Job Purpose
The Senior Systems Engineer is technically responsible for both new product development and product sustenance activities.

As a key member of the R&D team, the Senior Systems Engineer will:
  • Play a leading role in defining and executing technology roadmaps, and in developing and optimizing engineering processes and tools to support long-term business goals.
  • Own the technical architecture, conduct feasibility assessments, and shape the development roadmap for assigned products, ensuring alignment with regulatory and performance requirements.
  • Maintain a understanding of emerging technologies, industry standards, and relevant toolsets, and provide strategic input on architectural and technological decisions to ensure competitiveness and sustainability.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
  • Specify and manage system requirements, including facilitation of user workshops.
  • Develop and maintain system architecture and design in alignment with user and stakeholder needs.
  • Generate engineering documentation suitable for handoff to downstream design and development teams.
  • Lead and support engineering governance activities, including Critical Design Reviews (CDRs).
  • Collaborate with V&V teams to support verification and validation, including defect triage and issue resolution.
  • Attend and contribute to project meetings, providing technical input, risk assessment, and continuous improvement opportunities.
  • Share knowledge and technical expertise across project teams and functional areas.
  • Monitor and interpret changes in regulatory standards to ensure design compliance with safety and performance criteria.
  • Conduct gap analyses against updated medical standards (e.g., IEC 60601).
  • Perform risk management activities (e.g., FMEA, hazard analysis) in accordance with ISO 14971.
  • Mitigate product and project risk through detailed system-level design reviews, early-phase risk analyses, and lean iterative techniques.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development and improvement of engineering processes and tools.
  • Participate in risk assessment activities to ensure compliant and systematic handling of product field findings within the systems engineering framework.
Management Responsibilities
None

Experience and Qualifications Required
Mandatory:
  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering or scientific discipline (e.g., biomedical, mechanical, systems, or electrical engineering).
  • Proven analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in high-reliability, life-supporting systems such as ventilators.
  • Demonstrated experience in translating risk management process standards (e.g., ISO 14971) into practical and compliant development methodologies for medical devices.
  • Proven ability to interpret and apply product-specific standards for basic safety and essential performance (e.g., IEC 60601-1) into robust system design solutions for ventilator platforms.
  • Background in core systems engineering disciplines: Requirements Management, Architecture Definition, System Design, Verification, Validation, Assurance, and Release.
  • Proficient in requirements engineering and risk analysis techniques across the full device lifecycle.
  • Understanding of the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle, as defined in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, within the context of regulated medical product development.
  • Comfortable working in cross-functional teams and across diverse projects, with the flexibility to adapt to rapidly evolving development priorities.
Desirable:
  • Proven experience working in cross-functional, multi-disciplinary development environments, collaborating across engineering, quality, regulatory, and clinical teams.
  • Background in research and development within regulated industries, preferably in the medical device sector under ISO 13485, IEC62304 and IEC 60601 compliance frameworks.
  • Solid understanding of real-time control systems, including control theory and practical implementation in embedded platforms.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a demonstrated ability to work effectively within team settings and a genuine enthusiasm for advancing technology.
