Verification Engineer – Hardware & Medical Device Testing, Helsinki

About the role

Our end customer is an international medical technology company developing devices and solutions used in healthcare environments. Its product portfolio includes compact wireless patient monitoring devices, sensors, and related equipment that help healthcare professionals monitor vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate.

As a Verification Engineer, you will focus on hands-on hardware verification and testing, ensuring that physical products and components meet their technical requirements.

Your work will involve a variety of mechanical and electronic tests, from evaluating the durability of components to testing their performance under different environmental conditions. A significant part of the role also involves documenting test procedures and results, reporting findings, and collaborating with engineers across different disciplines.

You will join a larger hardware engineering organization and work closely with another Verification Engineer, mechanical and electronics designers, and project managers. The team includes professionals at different experience levels, providing opportunities to share knowledge and develop your technical expertise.

Employment arrangement: Academic Work is managing this recruitment on behalf of our client, a staffing partner of the medical technology company. You will be employed directly by this partner company and work at the end customer's facilities in Helsinki.

We offer

• Meaningful, hands-on engineering work: Contribute to the verification of medical technology used in patient care.
• Variety in technical testing: Work with different physical products, components, testing equipment, and verification methods.
• A collaborative engineering environment: Work alongside mechanical and electronics engineers and other technical specialists.
• Opportunities to develop your expertise: Gain experience in medical device verification, specialized testing methods, and technical documentation.
• Salary: The monthly salary range is about €3,500–€4,500, with the final salary determined by your previous experience and relevant technical skills.

Work tasks

Your primary responsibility will be to carry out hardware verification activities and ensure that products meet their specified technical requirements.

Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Performing hands-on mechanical and electronic testing of medical devices and hardware components.
• Conducting durability, mechanical stress, drop, and environmental tests, including temperature, humidity, and water resistance testing.
• Using laboratory testing equipment and measurement tools according to established procedures.
• Documenting test activities, analyzing results, and preparing clear technical verification reports.
• Communicating test findings, deviations, and potential issues to engineering teams and other stakeholders.
• Collaborating with mechanical designers, electronics engineers, and project managers to understand test requirements and priorities.

This is primarily a practical laboratory testing role, rather than a software testing, programming, or test automation position.

We are looking for

To succeed in this role, you have (must-have):

• Previous professional, hands-on experience in mechanical and/or electronic testing of physical devices, hardware products, or components.
• A practical understanding of hardware testing methods and the ability to work with physical testing equipment.
• The ability to document technical test results accurately and communicate findings clearly.
• Good English communication skills, both written and spoken.
• The ability and willingness to work on-site at the testing laboratory in Vallila, Helsinki, on a daily basis.

A background in mechanical engineering, electronics, or another relevant technical field is well suited to this position.

It is considered an advantage if you have experience with (nice-to-have):

• Testing small electronic devices, low-voltage electronics, or compact mechanical components.
• Mechanical testing methods and equipment, such as tensile testing machines and drop testing.
• Environmental testing, including climatic chambers, humidity testing, and IPX water resistance testing.
• Electronic measurement equipment, such as multimeters and oscilloscopes.
• Medical devices, regulated product development, or relevant testing standards.

Previous experience in the medical technology industry is not required. You can learn the product-specific verification methods and procedures on the job.

To succeed in the role, your personal skills are:

• Systematic and detail-oriented: You work carefully, follow test procedures, and understand the importance of accurate documentation.
• Responsible and reliable: You take ownership of your work and ensure that findings are reported clearly and accurately.
• Collaborative and service-minded: You enjoy supporting engineers and working with different stakeholders.
• Communicative and proactive: You are comfortable asking questions, discussing technical requirements, and raising potential issues.
• Resilient and adaptable: You can manage changing priorities and requests from multiple projects.

Other information

• Location and remote work: The position is based in Vallila, Helsinki. Because the work involves physical devices and laboratory equipment, daily on-site presence is expected. Occasional remote work may be possible for tasks such as finalizing reports.
• Contract duration: The position is full-time and fixed-term until the end of 2027. An extension may be possible depending on future business needs.
• Salary: The monthly salary range is €3,500–€4,500, with the final salary determined by your previous experience and relevant technical skills.
