Software Test Analyst 2

Solid working knowledge of cell biology, flow cytometry, fluidics, or fluorescence imaging.

Demonstrated ability to write clear, thorough, and maintainable test cases derived from software requirements.

Experience with defect tracking tools.

Solid understanding of SDLC.

Hands-on laboratory experience operating flow cytometers, automated imaging platforms, or microfluidic instruments.

Exposure to test management tools.

Develop and maintain test cases and test plans for assigned instrument software areas — including UI workflows, fluidics control sequences, flow cell operations, imaging acquisition, and data analysis outputs — based on requirements and specifications.

Operate the instrument independently as part of test execution, configuring runs, loading reagents and flow cells, and interpreting instrument behavior to assess whether observed results reflect software issues or expected system responses.

Execute functional, regression, integration, and exploratory test cycles.

Design test scenarios that account for instrument-specific variables such as reagent types, flow cell configurations, cell concentrations, and imaging parameters.

Identify, document, and track defects through to resolution.

Participate in requirement reviews and sprint planning to provide QA perspective and flag testability risks related to fluidics, imaging, or biological variability early in the development cycle.
