Lead Test Engineer

Cure Talent is delighted to be supporting an Oxford based digital health and medical technology company, an established university spin out operating at the intersection of hardware, data, cloud, and clinical research. Following significant commercial traction and rapid international deployment, the business is now looking to appoint a Lead Test Engineer to take ownership of product testing across its platform.
This is a highly hands on role within a small, fast-growing organisation, offering genuine ownership of testing strategy, execution, and long-term automation. You will become an expert user of the technology, working closely with software, data, and hardware engineers to ensure quality, reliability, and scalability as the product continues to evolve.
The Role:
The lead test engineer will own system and product testing end to end, covering device behaviour, cloud infrastructure, data processing pipelines, and algorithmic outputs. While the core hardware is now stable and in production, the business is scaling rapidly, deploying into new countries and introducing new biomarker algorithms, all of which require robust, repeatable testing.
Key responsibilities:

• Take ownership of product and system testing across the full platform, from data capture through to customer outputs
  
• Define and maintain test strategies, plans, and documentation suitable for a regulated environment
  
• Validate large scale data processing pipelines and algorithmic outputs
  
• Collaborate with software engineers to design and implement automated testing, primarily using Python
  
• Support testing activities linked to clinical trials and international deployments
  
• Drive continuous improvement in test coverage, reliability, and automation maturity
  We’re looking for someone with:
  
• Strong experience in systems, platform, or product testing within complex technical environments
  
• Experience working with data heavy systems, cloud platforms, or algorithm driven products
  
• A structured and methodical approach, with a clear understanding of the importance of documentation
  
• Confidence taking ownership and operating autonomously in a small, fast paced team
  
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across software, data, and hardware disciplines
  If you’re a systems focused test engineer looking for ownership, technical depth, and real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you
