Test Architect

8–12 years of experience in software test engineering, SDET, or quality engineering roles, with a strong record as a hands-on technical leader who has personally architected automation frameworks.

Required: Substantial experience testing Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) or other regulated medical device software, including ownership of test strategy on shipped products.

Required: Deep working knowledge of medical device QMS practices and applicable standards (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, 21 CFR Part 820), including test documentation, traceability, tool validation, and audit support.

Track record designing, scaling, and maintaining E2E automation frameworks covering complete workflows and complex system integrations.

Experience setting test plan, protocol, and report standards in a regulated environment, with rigorous traceability across requirements, test cases, and evidence.

Demonstrated leadership in adopting AI-assisted testing tools and techniques (e.g., AI-augmented authoring, self-healing automation, LLM-driven test generation or triage).

Set and evolve the technical strategy for end-to-end (E2E) test automation across Heartflow's full pipeline, defining patterns, frameworks, and architecture that scale with the platform.

Drive the AI-first approach to test automation: define how AI-assisted authoring, self-healing locators, AI generated spec driven test development and LLM-driven triage are adopted, evaluated, and rolled out across teams.

Architect and own post-deployment testing capabilities, including production smoke, synthetic monitoring, and continuous validation against live environments.

Design test depth and rigor calibrated to each software component's safety classification, ensuring higher-risk components receive deeper verification and evidence.

Author the most complex and consequential test plans, protocols, and reports; set the standards and templates other engineers follow under our QMS.

Lead tool validation strategy for test infrastructure and automation tooling, partnering with RA/QA to ensure validation evidence meets regulatory expectations.
