About my mhealth
my mhealth is a UK-based digital therapeutics company delivering clinically validated software for the management of long-term conditions including COPD, asthma, diabetes, and heart disease. We work with over 200 providers across the NHS in England, Scotland, Wales, and internationally. We operate as a regulated medical device manufacturer under ISO 13485:2016, the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (as amended), and IEC 62304. We are a fully remote organisation.
We are hiring directly for this role and not using agencies. Experience in or around a medical device or regulated software environment is a genuine advantage, but we are equally open to candidates coming straight from a strong academic background who can demonstrate the right mindset and drive.
About the Role
This is a graduate or postgraduate role for someone who wants to get stuck in to software testing from day one and build a career in QA engineering within a regulated medical device software company. You will join our Research and Development division, working alongside our engineering team to test, validate, and help ship software that is used by patients and clinicians across the NHS.
We are looking for someone with a strong technical foundation, ideally with some coding ability, who is curious about how software breaks and motivated to find out before it reaches production. You do not need experience of ISO standards or medical device regulation coming in. That knowledge will come with time. What matters is the right mindset: detail-oriented, methodical, and genuinely enthusiastic about quality as a craft.
Regulatory affairs and quality management will be a part of your role as you develop, but the primary focus to start with is testing. If you want to eventually grow into test automation and broader QA engineering, this is the place to do it.
What success looks like: Test evidence is complete and audit-ready. Quality records are accurate and up to date. You are asking the right questions, flagging issues early, and growing your regulatory knowledge every week.
What You Will Do
Day-to-day testing
* Execute manual test cases across the QA environment with rigour, documenting results completely and accurately
* Log defects in Jira with clear steps to reproduce, observed vs expected results, severity, and environment details
* Support regression testing ahead of releases and verify that fixes resolve the issue without introducing new failures
* Contribute to test planning and help write test cases under guidance from senior engineers
* Learn to produce test evidence to IEC 62304 standard, with a view to owning this over time
As you develop
* Begin contributing to test automation alongside the engineering team, using your coding skills to build repeatable, reliable test coverage
* Support quality documentation tasks within the QMS, including version control and maintaining controlled records
* Develop working knowledge of ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 compliance as it applies to your testing work
* Assist with audit preparation and evidence gathering as your understanding of the regulated environment grows
What We Are Looking For
Essential
* A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related discipline, or a postgraduate qualification in a relevant technical field
* Some coding ability, in any language; you do not need to be a developer but you need to be comfortable with code and want to do more of it
* Genuine enthusiasm for software quality and a natural instinct to find and understand how things break
* Methodical and detail-oriented; you find vague or incomplete documentation uncomfortable, not just inconvenient
* Clear written communication; able to produce structured, unambiguous records that stand on their own
* Experience with Jira or a comparable issue-tracking tool in any context
* Able to work independently and manage your own workload in a fully remote team
Nice to Have
* Any hands-on software testing experience, however gained: placement, internship, university project, or personal work
* Familiarity with test automation frameworks or an interest in learning them
* Any awareness of ISO 13485, IEC 62304, or regulated medical device environments, academic or professional
* Experience testing mobile applications on iOS or Android
* ISTQB Foundation, or a genuine interest in pursuing it
What We Offer
