📋 Description

• You'll own verification and validation activities across Foresight's software portfolio — working closely with bioinformaticians, software engineers, and clinical laboratory teams to ensure every system is tested thoroughly and documented completely. • Aligning all software testing processes with IEC 62304 and ISO 13485 design control requirements, and ensuring the team operates consistently within that framework. • Overseeing V&V activities for pipeline software, lab automation methods, reagent QC software, LIMS/LIS tools, and select laboratory instruments. • Designing and executing software verification tests for NGS bioinformatics pipelines — including tests for end-to-end analysis workflows and individual NGS algorithms. • Developing and maintaining test templates, test protocols, and IEC 62304-aligned test cases that are clear, complete, and audit-ready. • Reviewing executed test cases, assessing variances, and collaborating with the Quality Assurance team to resolve and document findings appropriately. • Approving test reports and ensuring full documentation compliance under design controls. • Establishing and maintaining V&V traceability across device software, lab automation tools, and lab instruments — including oversight of software traceability matrices across all device software components. • Managing the cadence, prioritization, and execution of V&V activities across concurrent programs. • Traveling to the Foresight lab in Boulder, CO on a regular basis to support testing activities, lab integration work, and cross-functional collaboration.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years conducting and overseeing software verification and validation activities for regulated medical device software (510(k) and/or PMA pathways). • 3+ years designing and executing verification tests specifically for NGS bioinformatics pipelines — including NGS analysis workflows and individual algorithm testing. • 2+ years of testing experience in cloud environments (AWS or GCP). • Direct working knowledge of ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 design controls — applied experience, not just familiarity. • Prior experience working cross-functionally with bioinformaticians, software engineers, and clinical laboratory teams. • Prior work experience in bioinformatics, computational biology, or a biology-related field — this is a hard requirement for this role. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, compliant documentation. • Preferred testing experience with pipeline orchestration tools such as Nextflow. • Hands-on exposure to clinical laboratory workflows — CAP/CLIA environment experience is a meaningful advantage. • Familiarity with LIMS/LIS platforms in a regulated diagnostic context. • Experience contributing to or preparing for FDA submissions (510(k) or PMA) from a V&V documentation standpoint.
