What if your attention to detail helped a surgeon perform better — and a patient recover faster?
At Surgical Science, we build the simulators that train surgeons before they ever step into an operating room. Our haptic feedback devices, anatomical models, and instrument simulators are used by healthcare professionals across the globe to sharpen their skills in a safe, controlled environment. The stakes are real — and so is the impact of getting quality right.
We're looking for a QC Engineer to join our Quality Control team at our production facility in Gothenburg, Sweden. You will work at the heart of our manufacturing operations — where precision meets purpose.
What you'll actually do
Own end-to-end QC test plans: analyze product requirements and design detailed test cases that cover functional, integration, regression, and system scenarios
Validate surgical instrument simulators, anatomical models with sensors, and haptic feedback devices — making sure every unit that leaves our facility meets the highest standards
Calibrate measurement equipment and simulator components to maintain accuracy across the production line
Perform acceptance testing on incoming components and vendor-supplied parts
Conduct production line quality checks and sign off on systems meeting specification
Dig into complex defects — trace root causes, document findings, and work with production and development to resolve them
Participate in requirements reviews, bringing the QC lens early in the product lifecycle
Maintain and improve test documentation, calibration procedures, and QC processes
What you need to bring
2–5 years of hands-on QC testing experience, ideally in a hardware/software environment
Solid knowledge of QC testing methodologies and test documentation standards (STD/STP/STR)
Experience with calibration procedures and measurement equipment
Proficiency in quality management tools such as Dynamics and iAuditor
Comfortable working in both Windows and Linux environments
Strong written and spoken English — you'll collaborate across teams and time zones
A sharp analytical mind and the ability to manage multiple priorities without dropping the ball
This role is on-site at our Gothenburg, Sweden facility
Even better if you have
Background in medical devices, simulators, or similar hardware/software industries
Previous QC experience at a company with a comparable product complexity
Familiarity with full product development lifecycles in a regulated environment
Where this can take you
The QC Engineer role is a real foundation for growth. You could develop into a Senior QC Engineer or take on a team lead position as we scale. Our cross-functional setup means you'll build deep relationships across production, R&D, and software — opening doors to specialized paths in quality systems, validation engineering, or product development.
You'll also work with colleagues across Sweden, the US, and beyond, giving you exposure to international ways of working in a company that's been at the forefront of medical simulation for over 25 years.
