The Software Test Engineer will perform testing of Avive's cloud-based products, write Python scripts for API testing, and manage test documentation in Jira. The role includes both manual and automated testing of applications and embedded systems to ensure quality and reliability.
About Us:
Avive Solutions, Inc. (https://avive.life) is a VC-backed healthcare technology company that has developed an FDA approved, next-generation Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and response system in an effort to – literally – save lives. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and we are on a mission to change that! We are a dynamic team that builds elegant, creative solutions to solve complex problems. Ultimately, our mission is for all cardiac arrest victims to have rapid access to life-saving defibrillation.
Avive is taking a fresh approach to addressing this decades-old problem by providing an advanced AED technology, coupled with a first-of-its-kind software platform solution to enable a quicker and more streamlined response to cardiac arrest emergencies. We believe that this unique combination of deploying advanced – yet still accessible – hardware, and novel software, has the potential to revolutionize out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response and massively impact SCA survival rates.
