Production Test Engineer

About the Role

Neko Health is building a new kind of health service: one that catches disease early, before people feel unwell. Our scanners are complex medical devices, and the quality of how we test them in production directly affects what we can tell patients about their health.

Right now, manufacturing test at Neko Health does not have a dedicated owner. Tests are developed in R&D but there is no clear handover path into production, no single person responsible for keeping them current, and no structured way to capture and trace test results across our product lines. This role exists to change that.

We are looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer to build that foundation: owning all tests in production, creating a clear process for R&D to hand tests over into manufacturing, writing the requirements that underpin each test, and developing the traceability that lets us act on test data. You will also work with R&D on new tests as our products evolve.

This is a role with real scope and real impact. You will not be handed a fully defined process you will build it, and what you create will still be running as production scales.

What You Will Do

Own and maintain all tests in production

Manufacturing test at Neko Health currently has no dedicated owner. You will take on that responsibility: keeping tests current as products change, ensuring every test has a clear requirement behind it, and acting as the person R&D can hand a test to when it is ready for production. You will create the structure that makes that handover reliable and repeatable.

Write and own test requirements

You will ensure every test in manufacturing has a clear, approved specification: what is being tested, what the pass/fail criteria are, what equipment is needed, and what the risk rationale is. You will write these requirements, keep them maintained, and manage changes through our quality system.

Develop new tests with R&D

When we develop new products or make significant changes to existing ones, you will work with R&D to turn test concepts into production-ready tests: defined criteria, the right equipment, clear operator instructions, and validated before handover to the floor.

Build traceability into manufacturing test

We are investing in end-to-end traceability across production. You will help design and implement how test results are structured, reported, and pushed to our MES system. This involves both the specification work and the practical implementation writing scripts or integrations to make data flow reliably from test stations to our quality records.

Improve what we already have

You will analyse test failure trends and identify where our current tests can be stronger. Whether that is closing a coverage gap, tightening a criterion, or improving how test data is captured and reported, you will drive the improvement rather than wait for someone to flag it.

Support the production team

You will be a go-to resource for production engineers and operators when test-related issues come up: deviations, non-conformances, or questions about whether a result is valid. You will also contribute to training and documentation so that the team can run tests consistently.

What We Are Looking For

We care more about how you think and work than about a specific background. The things that matter most for this role:

You write documentation that other people can actually use clear, structured, and with a clear requirement behind every decision.

You have worked with test in a manufacturing or hardware context and understand what makes a test production-ready, not just technically correct.

You can translate between engineering intent and operational reality: what R&D needs to verify and what an operator can reliably do on a station.

You are comfortable working across both the technical and the process side scripting a data integration and writing the work instruction for it.

You are comfortable with ambiguity and with building things that do not fully exist yet.

You follow through: if you identify a gap, you close it.

Background

You will likely have experience in test engineering, quality engineering, or manufacturing engineering in a hardware product company. You do not need to have worked in medical devices. What matters is that you have written formal test requirements, worked close to production, and collaborated with engineering teams on test development.

How We Work

At Neko Health we actively use AI in our day-to-day work for documentation, analysis, and problem-solving and we expect the same from everyone who joins. We are not looking for people who use AI occasionally; we are looking for people who have figured out where it genuinely helps and have made it part of how they work. In this role that might mean using it to draft test requirements, analyse test failure patterns, or accelerate integration work and knowing when to rely on engineering judgment instead.

Why Neko Health

We are at an early and important stage: scaling production of medical devices that genuinely improve how disease is detected. The work you do here will be visible, will matter, and will grow in scope as the company grows.

You will work in Stockholm with a small, technically strong team. The role is broad by design we are not looking for someone to fit into a narrow lane.
