Partner with project management, regulatory, quality, clinical, marketing, and product development teams to drive aligned technical decisions and successful delivery.
Apply systems thinking and independent judgment to solve complex technical problems and manage technical risk.
Support system and sub‑system integration, including defect tracking, configuration management, and interface management.
Provide key support to risk management activities, including system‑level hazard analysis and FMEA.
Plan, design, and analyze technical experiments, including characterization, prototyping, qualification, and design of experiments (DOE).
Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and systems engineers.
Support manufacturability, serviceability, and lifecycle considerations by collaborating with manufacturing and service teams.
Apply Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) principles to drive robust design, statistically sound testing, and data‑driven decision‑making.
Develop deep understanding of user needs, clinical workflows, and use environments, ensuring designs meet real‑world customer and patient needs.

About you

8+ years of experience in R&D engineering, with significant experience in medical devices, diagnostics, lab automation, or other regulated electro‑mechanical systems.
Demonstrated expertise in systems engineering principles, including requirements management, architecture development, integration, verification, and validation.
Hands‑on experience with requirements management tools such as Modern Requirements, Polarion, Jama, or DOORS.
Proven experience writing system‑level requirements and decomposing them across hardware, software, usability, and mechanical domains.
Strong experience developing and executing system‑level V&V protocols.
Solid knowledge of IEC 60601‑1 and relevant medical device standards.
Experience working on interdisciplinary systems, including electromechanical, software, and fluidic components.
Strong analytical skills, including data acquisition, statistical analysis, and DFSS methodologies.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience operating effectively in ambiguous, fast‑paced, and agile environments, bringing clarity and structure.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical complexity and influence decisions without formal authority.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts clearly to varied audiences.
