JOB TITLE: Sr. Systems Engineer
The Sr. Systems Engineer joins the New Product Development team to lead systems engineering activities for radiation therapy equipment. This role involves translating stakeholder inputs into system requirements, developing architecture, and performing functional decomposition. The engineer will de-risk technical decisions through prototyping, manage interfaces across electrical, mechanical, software, and firmware subsystems, and drive complex electromechanical product development from concept through design transfer. Key responsibilities include maintaining bidirectional traceability, performing risk analysis like FMEA, and defining verification strategies. Required skills include experience with multidisciplinary hardware, software, and embedded systems, alongside proficiency in requirements management tools like JAMA. The role requires working knowledge of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, IEC 62304, and IEC 62366-1 within the context of safety-critical, real-time medical devices and radiation oncology systems.
