Summary
In the Systems Engineer role, you will be supporting the overall technical direction of Acute Therapies' products. Based on your technical skills, you will drive various portions of the product development cycle at stages ranging from feasibility through lifecycle management. Tasks may include product requirements management, traceability, DHF structure & maintenance, product risk management, system integration, verification, and validation of medical devices.
What you'll be doing:
• Perform the activities associated with the systems engineering of one or more products in various stages of the product lifecycle from new product development to post-market surveillance
• Understand clinical and user needs and apply them to product realization
• Capture inputs for requirements from various sources such as user needs, regulatory standards, human factors, quality, manufacturing, service, etc.
• Use knowledge of technology, process, and/or therapy domains to drive solutions and product design realization from a systems perspective
• Craft design concepts and research methodologies that best meet current and future customer/business needs for a product or process domain area
• Create and maintain design history file elements
• Facilitate an improved understanding of the interrelationship between requirements, risk and reliability
• Anticipate technical challenges and risk scenarios and prepare, lead, and execute mitigation strategies to ensure optimal results
• Resolve systems-related technical issues by applying problem-solving tools such as cause-and-effect diagrams, Pareto charts, etc.
• Propose and drive solutions to technical problems that are ambiguous and diverse in scope
• Perform impact assessments on the requirements on an ongoing basis for any proposed design / material / process changes or observations from field / service / manufacturing. As needed, propose recommended mitigations with rationale.
• Influence stakeholders and cross-functional team members within the project
• Drive adherence to FDA, ISO and IEC design control procedures, regulations and standards
• Use various software tools and programs to complete the above responsibilities
What you'll bring:
• Prior experience in medical devices, preferably for intensive care unit (ICU) or kidney care domains
• Sound knowledge of systems engineering and related areas such as electro-mechanical and software engineering
• A track record in electro-mechanical system development, preferably in medical devices or other regulated products such as aerospace, automobile, or military
• Prior experience with internet-connected, software-enabled devices and/or cybersecurity
• Working knowledge of system modeling language (SysML or UML) and requirement management tools
• Knowledge of DOORS, Teamcenter, TrackWise8, JIRA, and ALM preferred
• Familiar with statistical methods/tools for design and verification, e.g. DOE, sample size
• Success in working with multi-functional, global teams
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and influencing skills
• Ability to work independently
• Ability to manage simultaneously several projects and shift priority according to needs
• Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to solve problems, develop solutions, and make recommendations in collaboration with project leaders
• Creative Problem Solver – identify technical risks up front, develop and execute mitigations and provide team direction on how to remove or avoid roadblocks
• Ability to deliver results according to the plan
• Candidates with an embedded software background are preferred.
• This role will support Acute Therapies, specifically the dialysis machines used in ICU settings.
• The individual should have a strong understanding of machine design and system functionality.
• Responsibilities include designing and sustaining both new and existing features for the machine and its software, as well as overall system design.
• Candidates must have experience working in regulated industries.
• A background in the medical field is highly preferred; however, experience in military, defense, or aviation industries will also be considered.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential. Familiarity with relevant software tools and technologies is preferred.
• Approximately two-thirds of the role will focus on new product development and design, while one-third will involve sustaining and supporting existing products.
Experience and/or Background:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Software, Mechanical, Biomedical, or a related engineering or science discipline
• Three or more years of relevant experience
Interview:
• 2 rounds of interview.
• Teams/ In-Person Interview.
