In my company: Developers do the unit test and QA do the automated functional regression tests in TestComplete. (And developers are responsible for the manual functional non-regression tests together with code-review).
You need some development knowledge to do the functional tests (I am far from a developer per se), but I also think you need to have some specific skills for this specific task, which developers will spend as much time to acquire as I have spent. In my company, I do not see that task can be split into a 'coding' part and a 'non-coding' part, where the 'non-coder' defines tests (e.g. in Excel) and the 'coder' writes the basic building blocks of these tests: it will just be running the same tests again and again, but with slightly different values. So based on my experience: have a dedicated person who is has at least basic coding capabilities, but is a QA more than a developer.
