Metrics & Continuous Improvement

• Define and track leading and lagging KPIs such as defect trends, automation coverage, CI build stability, and defect severity.
• Focus on early defect detection, continuous integration, and maintaining automation quality as part of best practices.
• Continuously refine verification processes to align with evolving regulatory and clinical requirements.
• Leverage AI significantly for self-healing tests, test frameworks and test script generation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in software/system verification within reputed healthcare or MedTech companies.
• Proven leadership in transforming verification strategies and managing high-performing teams.
• Deep understanding of PACS, DICOM, HL7, and clinical imaging workflows.
• Strong experience with test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Robot Framework, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with regulatory standards (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820).

Preferred Skills

• Experience with cloud-native PACS or enterprise imaging platforms.
• Knowledge of healthcare data privacy and cybersecurity standards (HIPAA, GDPR).
• ISTQB certification or equivalent is a plus.
