The Staff Software Test Engineer designs and executes test procedures for robotic medical software, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and quality requirements.
Title: Staff Software Engineer, Robotic Test Automation
This position is based in our Campbell, California offices. This position is on-site & full-time
Why Imperative Care?
At Imperative Care, we are developing novel robotic-assisted technologies and interventional capabilities that will forever change the disparate outcomes of ischemic stroke – a disease that impacts close to a million people a year in the U.S., and 10 million worldwide. Not only is Imperative Care changing the way stroke is treated, but also bringing this treatment to the greater population who is currently without. We are actively building a team who is focused on developing novel solutions for this complex disease – a disease in which one in four adults will face in their lifetime.
What You’ll Do
The Staff Software Engineer uses advanced expertise to lead test automation architecture and strategy on a complex medical robotic platform. This role focuses on software design, automated frameworks, test infrastructure, and scalable verification approaches rather than primarily manual test execution.The initial focus will be automated testing for individual software units and applications. Over time, this role will expand automation into multi-application integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and broader system-level verification.
What You’ll Bring:
Employee Benefits include a stake in our collective success with stock options, bonus, competitive salaries, a 401k plan, health benefits, generous PTO, and a parental leave program.
Join Us! Apply today.

- Define and lead the software test automation strategy across application, integration, and system-level testing.
- Design, implement, and maintain Python-based test automation frameworks, reusable test libraries, test harnesses, simulators, mocks, stubs, and related tooling.
- Build reliable automation for testing software applications in isolation, with deterministic setup, clear pass/fail criteria, and useful diagnostics.
- Create the roadmap for automated integration and system-level testing, including multi-application execution, inter-process communication, simulation-based testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, robotic platform testing, and end-to-end scenarios where appropriate
- Develop risk-based test strategies and verification coverage that connect requirements, architecture, software hazards, defect history, and system behavior.
- Mentor engineers in automation design, test strategy, testable software design, and effective verification practices.
