• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bitbucket, Jenkins) for continuous feedback.

• Ensure full traceability from system requirements to validation outcomes, maintaining quality and compliance across the development lifecycle.

• Mentor SQA engineers and promote best practices in test automation, driving standard work and continuous improvement (Kaizen) in integration and V&V processes. Identify gaps and implement solutions to enhance efficiency and scalability.

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience.

• 5 + years’ experience in software testing or development, ideally within a regulated environment.

• Demonstrated experience with test automation frameworks, such as Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress.

• Proficient in scripting languages including Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, or TypeScript.

• Familiarity with medical device regulations, design control processes, cybersecurity standards and best practices.

• Experience with requirements management and traceability tools.
