You will be hands-on in writing and running tests, extending the test harness and verifying releases, and over time take on more responsibility for what we verify at each level, how it traces to requirements and risk, and what \"ready to release\" means for a product on the market under design controls.\nWe are looking for someone who enjoys testing hardware and software together, wants to understand what verification in a regulated industry demands, and is keen to grow into a broader role. You will help raise the standard of testing across the engineering team.\nThe Company\n\nMedical imaging helps patients by enabling early and accurate diagnosis. However, 2D X-rays can be inconclusive as they give a fundamentally limited view of our 3D bodies. 3D images are possible with CT scanners but these are much more expensive, give a higher dose of radiation and moving a critically ill patient to a scanner can be labour-intensive and risky.\nAt Adaptix we are helping make 3D imaging more accessible to the people who need it by producing mobile flat-panel X-ray systems that can be brought to patients - giving low-cost, low-dose imaging.\nCandidate Profile\n As our ideal candidate, you will have a degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience, along with demonstrable professional experience in testing systems that combine hardware and software, or a clear eagerness to learn.\nKey Responsibilities\nMain responsibilities\nContribute to the test strategy for our 3D X-ray imaging products, covering integration, software and system levels, from continuous testing throughout development to formal testing during verification and validation, and grow into owning it over time \nMaintain and extend the existing test automation, and help bring it together into a coherent framework \nDesign and run software and system-level verification, including hardware and firmware integration \nCarry out regression testing and release verification for a product on the market under design controls, in accordance with applicable standards including IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 \nWork with the Quality team to maintain traceability from verification to requirements and risk management, and to document test evidence to the standard required for audits and regulatory submissions \nHelp ensure the shared platform is tested once and each vertical, including medical, veterinary and non-destructive testing, gets the appropriate level of rigor \nHelp build and extend the test harness, test rigs and CI integration \nUse AI tools effectively to accelerate test automation, ensuring the results meet the standard required for regulated test evidence \nSupport developers in writing good tests and help raise the standard of testing across the team \nSkills, Knowledge and Expertise\nEssential skills and experience:\nDemonstrable professional experience in testing systems that combine hardware and software, or a clear eagerness to learn: the ability to pick up hardware-level testing quickly and an existing interest in testing within a regulated industry \nSome experience of working under a regulated or safety-critical process, or a willingness to learn \nAbility to build: proficiency in Python, experience putting tests into CI, and experience writing or extending a test harness \nAbility to communicate technical information clearly and to work well with engineers across disciplines \nDesirable skills and experience:\nFamiliarity with IEC 62304 and ISO 14971, or equivalent standards in another regulated industry \nHardware-in-the-loop or test-rig experience, including firmware-level testing \nFamiliarity with Windows and embedded systems \n Apply Now\n\nThis is a permanent full-time role based at our R&D site in Begbroke Science Park, Oxfordshire.\n\nPlease note the closing date, however, should we find a suitable candidate before this date, the position may be filled earlier. Please note that we are unable to provide sponsorship for visa applications for this role.\n\nIf you feel that you would excel in this role we would be delighted to hear from you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":4502,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sports Medicine","Veterinary Medicine","Biosensors"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T20:05:33Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-06T22:32:54+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/adaptix-system-test-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/adaptix-system-test-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T23:02:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1910,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4432789},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4432789"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fadaptix-system-test-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fadaptix-system-test-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fadaptix-system-test-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/adaptix-system-test-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fadaptix-system-test-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3702691}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"adaptix.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3702691},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
