Job Overview: Sequel Med Tech is seeking an Associate Validation Engineer – Test Automation to join our growing Salesforce Engineering team. This early-career role is designed for a software professional with foundational knowledge of computer science or software development who will apply those skills to design, develop, analyze, and maintain automated test programs in a regulated GxP and medical device environment. You will spend most of your time writing code, and using AI-assisted development tools to write code, that automatically tests our Salesforce configurations and integrations.

- Design, write, and maintain automated test scripts and test suites that verify Salesforce configurations, workflows, and integrations against documented requirements.

- Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor and similar) to accelerate test development, while reviewing, understanding, and taking ownership of all generated code.

- Translate user and functional requirements into clear test cases, ensuring traceability and comprehensive test coverage.

- Execute automated and manual tests, analyze results, and document defects with clear, reproducible detail.

- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines so that testing runs consistently as part of the development and release process.

- Learn and apply Computer System Validation (CSV) and Computer Software Assurance (CSA) practices in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, and Sequel's quality procedures.

- Help prepare validation deliverables such as test plans, test protocols, traceability matrices, and summary reports under the direction of senior validation staff.
