A Day in the Life

The 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.

As a Senior Test Automation Engineeryoull 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.

Youll 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.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Design develop and maintain robust automated test frameworks and tools for device software focusing on scalable reusable solutions.
• Collaborate with software engineers to define test scenarios testable architectures and drive quality through code.
• Develop 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.
• Analyse requirements and develop comprehensive test plans and protocols for a range of technologies including service APIs (REST IPC) WebUI and over-the-air updates.
• Contribute to continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with automated quality gates.
• Generate and maintain technical documentation standards and best practices for test automation and quality engineering.
• Collaborate with hardware firmware and systems engineers to validate device performance connectivity and stability under real-world operating conditions.
• Must be able to commute frequently to London-based office; 35 days per week onsite.

Required Knowledge and Experience:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or related field (or equivalent international degree).
• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in software automation and test development or advanced degree with 2 years relevant experience.
• Strong proficiency in software development for test automation (Python Java or equivalent).
• Hands-on experience with manual test management tools and test automation frameworks (Selenium Appium Espresso etc.).
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins GitHub Actions Azure DevOps).
• Device operating systems (Android Linux).
• Service-oriented architecture (SoA) APIs (REST IPC).
• Hands-on experience testing embedded or connected hardware devices preferably involving edge computing or IoT systems.
• Strong understanding of hardware-software interaction debugging logs and analysing system-level behaviour.
• Familiarity with firmware validation board bring-up testing or similar.
• Web-based interfaces Internet-connected devices OTA updates.
• Highly technical hands-on and passionate about product quality.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement automated solutions not just execute manual tests.
• Self-starter autonomous and able to lead initiatives independently.

Experience with embedded device software development hardware-in-the-loop testing device connectivity (USB Wi-Fi Bluetooth) and video streaming or imaging devices. Familiarity with medical device standards (IEC 62304) and safety-critical testing is a strong plus.
