SDET Lead/ Architect for Chennai Location

Job Description

Role Overview
Serve as a high-impact technical authority and lead individual contributor responsible for the architecture, verification strategy, and technical execution of software testing across the surgical robotics platform. Architect enterprise-grade automated GUI and mechatronic test frameworks while conducting critical hands-on manual, exploratory, and safety-boundary verification. Own automated regression pipelines, lead complex defect isolation on physical robotic hardware, and drive rigorous verification coverage in compliance with medical device design controls.

Requirements

Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline.
8+ years of hands-on professional experience in software test engineering, test automation, or software development on complex electro-mechanical, robotic, or safety-critical embedded products.
Proven technical mastery across the full testing lifecycle, including hands-on manual verification, exploratory testing, formal verification protocol authoring, and test framework architecture.
Extensive, advanced experience designing, developing, and deploying automated GUI test frameworks using tools like Squish.
Advanced programming capabilities in Python with solid fluency in C++ and object-oriented software engineering principles.
Deep practical knowledge of Linux/Windows environments, shell scripting (Bash/Shell), and multi-tier testing methodologies (functional, stress, performance, exploratory, black/gray/white box).
Demonstrated working knowledge of medical device software standards and design control lifecycles (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971).
Desired Qualifications
Hands-on testing experience with surgical or industrial robotic arms, sensors, multi-axis servo actuators, kinematic systems and medical device capital equipment.
Demonstrated experience establishing bidirectional requirements traceability, test run execution records, and defect linking in JAMA or similar enterprise ALM platforms.
Strong experience in network diagnostics, packet inspection, and troubleshooting data latency/bandwidth across distributed real-time network nodes.
Familiarity with surgeon-in-the-loop workflows, clinical usability assessments, or human-factors evaluation methodologies.

Job Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities
Architect, implement, and scale modular automated test frameworks in Python and C++ covering backend services, GUI applications, and mechatronic sub-assemblies.
Design and execute rigorous manual verification protocols, exploratory testing, boundary assessments, and fault-injection scenarios to assess safety-critical edge cases on physical robotic hardware.
Build, expand, and maintain automated GUI test suites (e.g., Squish) for surgeon consoles and touchscreen interfaces, complementing automation with manual usability and tactile workflow assessments.
Own automated CI/CD regression test pipelines and manage scheduled execution runs directly on physical robotic systems.
Author, execute, review, and baseline formal verification protocols, manual test procedures, and test execution reports in full compliance with design controls.
Lead technical root-cause analysis and defect triage for complex, intermittent software-hardware anomalies using JIRA, performing hands-on manual reproduction and signal-level isolation.
Establish engineering-wide test architecture standards, drive code quality for test repositories, and partner closely with software development, systems engineering, and quality assurance teams to close coverage gaps.
