The Software Test Engineer Co-op will join a highly effective product quality team, working alongside developers in an Agile environment to develop and execute test cases for a wide range of software components, including user interfaces, algorithms and back-end data handling. This role includes writing and updating test cases, manually executing tests and interacting with a variety of electronic equipment in the lab. The co-op will also contribute to test automation efforts requiring coding skills in Python, MATLAB or C++. Our tools include Squish, Python, C++, MATLAB and Linux.

The OPAL HDx Mapping System is a 3D mapping and navigation system and an effective diagnostic tool for cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures. It provides real-time visualization of intracardiac catheters and displays 3D cardiac maps in selected formats during minimally invasive procedures, helping physicians identify the origin of an arrhythmia within the heart chamber. As a physician probes the heart with a catheter, the system generates an accurate anatomical model of the chamber. High-performance rendering and algorithmic techniques are vital to creating a detailed view and providing physicians with immediate feedback.
