Edwards Lifesciences is expanding its global technology capabilities with the launch of a new IT Innovation Hub in Pune, India. The Hub strengthens the technology foundation that supports our business worldwide, working in close partnership with teams across regions to deliver reliable, high-quality solutions at scale.
Designed as a long-term investment, the Pune Hub will advance newer digital capabilities such as automation, data, AI, and cloud, and will include roles spanning end user services, application development, and enterprise platform teams.
Together, these teams will help Edwards operate more efficiently and accelerate innovation in support of our mission of advancing patient care.
We are a global enterprise organization managing complex systems across multiple business units. As we advance our application strategy and establish our IT Innovation Hub in Pune, India, we are seeking Software Development Engineers in Test (SDET) to strengthen our enterprise test automation capability as part of our global IT transformation and India Technology Hub strategy. This role is ideal for CDAC graduates who have a strong engineering mindset, solid programming fundamentals, and an interest in building scalable, maintainable automation solutions rather than manual test execution. The SDET will work closely with product teams, platform engineers, and business stakeholders to ensure quality, reliability, and regression safety across complex enterprise systems.
How you’ll make an impact:
Test Automation Engineering
•Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks for enterprise applications.
•Build API-level, integration-level, and workflow-level automated tests.
•Contribute to regression automation suites that support frequent releases.
•Implement automation using engineering best practices (reusability, modularity, maintainability).
Test Design & Analysis
•Analyze business requirements, user stories, and system workflows to derive effective test scenarios.
•Translate functional and non-functional requirements into robust automated test cases.
•Identify edge cases, boundary conditions, and integration risks.
Quality Engineering Practices
•Participate in code reviews, test reviews, and defect root-cause analysis.
•Collaborate with development teams to ensure early detection of quality issues.
•Support continuous testing as part of CI/CD pipelines.
Collaboration & Growth
•Work with global teams in the US and Asia, following defined engineering standards.
•Learn and adopt enterprise tools, platforms, and testing methodologies.
Continuously improve test coverage, execution speed, and reliability.
What you’ll need (Required):
Education
•CDAC graduate from one of the following programs:
oPG-DAC (preferred)
oCCST
oPG-DITISS / PG-DAI (selective, based on fit)
•Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent technical discipline.
Core Technical Skills
•Strong fundamentals in programming (Java, Python, or similar object-oriented language).
•Understanding of data structures, control flows, and basic algorithms.
•Knowledge of software testing concepts, including:
o Functional testing
o Regression testing
o Integration testing
oDefect lifecycle
Automation Foundations
•Exposure to at least one automation approach:
oUI automation (e.g., Selenium, Playwright)
oAPI testing (REST concepts, JSON, HTTP methods)
•Ability to write clean, structured, and readable test code.
Systems & Application Understanding
•Basic understanding of:
oWeb applications and APIs
oDatabases (SQL fundamentals)
oClient–server architecture
•Ability to reason about end-to-end system workflows.
What else we look for (Preferred):
•Experience with test automation frameworks or custom test utilities. (i.e., Tricentis Tosca)
•Familiarity with:
oCI/CD pipelines (Git, Jenkins, GitLab, etc.)
oAPI testing tools
oData-driven and keyword-driven automation concepts
•Understanding of enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, or large transactional systems).
•Prior exposure to:
oMicroservices architecture
oCloud-based applications
•Strong documentation and communication skills.
What We Look For (Behavioral & Mindset)
•Engineering mindset – thinks in terms of systems, not just test cases.
•Attention to detail with a quality-first attitude.
•Ability to learn quickly and adapt to enterprise environments.
•Willingness to take ownership of automation assets long-term.
•Comfortable working within defined standards and best practices.
•Collaborative and professional communication style.
Career Growth & Learning
•Structured onboarding into enterprise platforms and testing practices.
•Hands-on exposure to large-scale, mission-critical systems.
•Opportunity to grow into:
oSenior SDET
oAutomation Lead
oPlatform / Integration QA roles
•Continuous learning through mentoring and real production challenges.
