Senior Embedded Verification Engineer
RemoteStockholm, Stockholm, Sweden or Sweden
Job Summary
Design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks and rigs that exercise firmware and embedded software against device hardware, sensors, and instruments. Build tooling and pipelines to verify software updates on instruments automatically, ensuring fast deployment with high confidence in safety and compliance. Define test methods and acceptance criteria for system-level verification, then plan and execute system and regression tests while producing audit-ready reports. Collaborate with Firmware, Electronics, Algorithms, Software, QA/RA, and Manufacturing Engineering to make requirements testable and debug failures across boundaries. Ensure all activities comply with Neko's SOPs and regulatory standards including IEC 62304, IEC 60601, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, and EU MDR. Continuously improve verification processes, infrastructure, and tooling to expand scope and enhance quality through faster feedback and clearer reporting. Join the small, fast-moving Verification & Validation team supporting a wide regulated product portfolio spanning medical devices, SaMD, and health software.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Embedded, Software or Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years in system or embedded verification of complex hardware-software products, ideally in medical devices, automotive, robotics, industrial automation or another regulated hardware industry.
- Strong hands-on Python for test automation, test framework development and data analysis.
- Working knowledge of C and C++, enough to read, understand and instrument firmware and embedded software under test, and to collaborate effectively with firmware engineers.
- Solid understanding of embedded systems and common embedded communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet).
- Hands-on experience building automated test infrastructure for embedded devices: Hardware-in-the-Loop rigs, instrument control, fixture design, and integration into CI pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins or equivalent).
- Comfortable debugging across hardware, firmware and software boundaries using oscilloscopes, JTAG/SWD debuggers and protocol sniffers.
- Experience working under a regulated development process.
- Clear, structured written and verbal English, with documentation habits that hold up in an audit.
- A collaborative mindset, happy to work across Firmware, Electronics, Algorithms, Software, QA/RA and Manufacturing to make verification a shared success.
Desired Qualifications
- Shell scripting (Bash) and infrastructure-as-code / YAML pipeline definitions.
- Verifying devices that combine optics, sensors, custom electronics and embedded software.
- Contributing to FDA submissions, EU MDR technical files or Notified Body audits.
- Setting up reporting and dashboarding for continuous verification (test results, coverage, traceability) integrated into build pipelines.
