The Position

Are you someone who finds satisfaction in the details? Do you enjoy the process of systematically checking software to ensure it works perfectly with physical hardware?

In our cross functional and cross Site team, we are looking for a Test Technician with a strong interest in Instrument testing focusing on Software Testing to join our team in Sant Cugat. While you will be working with physical medical instruments, your primary focus will be on the software that drives them—executing test cases, documenting defects, and ensuring the system is reliable for patient use.

Your Role

In this position, you aren't just "clicking buttons"—you are the guardian of software quality. You will be responsible for the consistent execution of test protocols that bridge the gap between digital code and mechanical movement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Software-Centric medical device testing: 
  • Execute manual test cases focusing on software functionality, with a customer mindset on a medical device.
• Lifecycle Maintenance: 
  • Create, refine, and update software test cases over the entire life cycle of the medical device.
• Methodical Execution: 
  • Perform repetitive test cycles with high consistency to ensure software stability across different versions.
• Technical Documentation: 
  • Document every step of your process. You will record defects and test results with high precision to meet medical regulatory standards.

Your Profile

We are looking for a practical, detail-oriented professional with a genuine passion for technology. If you love troubleshooting, have a high affinity for software, and prefer hands-on execution over theoretical concepts, this is the role for you. Formación Profesional (Grado Medio/Superior), no university degree is required—we value your practical skills, technical curiosity, and drive to learn

Técnico/a de Pruebas, Tester de Software y Hardware, Técnico de Verificación y Validación (V&V), Desarrollo de Aplicaciones Multiplataforma, Grado en Ingeniería Informática or similar

The "Tester" Mindset: 

You are naturally conscientious and thorough. You enjoy a routine-oriented environment and take pride in performing repetitive tasks with 100% accuracy every time.

Software Affinity: 

You have a keen interest in how software operates and a desire to build a career in instrument/system testing (no programming skills needed).

Quality First: 

You understand that documenting a test is just as important as performing it.

Soft skills:

Ability to actively contribute to team collaboration, inclusion, sharing ideas and good team spirit, as well as mutual trust and respect (project team and sub chapter level)

Languages skills:

Expert Spanish (C1 or better) and expert English (C1 or better) language skills. The project language is English. Local team language is Spanish

Bonus skills:

• Basic understanding of customer workflows in the area of diagnostic instruments (e.g. in coagulation or serum work area)
• Basic skills with testing tools e.g. Retina
