Software Test Engineer – Contract | Medical Devices | Motherwell (Hybrid)
£68 per hour (Inside IR35) | 6-month initial contract, likely to extend | One-stage interview
We're looking for a Software Test Engineer to join a growing test team working on a market-leading medical device.
This is a hands-on software testing role combining Python test automation with manual testing. The ideal person can do Python test automation, and is happy to pick up manual testing when automation isn't possible - including GUI testing on the device itself.
That said, the hiring manager will also consider pure Python test automation engineers, and pure manual test engineers with embedded software or device testing experience - the task work can be managed to suit your strengths.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing:
- Analysing new requirements and writing automated tests in Python
- Manual software testing of a touchscreen medical device
- Working within a regulated QMS environment, keeping clear test records and evidence
What we're looking for:
- Proven software test experience with embedded software or a physical device (mobile/device testing works well - pure web testing less so)
- Python test automation skills, manual testing skills, or ideally both
- Experience in a regulated or safety-critical sector - medical, automotive, aerospace, defence, finance, oil & gas
- Comfortable being onsite in Motherwell 3 days per week (some flexibility on how, e.g., week on/week off)
