Senior System Verification Engineer (Medical Device)

Job description

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. We're looking for a Senior System Verification Engineer to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. You'll take ownership of system-level verification across the product lifecycle, from early concept through industrialization and market release. Working closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams, you'll turn standards and regulatory requirements into testable requirements and verification strategies that stand up to safety, performance, and regulatory scrutiny. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own the system-level verification strategy for our device hardware, from concept through industrialization and market release, with the IEC 60601 series as the frame - Write verification protocols against a controlled requirement baseline, run them, and sign the report, documenting results, defects, and compliance status for the teams that need them - Shape product requirements early with cross-functional teams so they're testable, traceable, and carry their compliance needs on the face of them, and keep the traceability matrices that prove every requirement has verification behind it - Verify against in-development firmware and software builds, not only finished ones - Develop verification methods, tools, and workflows for end-to-end, integration, and regression testing, with automation where it removes repeat effort or human error, and improve how we verify as the product grows - Coordinate specialized testing with external test houses (EMC, electrical safety, environmental), owning the interface between our internal requirements and their verification activities - Carry test requirements through design transfer, so quality, safety, and compliance hold as products move from development into manufacturing REQUIREMENTS Must have: - 5+ years in system verification and validation of medical devices - Experience with complex embedded systems (hardware, firmware, software) and system-level testing such as EMC, electrical safety, and environmental testing - IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 applied on real products, with a track record of turning a clause into a verification strategy - Hands-on experience developing and executing both manual and automated test methods - Comfortable working across hardware, firmware, software, quality, regulatory, and external partner teams - Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering or a related technical field - Documentation another engineer can follow: protocols and reports that hold up without you in the room. Professional English. Nice to have: - Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as FDA, MDR, and ISO 14971 WHY JOIN THIS TEAM Verification is what makes a scan trustworthy. Someone gets told about a mole, a blood pressure reading, a heart signal, and they act on it. Getting that right is the whole job, and it's a good one. Four reasons this seat stands out: Verification is a discipline here, not a checkbox. It's a function with its own strategy, and you'd be the senior voice in it. Small team, so you set the method. You'd write the verification strategy for our scanner hardware rather than execute someone else's protocol. You're in the room early. Requirements get written with you, not handed to you. Spot an untestable requirement in week one and you sort it with the design engineer there and then, rather than inherit it at design transfer. Finding the problem is the win. Saying what isn't working, early, is how we're expected to work here, which suits a verification engineer better than most roles. And you're sitting among optics, electronics, firmware, mechanics and clinical people in one Stockholm office, so when a test fails you can walk over to whoever designed the thing and work it out together.
