The Opportunity:

Universal DX, Inc is seeking a Software Development Engineer in Test to join our software verification team. The successful candidate will create and execute tests for the bioinformatics pipeline that will be part of our Signal-C early cancer detection assay.  You will work closely with other test engineers and software engineers to ensure software quality and speed development.

You will be part of a team that is passionate about developing novel diagnostic tests for the early detection of cancers. As part of the team, you will be in a Company that aims more than to become one of the leaders in the industry. We want to have a huge positive impact on society by achieving the ambitious purpose of "making cancer a curable disease by detecting it earlier". 

 

How you'll contribute:

• Collaborate with computational biology and other software teams to understand expected functional behavior of algorithms and the overall pipeline, as well as a detailed understanding of the software requirements and specifications for the software component to be tested.
• Create and curate in-silico reference data sets which are representative of expected input data.
• Create comprehensive, automated test strategies/plans and frameworks for verifying computational biology and bioinformatic workflows (e.g., pre-processing, pipelines, scoring modules, classifier modules).
• Create test strategies/plans and frameworks which can test containerized builds (e.g., Docker) and cloud services.
• Define, write, and execute formal software test cases under Design Controls, in alignment with IEC 62304 and FDA guidance documents for medical device software.
• Design and execute tests using automated test tools, as well as manual testing processes, for the verification of software requirements.
• Assist software teams with debugging and solving issues discovered during tests.
• Document formal software test outcomes under Design Controls, in alignment with IEC 62304.
• Follow all functions and responsibilities associated to this position that are described in UDx documents.

 

What you'll bring:

• At least 3 years of experience designing and executing software verification test cases for bioinformatics and computational biology software or related areas OR 3+ years of experience designing and implementing bioinformatics pipelines.
• Proficiency in python or other coding language(s).
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or related technical field.
• Experience performing software development and/or testing acitivites under IEC 62304 and associated design controls.
• Experience with NextFlow, AWS, and gitLab (git) is strongly preferred.
• Previous experience reporting protocol variances and defects/issues identified during verification under design controls is preferred.
• Previous experience collaborating with computational biologists, bioinformaticians, other R&D and/or QA team members is preferred.

What we´ll offer:

We're proud to offer exceptional corporate benefits which include:

• 22 days of PTO with the possibility to carry over 10 days to the following year. 
• Company Holidays, plus your Birthday off!  
• Company-sponsored benefit plans, including medical, dental, and vision insurance plus life, STD, and LTD coverage, and 401(k). 
• Flexible work schedule  
• And more to come!
