Test Architect

Responsibilities

• Set the technical strategy, architecture, patterns, and standards for scalable end-to-end test automation across Heartflow’s software pipeline.
• Lead adoption and evaluation of AI-assisted test authoring, self-healing automation, AI-generated specification-driven tests, and LLM-driven triage.
• Architect post-deployment testing, production smoke testing, synthetic monitoring, and continuous validation against live environments.
• Build and improve UI, mobile, desktop, WebGL-based 3D viewer, API, integration, contract, clinical-data, imaging, and document-output testing capabilities.
• Define test depth based on component safety classification and author complex test plans, protocols, reports, templates, and audit-ready evidence under the QMS.
• Lead validation of test infrastructure and automation tools in partnership with Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance.
• Own requirements-to-test traceability and ensure automated tests map to documented requirements and evidence.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and lead root-cause investigations across distributed systems.
• Serve as a technical owner for quality audits, CAPAs, and regulatory submissions.
• Mentor engineers, lead technical reviews and interviews, help define hiring profiles, and influence quality strategy and tooling investments.

Requirements

• 8–12 years of experience in software test engineering, SDET, or quality engineering, including hands-on architecture of automation frameworks.
• Substantial experience testing and owning test strategy for shipped Software as a Medical Device or other regulated medical-device software.
• Deep knowledge of medical-device QMS practices and standards including ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and 21 CFR Part 820.
• Expert proficiency with Selenium/WebDriver and Playwright, including framework architecture, stability, flake reduction, and parallel execution at scale.
• Experience designing, scaling, and maintaining end-to-end automation frameworks for complete workflows and complex integrations.
• Experience setting regulated-environment standards for test plans, protocols, reports, requirements traceability, test cases, and evidence.
• Experience adopting AI-assisted testing techniques such as augmented authoring, self-healing automation, LLM-driven test generation, or triage.
• Strong programming skills in at least one automation language such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, or C#.
• Deep experience with API and contract testing approaches such as REST Assured, Postman, Karate, or Pact.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and working with cloud environments such as AWS.
• Strong debugging and analytical skills across distributed systems, plus the ability to lead complex root-cause investigations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Preferred experience includes Ketryx, Jama, Polarion, DICOM, HL7, regulatory audits, clinical validation, medical imaging, 3D visualization validation, WinAppDriver, diverse test datasets, performance testing, data-pipeline testing, microservices, and quality metrics.
