Software Development Engineer in Test

Salary: £65,000 - 105,000 per year

Requirements:

• 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).
• Experience with device operating systems such as Android and Linux.
• Knowledge of service-oriented architecture (SoA) and 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.
• Experience with web-based interfaces, Internet-connected devices, and 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.
• Must be able to commute frequently to our London-based office; 3 to 5 days per week onsite.

Responsibilities:

• 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 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.
