Our portfolio of life-changing technologies spans the spectrum of healthcare, with leading businesses and products in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic medicines. Our 114,000 colleagues serve people in more than 160 countries.       JOB DESCRIPTION: Job Title Manager, Test Engineering (QA Engineering Manager) Overview We are seeking a Manager of Test Engineering to lead and mature our Quality Engineering function across multiple agile delivery teams supporting regulated clinical and operational systems. This role is responsible for transforming QA from a validation- and documentation-heavy function into a modern, risk-focused test engineering practice with strong automation, observability, and CI/CD integration while maintaining compliance with regulated SDLC expectations. This manager will lead a team of test engineers, partner closely with engineering, product, platform, and validation teams, and play a critical role in improving overall software quality, release confidence, and delivery predictability. Key Responsibilities People & Team Leadership · Lead, coach, and develop a growing team of Test Engineers and QA professionals. · Support the transition of team members from business analysis / manual testing backgrounds into strong test engineers. · Establish clear role expectations, growth paths, and skill development plans. · Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Test Strategy & Quality Ownership · Define and own the overall test strategy across web applications, backend services, APIs, and data integrations. · Shift the organization toward risk-based testing and shift-left quality practices. · Ensure test coverage aligns with business risk and regulatory expectations, not just documentation compliance. · Partner with Product Owners to influence acceptance criteria, negative scenario testing, edge-case coverage, and definition of done. Automation & Tooling · Drive adoption and standardization of test automation across UI, API, and integration layers. · Oversee automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, REST/API testing, etc.) and ensure they are maintainable and scalable. · Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps experience preferred). · Collaborate with Platform Engineering on test infrastructure, environments, test data, and observability. Regulated SDLC & Validation Alignment · Ensure QA practices align with regulated development and validation requirements (e.g., SOPs, traceability, audit readiness). · Partner with Validation teams to define pragmatic, efficient testing and documentation approaches. · Support audit readiness by ensuring test evidence is accurate, accessible, and defensible. · Help modernize validation practices without sacrificing compliance. Metrics & Continuous Improvement · Define and track meaningful quality metrics (e.g., test coverage, defect trends, escaped defects, automation effectiveness). · Use data to inform leadership decisions and improvement initiatives. · Continuously evaluate and improve testing processes, tools, and workflows. Cross-Functional Collaboration · Work closely with Software Engineering Managers, Product Owners, Platform Engineering, and Operations. · Participate in release readiness, incident reviews, and post-release retrospectives. · Act as the primary advocate for quality across the engineering organization.

What Success Looks Like in This Role · QA is seen as a partner, not a gatekeeper. · Automated testing coverage increases measurably and sustainably. · Fewer production issues and hotfixes driven by test gaps. · Teams have higher confidence in releases. · Validation and audit activities are smoother, faster, and less reactive. · The test engineering team is growing in technical skill and influence.       The base pay for this position is $112,000.00 – $224,000.00 In specific locations, the pay range may vary from the range posted.       JOB FAMILY: Product Development       DIVISION: MD Medical Devices          LOCATION: United States > Sylmar : 15900 Valley View Court       ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS:       WORK SHIFT: Standard       TRAVEL: Yes, 5 % of the Time       MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE: No       SIGNIFICANT WORK ACTIVITIES: Continuous sitting for prolonged periods (more than 2 consecutive hours in an 8 hour day), Keyboard use (greater or equal to 50% of the workday)       Abbott is an Equal Opportunity Employer of Minorities/Women/Individuals with Disabilities/Protected Veterans.       EEO is the Law link - English: http://webstorage.abbott.com/common/External/EEO_English.pdf       EEO is the Law link - Espanol: http://webstorage.abbott.com/common/External/EEO_Spanish.pdf
