Careers that Change Lives
Companion Medical is a dynamic San Diego-based startup committed to radically improving the way people with diabetes manage their insulin using multiple daily injections. For a variety of reasons, over 90% of people with diabetes use multiple daily injections. In December 2017, Companion launched the InPen system, a superior, cost-effective solution for users of MDI that combines the smarts of a pump with the benefits of a pen.

We were acquired by Medtronic in September 2020 and have an ambitious roadmap ahead to combine our technology with Medtronic's systems to help millions of patients around the world.

As a Principal Software Development Engineer in Test, you will develop test automation infrastructure for mobile applications.

The best candidates will be 'engineers. That is, critical thinkers who solve problems efficiently, pragmatically and continually seek information from all sources. Strong relationship skills are a must, as is excellent verbal and written communication.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your best technical innovation, problem solving and leadership skills to improving how people live their lives every day. Software Testing "IS" engineering, and it's and is a hard, fun problem to solve.

  • Mentor other SDETs in the use of best practices in testing and test automation
  • Lead efforts to make the development process and automated tests environments more efficient
  • Author detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured test plans in support of new products and features
