Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you found a problem in something others thought was finished.
What they are checking: Whether they have the curiosity and nerve to keep digging after everyone else has moved on.
Tell me about a time you had to learn a complex system quickly to get your work done.
What they are checking: Whether they can ramp up on unfamiliar products fast enough to contribute during a short co-op term.
What would you do
You find what looks like a defect, but the development engineer says the system is working as designed. What do you do next?
What they are checking: Whether they can push back with evidence and stay respectful when the person who built it disagrees.
The role mixes structured and creative test approaches. When would you stop following the script and just explore?
What they are checking: Whether they know scripted tests catch known risks while exploratory testing finds the surprises nobody planned for.
How would you test the usability of an anesthesia workstation if you're not a clinician yourself?
What they are checking: Whether they can picture the real user under stress and test for mistakes a tired clinician might make.
Your test equipment gives you a result that doesn't make sense. How do you figure out whether it's the product or the test setup?
What they are checking: Whether they suspect their own setup first before filing a false defect that wastes engineering time.
About the work
The goal here is to find defects in an anesthesia system before it ever reaches manufacturing. How would you go about trying to break a feature you've never seen before?
What they are checking: Whether they think like a tester who hunts for failure, not someone who only confirms the happy path works.
What's the difference between verification and validation, and why would a medical device company care so much about keeping them separate?
What they are checking: Whether they understand building the product right versus building the right product, which shapes every test plan.
Walk me through how you'd write a test case for something like a ventilator alarm that fires when pressure goes too high.
What they are checking: Whether they can turn a requirement into steps with clear inputs, expected results and pass or fail criteria.
How would you write up a bug so that a busy developer can reproduce it on the first try?
What they are checking: Whether they know a defect report is only useful if it is precise, repeatable and free of guesswork.
Why does documentation matter so much in a regulated medical device environment, even for a co-op?
What they are checking: Whether they see that an untraceable test result is worthless when a regulator or auditor asks for proof.
