Dexcom

The Company

Dexcom Corporation (NASDAQ DXCM) is a pioneer and global leader in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Dexcom began as a small company with a big dream: To forever change how diabetes is managed. To unlock information and insights that drive better health outcomes. Here we are 25 years later, having pioneered an industry. And we're just getting started. We are broadening our vision beyond diabetes to empower people to take control of health. That means personalized, actionable insights aimed at solving important health challenges. To continue what we've started: Improving human health.


We are driven by thousands of ambitious, passionate people worldwide who are willing to fight like warriors to earn the trust of our customers by listening, serving with integrity, thinking big, and being dependable. We've already changed millions of lives and we're ready to change millions more. Our future ambition is to become a leading consumer health technology company while continuing to develop solutions for serious health conditions. We'll get there by constantly reinventing unique biosensing-technology experiences. Though we've come a long way from our small company days, our dreams are bigger than ever. The opportunity to improve health on a global scale stands before us.

Meet the team:

We are seeking a Software Engineer with 5-8 years of experience to design, develop, and maintain automated test solutions for medical device interoperability, with a focus on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems and Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) / insulin pump hardware.


Where you come in:

This role is responsible for building robust, scalable automation frameworks that validate safe and reliable interaction between CGMs, insulin pumps, device controllers, mobile applications, and supporting backend systems. The ideal candidate has strong software engineering fundamentals, experience with test automation, and exposure to regulated medical or safety-critical systems.

  • You will design and implement automated test frameworks for CGM-AID interoperability verification.
  • You will develop reusable test libraries for device communication, data validation, timing, and fault scenarios.
  • You will automate testing of device-to-device communication, including:
    • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data exchange
    • Connection lifecycle (pairing, bonding, reconnect, drop/recover)
    • Data loss, latency, and staleness scenarios
  • You will integrate automation with real hardware, simulators, and emulators.
  • You will integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines supporting firmware, mobile, and system-level builds.
  • You will develop tooling to enable repeatable, deterministic testing of distributed medical devices.
  • You will maintain test environments, mocks, and simulators as systems evolve.
  • You will ensure automation supports regulatory-compliant verification evidence.
  • You will produce automation logs, artifacts, and reports suitable for design history files (DHF).
  • You will work closely with verification engineers, firmware developers, systems engineers, and quality teams.
  • You will support root-cause investigations using automated diagnostics and captured data.
What makes you successful:
  • You have experience working with medical devices, wearables, or safety-critical systems.
  • You have exposure to CGM, insulin pumps, or connected health devices.
  • You have experience automating tests involving BLE, serial protocols, or custom device APIs.
  • You have experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
  • You have understanding of basic medical device regulations or quality systems.
  • You have experience in Test Automation Framework Design
  • You have experience with Python / Java / C++ (or equivalent), familiar with ADB commands
  • You have experience in System & Integration Testing
  • You have strong problem-solving and debugging skills
  • You have the ability to work across hardware and software boundaries
What you'll get: (this section should not be modified)
  • A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomwarriors community.
  • A full and comprehensive benefits program.
  • Growth opportunities on a global scale.
  • Access to career development through in-house learning programs and/or qualified tuition reimbursement.
  • An exciting and innovative, industry-leading organization committed to our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.
Travel Required:
  • 0-5%
Experience and Education Requirements:
  • Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline, and a minimum of 5-8 years related experience or Master's degree and 2-5 years equivalent industry experience or a PhD and 0-2 years experience.
