Job summary

Merge medical imaging solutions, offered by Merative, seek a Lead Automation Developer who will own the test automation strategy for the Imaging Suite portfolio — setting the technical direction, tooling, and measurement framework that determine how quality is engineered across our products, and driving the shift from manual verification to automated coverage — while remaining hands‑on developing and reviewing automated tests.

Qualifications

• Required Education: An undergraduate degree, college diploma, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 8+ years of related experience in software development, including significant experience with automated test tools, frameworks, and processes; experience setting technical direction across multiple teams; experience defining and reporting engineering quality metrics; experience developing software in a regulated environment (FDA, IEC 62304, ISO 13485) preferred; experience with medical imaging, PACS, or healthcare applications preferred.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the test automation strategy for the Imaging Suite portfolio, including scope, architecture, and roadmap.
• Define the technical strategy for automation tooling — evaluating, selecting, and standardizing frameworks and harnesses, and building the case for adoption or replacement.
• Align product teams across the portfolio on common automation approaches, shared frameworks, and consistent quality practices.
• Set the standard for test design and maintainability, and integrate automated verification into CI/CD so quality signal arrives early and continuously.
• Establish, track, and report measurable KPIs spanning quality, requirements and code coverage, test efficiency, and the replacement of manual testing with automated testing.
• Track suite health and effectiveness — flaky and false-failure rates, test maintenance burden, mean time to diagnose a failure, and defects caught by automation versus escaping to the field.
• Report regression cycle duration, time-to-feedback, and return on automation investment in displaced manual effort and recovered release time.
• Produce and maintain a portfolio-level dashboard making coverage, trends, and gaps visible to engineering leadership, and use it to direct where automation is invested next.
• Introduce and lead an AI strategy for automated test development — assisted authoring, generation from requirements, and accelerated migration of manual test cases.
• Apply AI-assisted techniques to failure triage and root cause identification, and extend the test harness with capabilities such as self-healing locators and intelligent test selection.
• Establish governance for AI-assisted test development, including validation of generated artifacts and the evidence standards required in a regulated environment.
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test cases, protocols, and the frameworks and harnesses that support them; review tests authored by other engineers.
• Verify software against functional requirements, user requirements, and design specifications; conduct ongoing regression and integration testing.
• Troubleshoot complex failures with development teams, report defects in the approved tracking tool, and prove out new methods for automated verification and validation.
• Track automation work assignments across team members, ensure verification evidence meets regulatory traceability standards, and mentor more junior engineers.
