise:

Minimum

5+ years

of hands-on development experience in C#. You must be comfortable writing complex object-oriented code, not just editing scripts.

Python Experience:

Minimum

2+ years

of scripting experience (used for glue code and automation support).

Automation Tools:

Proven experience with

Squish

(preferred), WinAppDriver, or similar GUI automation tools.

Flexibility:

Willingness to perform

manual testing

when necessary to ensure product quality.

Preferred Qualifications

Medical Device Background:

Solid understanding of

FDA QSR (21 CFR Part 820) , ISO 13485, and the V&V (Verification & Validation) process.

Experience testing

Firmware

or embedded systems via simulation.

Experience with

JAMA

for requirements management.

Background in Robotics or complex electromechanical systems.

Seniority Level Mid-Senior level
