You will help translate user and clinical needs into system architecture and requirements, define interfaces across electrical, mechanical, and software disciplines, and guide the product from requirements development through integration and verification.

This role requires a highly collaborative engineer who can bring together input from multiple technical disciplines and maintain a system-level view throughout development.

What You Will Do

Systems Engineering

• •Own systems engineering activities for robotic end effectors and related electromechanical subsystems.
• •Translate user, clinical, and product needs into clear, verifiable system requirements and design inputs.
• •Develop and refine system architectures, interfaces, and functional requirements across electrical, mechanical, software, and controls disciplines.
• •Allocate and decompose system requirements to appropriate subsystems and engineering disciplines.
• •Lead technical trade studies, design assessments, performance analyses, and other systems engineering activities used to guide design decisions.
• •Support concept development and architecture definition for new end effectors, features, and product capabilities.

Requirements, Integration, and Verification

• •Establish and maintain requirements traceability throughout the product development lifecycle.
• •Develop system-level verification strategies and ensure requirements can be objectively verified.
• •Lead system integration activities across multiple engineering disciplines.
• •Investigate and help resolve complex system-level design and integration issues.
• •Lead or support system verification and validation activities as development progresses.
• •Contribute to product risk management and ensure appropriate linkage between risks, requirements, mitigations, and verification evidence.
• •Create and maintain engineering documentation supporting the Design History File.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• •Collaborate with Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Systems, Clinical, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and other stakeholders to ensure successful system development.
• •Support Voice of Customer activities and translate clinical workflows and customer needs into actionable engineering inputs.
• •Mentor engineers in systems engineering, requirements development, design controls, risk management, and verification practices.
• •Identify and implement improvements to systems engineering processes, tools, and practices.

What You Will Need

Minimum Qualifications

• •Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• •4+ years of applicable engineering experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• •Experience developing or managing system requirements for complex products.
• •Experience working across multiple engineering disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, software, systems, or test.
• •Experience developing medical devices or other complex regulated products.
• •Experience with systems architecture, requirements development, decomposition, interface definition, integration, and verification.
• •Experience translating user or customer needs into system-level design inputs and requirements.
• •Experience developing verification strategies and supporting system integration and testing.
• •Experience with robotic systems, powered surgical tools, power tools, or other precision electromechanical products.
• •Experience with requirements management tools such as Jama, IBM DOORS, or equivalent.
• •Working knowledge of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, design controls, and medical device development practices.
• •INCOSE CSEP certification or equivalent systems engineering certification.
• •Strong communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to influence across technical disciplines.
