Summary of the role

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, where your ideas and contributions will be valued and respected.

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities

·         Assess complex system and software challenges, determine root cause, and define practical technical solutions that improve reliability, performance, availability, cybersecurity, serviceability, and manufacturability.

·         Develop, review, and maintain system-level requirements, software requirements, architecture descriptions, interface definitions, control logic, design rationale, and related technical documentation.

·         Partner with software, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, service, and operations teams to define functional specifications and ensure software performs effectively as part of the overall product system.

·         Create and maintain system architecture using sound engineering practices, design control principles, risk-based decision making, and applicable company procedures.

·         Evaluate software interfaces, embedded control behavior, third-party device communication, user interface behavior, data handling, system alarms, and integration with electrical and mechanical subsystems.

·         Support software development planning and execution by helping define scope, technical approach, sequencing, dependencies, deliverables, estimates, risks, and development priorities.

·         Translate system needs into well-defined stories, acceptance criteria, and technical clarification that enable development teams to estimate, prioritize, implement, and verify work effectively.

·         Draft and review software test plans, verification protocols, and test evidence to improve coverage, robustness, traceability, risk alignment, and traced to approved requirements.

·         Analyze, review, and verify that system and software designs meet intended use, approved requirements, performance expectations, cybersecurity considerations, and applicable regulatory expectations.

·         Collaborate on issue investigations, complaint support, field/service feedback, manufacturing concerns, defect resolution, corrective actions, and continuous improvement activities involving software-controlled products.

·         Provide senior-level technical judgment for mission-critical systems, including recommendations that support high availability, maintainability, cybersecurity, product quality, and long-term platform sustainability.

·         Prepare and review engineering change documentation, risk inputs, traceability records, verification summaries, design review materials, investigation summaries, and other quality system documentation.

·         Ensure assigned work is completed in alignment with applicable quality system procedures, software lifecycle expectations, risk management practices, cybersecurity expectations, and regulated medical device requirements.

·         Actively support continuous improvement of engineering processes, documentation quality, team capability, and product robustness by identifying opportunities and sharing lessons learned.

·         Perform other duties as assigned.
