Staff Software Test Engineer

Join CoMind as a Staff Software Test Engineer in London, focusing on innovative neuromonitoring technology that enhances brain disorder diagnosis and treatment.

• Architect a scalable, high-fidelity testing infrastructure that enables continuous validation. Champion 'design for testability' across the entire engineering stack, influencing system architecture to ensure critical safety and performance requirements are verifiable by design.
• Define the end-to-end V&V strategy for the product lifecycle. Quantitatively map software verification evidence directly to system-level safety risks (ISO 14971) to create a 'compliance-as-code' environment that drastically reduces time-to-submission for FDA and other regulatory bodies.
• Drive a 'quality-first' engineering culture by mentorship. Lead training and initiatives on Test-Driven Development (TDD), CI/CD best practices, and automated quality gates, ensuring that the engineering team’s velocity is sustained by high-confidence automated processes.
• Lead the development of AI-augmented test strategies. Architect predictive anomaly detection systems and AI-driven test generation engines that evolve alongside our software, turning the test suite into an intelligent system that learns from past regressions.
• Collaborate with engineering leadership to drive continuous improvement in software development and test processes, ensuring that quality practices scale with the organisation.
• AI is fundamental to our culture — it's not just a tool, but a core part of how we work, collaborate, and innovate. We expect all team members to embrace AI in their daily work and continuously find new ways to use it effectively.

• Strategic Execution: 7+ years in software test engineering, with a proven track record of architecting testing strategies for complex, regulated systems (embedded, real-time, or SaMD).
• Regulatory & Risk Authority: Deep working knowledge of IEC 62304 and ISO 14971. Proven ability to design 'compliance-as-code' workflows that integrate risk controls directly into the CI/CD pipeline and automate regulatory evidence generation.
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced Python and C/C++; extensive experience building scalable test infrastructure for both embedded hardware and cloud-side data pipelines.
• Cultural Leadership: Demonstrated success in mentoring software engineers and driving a 'quality-first' culture through TDD, static analysis, and automated quality gates.
• Cybersecurity & Documentation: Strong experience in cybersecurity requirements (e.g., IEC 81001-5-1, FDA cybersecurity guidance) and rigorous documentation management for regulatory submission.
• Experience testing real-time Linux or RTOS-based products.
• Background in MLOps, including validation of model drift, dataset governance, and automated performance evaluation.
• Expertise in managing complex build environments (e.g., CMake, Bazel) or cloud-native infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS/GCP).
• Direct experience navigating FDA Q-Sub or MHRA pre-submission processes.
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop test environments.

• Company equity plan so all employees share in the success of the company
• Salary-sacrifice pension scheme
• Private medical, dental and vision insurance (medical history disregarded)
• Group life assurance at 4x annual income
• Comprehensive mental health support, including unlimited access to 1:1 sessions with trained professionals
• Unlimited holiday allowance (+ bank holidays) and one week of remote working per quarter
• Lunch voucher (£10) every day for JustEat and free dinner on those days where you need to work later
• Twice weekly deliveries of fresh fruit and an extensive selection of snacks and drinks
• YuLife subscription, allowing you to turn your daily steps and meditation into discounts at a range of storesDISCLAIMER - We use AI notetaking tools to transcribe interviews for internal review. By proceeding, you consent to this. Let us know if you'd prefer we don't.
