Manager - Systems Automation (Medical Device Testing) [T500-25773]

ANSR is hiring for one of its clients.
About ANSR MedTech:
Who We Are:
ANSR MedTech Capability Center is a new global innovation hub being established in India for a Fortune 100 Fastest-Growing Company in the MedTech sector. Built in partnership with ANSR, the center draws on ANSR’s proven experience in establishing and scaling high-performance Global Capability Centers (GCCs) for leading global enterprises.
ANSR MedTech center brings together world-class engineering, product, and technology talent to build next-generation healthcare platforms and solutions that power global operations.

Our Vision:
To build a next-generation MedTech capability center that powers global healthcare innovation.

We envision:
High-impact innovation hubs shaping global product and technology roadmaps.
Centers that go beyond support functions to drive core engineering and platform development.
Sustainable, scalable ecosystems that nurture world-class MedTech talent.
Capability centers that directly influence patient outcomes worldwide.
At its core, the ANSR MedTech Capability Center is about enabling innovation that touches lives at scale.

About R&D:
The R&D organization at ANSR MedTech is being built to support the development, testing, and long-term sustainment of complex, regulated products used at global scale.
This team plays a critical role in engineering excellence, product quality, and operational reliability, working closely with global R&D leaders to deliver against well-defined technical standards, quality systems, and product outcomes.
Unlike a traditional offshore or support model, R&D in India is designed to take on meaningful ownership across the product lifecycle, particularly in areas where scale, focus, and execution discipline are essential.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out:
Work on real, production grade products that require high engineering rigor, reliability, and regulatory discipline.
Be part of a team that spans embedded software, mobile applications, systems engineering, test automation, and lifecycle engineering.
Contribute to end-to-end R&D workflows—from development and verification through sustaining engineering and triage.
Help build and scale a new R&D capability from the ground up, shaping labs, automation, ways of working, and quality culture.
Partner directly with senior global R&D leaders and engineers, gaining exposure to how products are built and operated at enterprise scale.

How the R&D Team Operates:
Teams are based in India and embedded in day-to-day delivery, not isolated support functions.
Technical direction, quality standards, and product outcomes are globally aligned, with strong local execution and accountability.
The organization is built under a Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) model with ANSR, with responsibilities expanding as the site matures.
Success is measured by engineering quality, predictable delivery, adherence to quality systems, reduced defects over time, and strong collaboration with global R&D teams.

Job Summary:
The Manager, Systems Automation, will play a key role in the technical design and development of ANSR MedTech Capability Center’s products by supporting all phases of the Design Verification process. This individual will be responsible for leading a team of SDETs and overseeing the support, development, and execution of systems automation across multiple initiatives. The person in this position will be required to manage automation test resources (both technical and human) and balance the competing needs of the various projects for completion on time and budget while maintaining focus on ensuring the highest quality of the product under test. This person will also be responsible for contributing to the high-level technical planning for each project and orchestration of their interactions from a Design Verification perspective.
The Position will report to the Systems Automation department head, within the Systems Engineering COE.

Key Responsibilities:
Develop, validate and release and automated test framework for the execution of system level Design Verification leveraging existing frameworks and industry best practice.
Build and lead a team of SDETs responsible for authoring, maintaining, and executing automated system level test suites as part of Systems Automation initiatives required to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our features and products.
Plan, Prepare and Execute Automated System Level Test for assigned projects informally during development and formally during System Design Verification.
Develop, integrate, and maintain tools and methods for efficient and effective conduct, analysis, and management of automated testing during System Design Verification.
Drive continuous optimizations in automated test processes and content to increase test coverage while improving both quality and efficiency of testing.
Leverage risk-based analysis and statistical methods to minimize testing time and sample sizes while maximizing test efficacy.
Lead both hiring and staffing decisions to help improve team effectiveness while working with project managers and stakeholders to determine specific project needs.
Lead recruitment and interview activities that fill gaps in functional and operational capabilities.
Build more effective teams by conducting periodic evaluations and help to train new staff members.

Qualifications:
Automated test experience: Demonstrated experience in developing, integrating, validating, executing, and optimizing test automation frameworks for formal verification in a medical device development environment.
Team Leadership: A proven track recording both building and leading small self-directed teams.
Time and schedule management: A practical understanding of managing competing and concurrent tasks/projects along with excellent time and project management skills.
Conflict Resolution: Able to maintain group cohesion and cooperation and able to resolve conflicts and re-align priorities
Problem-Solving: Rich set of problem-solving skills included both structured and unstructured methodologies along with an ability to devise creative solutions
Communication: Strong written and verbal communicator, ability to communicate with both team members and stakeholders throughout project life cycles.

Education and Experience:
B.S. or higher degree in an Engineering or related field
7 years of experience in the Medical Device Industry
M.S. in engineering, related field or engineering management considered a plus.
Strong understanding of Design Controls and their implication for V&V testing.
