Senior Software Quality Engineer

About Hypervision Surgical

Hypervision Surgical ("Hypervision") is a spin‑out from King’s College London, founded by clinicians and experts in medical imaging and artificial intelligence. Using safe light alone, our mission is to equip surgeons with real‑time, AI‑driven tissue intelligence to improve precision and patient safety.

We are pioneering the world’s first regulatory‑cleared real‑time intraoperative spectral imaging platform, combining on‑chip spectral sensing with high‑speed AI analytics at over 60 frames per second. Seamlessly integrating into existing surgical vision systems, our technology transforms standard cameras into intelligent, data‑rich tools, revealing anatomical, physiological, and pathological information beyond human vision.

Certified for both open and minimally invasive surgery, our platform achieved UKCA certification and FDA clearance in 2025 under a newly established AI/ML product code, and was admitted into the FDA’s Safer Technology Program. With multi‑centre clinical evaluations underway and strategic partnerships with world‑leading technology and surgical manufacturers, including imec and ZEISS Ventures, Hypervision is shaping the future of data‑driven surgery.

We are seeking a Senior Software Quality Engineer to own and advance the quality engineering practice within our medical device software team. As our product matures and our release cadence grows, this role will bring rigour, automation, and structure to the way we test and release, and do it in a way that makes the team faster, not slower.

You will join a compact, highly skilled engineering team and work closely with the software engineering team, and alongside project management, quality assurance and integration testing colleagues, to ensure that every release is clearly scoped and documented, robustly tested, and delivered on time.

This is a role for someone who wants to build, not maintain, embedding strong regulatory‑compliant processes into our day‑to‑day development. You will have the opportunity to design and own the framework that connects R&D algorithm development to production software verification. You will drive integration and system‑level test automation into earlier stages of the development cycle, extend our existing CI/CD pipelines with broader coverage, explore ways to efficiently test using real‑world data, and create the dashboards and tooling that give the team and leadership visibility into quality and release status.

IEC 62304 Compliance & Process Ownership

• Champion IEC 62304‑compliant development practices across the software engineering team, embedding compliance into the way work is done
• Review and improve existing documentation release processes, with a remit to automate manual steps and ensure consistent quality across releases
• Maintain traceability between software requirements, design, test cases, and test evidence throughout the product lifecycle
• Ensure change control is applied correctly to software modifications, with appropriate impact assessment and re‑verification

R&D to Software Handover & Equivalence Testing

• Own the formal handover process between R&D algorithm development and production software implementation
• Define and implement an equivalence testing framework to verify R&D specifications are faithfully reproduced in product implementations

Software Anomaly Management

• Own the end‑to‑end software anomaly process: detection, triage, investigation, root cause analysis, resolution, and closure in the QMS
• Lead CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) activities for significant software defects, producing documented root cause analysis and validated resolution evidence
• Maintain anomaly records in a state that is always audit‑ready, with clear traceability from problem report through to verified fix

Test Automation & CI/CD Expansion

• Extend our existing CI/CD pipelines to incorporate industry‑standard automated quality gates, including…
