This is a principal-level role, responsible for defining multi-year test strategies, advancing automation frameworks, and ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards.
You will drive enterprise-level test architecture, collaborating with system architects, project architects, and development leaders to embed best-in-class test methodologies.

Your role:
  • Develop and own the long-term strategic vision for test architecture, automation frameworks, and validation processes across IGT Systems.
  • Ensure alignment between verification & validation strategies and Philips broader business objectives.
  • Define and drive the adoption of cutting-edge test methodologies, leveraging automation, AI-driven testing, and risk-based validation.
  • Collaborate closely with system architects, development cluster managers, and regulatory specialists to optimize testing across global R&D sites (Netherlands, China, and India).
  • Lead the harmonization of test processes across multiple product lines, ensuring scalability, efficiency, and compliance with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820.
  • Act as a senior advisor to leadership on test strategy, influencing investment decisions in test infrastructure and automation capabilities.
  • Mentor and guide test architects and engineering teams to elevate test excellence across the organization
Youre the Right Fit If You Have
  • M.Sc. in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in test architecture, system verification, or quality assurance within complex, regulated industries (e.g., medical devices, automotive, aerospace).
  • Expertise in enterprise-level test strategy development, with a proven track record of implementing large-scale automation frameworks.
  • Deep regulatory knowledge (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, FDA regulations) and experience in embedding compliance into test processes.
  • Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and influencing skills, with experience engaging with senior technical leaders and business executives.
  • Advanced ISEB/ISTQB certification and hands-on experience with industry-standard test tools and methodologies.
