Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first - developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact.\nA Day in the Life\nThe Digital Technologies Business Unit (DTBU) at Medtronic is implementing cutting-edge AI technology, computer vision, and augmented reality in the operating room (OR) to augment surgical coaching, and eventually, performance. Our goal is to deliver safer surgery around the world. Our Touch SurgeryTM Video solution is an innovative video management and data analytics platform for hospitals that includes the DS1 Computer, our first OR device, allowing surgeons, OR team members, and trainees to securely access videos of their procedures shortly after surgery.\nAs a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our software development lifecycle by designing and building automated test solutions that ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of our embedded and connected hardware platforms used in the operating room. This role focuses on testing device software, firmware integrations, and hardware-software interaction, rather than web or mobile applications.\nYou’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams to embed quality at every stage, leverage modern automation frameworks, and help drive continuous improvement in our testing practices. If you are passionate about developing robust automation and elevating product quality through software, we want to hear from you.\nPrimary Responsibilities:\nDesign, develop, and maintain robust automated test frameworks and tools for device software, focusing on scalable, reusable solutions. \nCollaborate with software engineers to define test scenarios, testable architectures, and drive quality through code. \nDevelop, implement and execute advanced test automation strategies for embedded, edge, and device-integrated systems (Android AOSP, Linux-based edge devices, IoT gateways), including validation of device drivers, connectivity modules, and firmware updates.\nAnalyse requirements and develop comprehensive test plans and protocols for a range of technologies, including service APIs (REST, IPC), WebUI, and over-the-air updates. \nContribute to continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with automated quality gates. \nGenerate and maintain technical documentation, standards, and best practices for test, automation and quality engineering. \nCollaborate with hardware, firmware, and systems engineers to validate device performance, connectivity, and stability under real-world operating conditions.\nMust be able to commute frequently to London-based office; 3~4 days per week onsite.\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent international degree). \nMinimum 3 years of relevant experience in software automation and test development, or advanced degree with 2+ years relevant experience. \nStrong proficiency in software development for test automation (Python, Java, or equivalent). \nHands-on experience with manual test management tools and test automation frameworks (Selenium, Appium, Espresso, etc.). \nFamiliarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps). \nDevice operating systems (Android, Linux). \nService-oriented architecture (SoA), APIs (REST, IPC). \nHands-on experience testing embedded or connected hardware devices, preferably involving edge computing or IoT systems.\nStrong understanding of hardware-software interaction, debugging logs, and analysing system-level behaviour.\nFamiliarity with firmware validation, board bring-up testing, or similar.\nWeb-based interfaces, Internet-connected devices, OTA updates. \nHighly technical, hands-on, and passionate about product quality. \nDemonstrated ability to design and implement automated solutions, not just execute manual tests. \nSelf-starter, autonomous, and able to lead initiatives independently. \nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with embedded device software development, hardware-in-the-loop testing, device connectivity (USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and video streaming or imaging devices. \nFamiliarity with medical device standards (IEC 62304) and safety-critical testing.\nPhysical Job Requirements\nThe above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by employees assigned to this position, but they are not an exhaustive list of all the required responsibilities and skills of this position.\nRecruitment Fraud Alert\nWe are aware of phishing scams targeting job seekers.
