BD · Onsite · USA CA - Irvine Laguna Canyon

We are the people who give possibilities purpose

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health™ is our Purpose, and it’s no small feat.

Job Description

Summary:

We are looking for a Senior Software Developer in Test to own and evolve our automated test platform. This is a software engineering role first, you will design and build production-quality code that happens to verify software, not a testing role that occasionally writes scripts. You will architect test infrastructure, contribute to shared libraries. You are as comfortable reviewing a pull request as you are designing a new module from scratch.

The Senior Software Developer in Test will be a self-directed engineer who holds test code to the same standard as production code. They will bring strong software design instincts, a bias toward building reusable infrastructure over one-off scripts, and the communication skills to align with development teams on quality strategy. They'll thrive in environments where quality is an engineering discipline, not a phase.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain a multi-module test infrastructure spanning API, browser, performance, and protocol-level testing disciplines.

  • Develop and version reusable shared libraries, authentication clients, model libraries, device simulators, and data providers consumed across multiple test modules.

  • Build software simulators for external systems and hardware devices to enable isolated, reproducible test environments independent of third-party availability

  • Engineer layered API client abstractions that handle authentication, request construction, response validation, and structured logging

  • Design and execute load simulations that model realistic concurrent user journeys, define SLO thresholds, and produce actionable results

  • Author and maintain CI/CD pipeline definitions that execute, gate, and report on test results across environments and deployment targets

  • Integrate test execution with external test management and defect tracking systems to maintain traceability from requirement to result

  • Enforce production-grade engineering standards on test code, design patterns, code review, refactoring, and module-level abstractions

  • Advise on API contracts, authentication flows, and system observability from a testability perspective during design and development

  • Mentor engineers contributing to the test codebase and establish conventions that allow the platform to scale with the team

Minimum Required:

  • Bachelor's degree, preferably in Software engineering/Computer science

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience with a strong foundation in object-oriented design and clean code principles.

  • Proficiency in Java; able to design and build maintainable, extensible code at module and library level

  • Proven experience building test frameworks and shared libraries from scratch (not just writing tests within an existing one)

  • Deep understanding of OAuth 2.0 authentication flows including client credentials, PKCE, bearer token injection, and thread-safe token refresh.

  • Hands-on experience engineering browser automation frameworks including page object hierarchies, dynamic wait strategies, and failure diagnostics

  • Experience designing and executing load simulations with realistic user journey modeling and JVM tuning for high-concurrency execution

  • Proficiency with multi-module build systems, dependency management, and library versioning at scale

  • Experience authoring and owning CI/CD pipeline definitions end-to-end, including containerized test environments

  • Familiarity with structured test reporting, code coverage analysis, and static quality tooling

Preferred skills and knowledge:

  • Experience building software simulators for external systems, APIs, or hardware devices communicating over non-HTTP protocols (WebSocket, MQTT, TCP, or similar)

  • Familiarity with healthcare messaging standards such as HL7 v2.x or FHIR

  • Experience integrating test results with test management or defect tracking platforms (e.g. Xray, Zephyr)

  • Background in domains involving regulated, safety-critical, or medical device software

  • Contributions to open-source testing or developer tooling
