MISSION Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear. In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives. ABOUT THE ROLE As a System Verification Engineer, Test Automation, you sit at the boundary between our hardware devices and our software. You build the test infrastructure that automates verification of software updates on our instruments, so new software ships quickly and with high confidence in its safety, performance and compliance. You define the test methods for system-level verification, develop the system tests those methods call for, and then automate them. You'll join the Verification & Validation team, which supports a wide regulated product portfolio spanning hardware medical devices (instruments), SaMD and health software. The team is small, growing and fast-moving, with real room to shape engineering quality, verification strategy, and how products are built as we scale. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Design, implement and maintain automated test frameworks and test rigs that exercise firmware and embedded software against the device hardware, sensors and instruments they control, and integrate them into the development and release pipelines. * Build the tooling and pipelines that verify software updates on our instruments automatically, so new software deploys fast and with high confidence. * Define test methods and acceptance criteria for system-level verification of our medical devices. * Plan and execute verification activities, system and regression tests, and produce audit-ready reports. * Contribute to traceability matrices, V&V plans and design reviews. * Collaborate closely with Firmware, Electronics, Algorithms, Software, QA/RA and Manufacturing Engineering to make requirements testable and to debug failures across hardware, firmware and software boundaries. * Ensure verification activities comply with Neko's SOPs and applicable regulatory standards (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, EU MDR). * Continuously improve verification processes, infrastructure and tooling, both in scope (more devices, more coverage) and in quality (faster feedback, less flakiness, clearer reports). ABOUT YOU Must-have: * Automation you built yourself: 5+ years in system-level test and verification of complex hardware-software products, with a track record of developing tests and building test frameworks, test rigs including hardware-in-the-loop and physical stimulus setups, instrument control and fixtures, and integrating them into CI and release pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins or equivalent). * Strong hands-on Python, for test automation, test framework development, tooling and data analysis. * Enough embedded depth to work at the boundary: working knowledge of embedded systems and common protocols (UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, USB, Ethernet), and C and C++ at a level that lets you understand and instrument the firmware under test. * Debugging across the stack: comfort debugging across hardware, firmware and software with oscilloscopes, JTAG/SWD debuggers and protocol sniffers. * From requirements to test methods: turning requirements and product specifications into test methods, verification strategies and acceptance criteria. * A degree in a relevant technical field: Electrical, Embedded, Software or Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics or similar. Nice to have: * Verification that stands up in an audit. Experience from a regulated development process, and documentation habits that produce records an auditor can follow, in clear and structured English. Medical devices, automotive, robotics, industrial automation or another regulated hardware industry all count. * Owning a test automation platform shared by more than one team or product line. * Verifying devices that combine optics, sensors, custom electronics and embedded software. * Setting up reporting and dashboarding for continuous verification (results, coverage, traceability) inside build pipelines. * Shell scripting (Bash) and infrastructure-as-code / YAML pipeline definitions. * Contributing to FDA submissions, EU MDR technical files or Notified Body audits. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS Neko's device portfolio is growing faster than manual verification can scale. As a System Verification Engineer, Test Automation you build the automated verification backbone that lets our instruments be updated safely, quickly and with confidence, across every clinic and every country we operate in.
