Test Engineer II

About the role

You will own the execution of defined test methods and verification protocols for hardware and software-enabled medical products. You will help operate and maintain a disciplined hardware test lab that meets the standards required for regulated product development. You will collect, record, and analyze test data while drafting clear reports that highlight results, discrepancies, and necessary follow-up actions. You will serve as a first line of support for hardware complaint investigation testing using established procedures. You will collaborate closely with Quality, R&D, and program stakeholders to keep testing on schedule and properly documented. You will identify recurring lab challenges and partner with engineers to improve repeatability, standardize workflows, and increase automation. You will support the assembly of prototypes, fixtures, and test setups, including minor modifications using standard bench tools.

Key facts

• Support ad hoc engineering test execution and other bench-level testing needs as programs move through development and verification.
• Support QC testing for in-office builds as needed, including basic incoming checks, screening activities, and documentation of results.
• Serve as a first line of support for hardware-related complaint investigation testing using established methods and documented procedures.
• Help run the lab effectively by maintaining equipment records, tracking fixtures, coordinating calibration status, and keeping the space organized and ready for use.
• Support execution of test method validation protocols and other formal studies prepared by the broader test team.
• Support automated and semi-automated test execution by preparing devices, samples, fixtures, scripts, and lab setups; monitoring runs; and documenting and escalating failures appropriately.
• Support assembly of prototypes, fixtures, and test setups, including minor modifications using standard lab and bench tools.
• Identify recurring execution pain points and partner with test engineers to improve repeatability, standardize workflows, and expand automation support over time.
• Partner closely with Quality, R&D, and other cross-functional stakeholders to ensure testing is completed on schedule and documented appropriately.
• Maintain detailed records for all test activities to ensure traceability and compliance with regulated product expectations.
• Assist in the coordination of calibration schedules for test equipment and ensure all status tracking is current and accurate.
• Support the implementation of improved test procedures and contribute process feedback to drive higher quality outcomes over time.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree, associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent practical experience in engineering, engineering technology, quality, or a related technical field.
• 2+ years of experience working in a test, lab, quality, manufacturing, or product development environment.
• Experience executing written procedures or protocols and documenting results in a clear, traceable, and organized way, including handling sample tracking, equipment records, and test documentation.
• Experience using common lab equipment and working within controlled test setups.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineers, quality partners, and program stakeholders to complete testing on schedule.
• Strong written communication skills for documenting results, discrepancies, and test observations.
• Must be able to adhere to strict process adherence and maintain rigor, traceability, and documentation standards inherent in regulated development.
• Must be detail-oriented and highly organized with a strong bias toward accurate record-keeping and clear reporting.
• Must be comfortable working in a regulated product development environment where compliance and process are essential.
• Must be able to collaborate effectively across multiple teams and manage priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Must reliably follow defined test methods and verification protocols without deviation.
• Must handle test data with integrity ensuring accuracy, completeness, and proper archival.
• Must maintain equipment records and support calibration tracking as part of routine lab responsibilities.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting hardware verification, validation, sustaining, or complaint investigation activities.
• Experience in regulated product development environments, ideally within medical devices.
• Experience with lab administration, calibration tracking, fixture control, or equipment management.
• Experience supporting QC testing, screening, or incoming checks for in-office builds or prototype hardware.
• Experience supporting automated or semi-automated test execution, scripts, or fixtures in a lab environment.
• Basic scripting skills for supporting automated tests, reviewing log data, or assisting with failure triage.
• Familiarity with test methods, protocol execution, and formal report documentation.
• Experience supporting root cause investigations or failure replication on returned or non-conforming product.
• Hands-on experience assembling prototypes, fixtures, or bench test setups and making minor modifications with common tools.
• Proficiency with soldering and hot-air rework for PCBA modifications is a plus.
• Exposure to software or system-level test execution is a plus, especially in environments where hardware and software interact closely.

Practical notes

Hinge Health maintains a hybrid work model where roles balance remote and in-office work. This position is based in our San Francisco headquarters and requires a consistent presence in the office to support lab operations, cross-functional collaboration, and regulated testing activities. Travel is not expected as part of this role. The position is full-time and eligible for standard company benefits.
