  • Partner with Product Management, Software Engineering, Architecture, Verification, Quality, Regulatory, Human Factors, Cybersecurity, Clinical, Data Platform, and partner-integration teams throughout the lifecycle.
  • Contribute to system hazard analysis, software risk assessment, and interface-risk evaluation. Define and trace risk-control requirements consistent with ISO 14971 principles.
  • Support verification planning, acceptance-criteria development, defect and field-issue investigations, sustaining changes, and release impact assessments.
  • Drive technical reviews, resolve ambiguity, document assumptions and decisions, and align stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Mentor engineers on requirements quality, traceability, interfaces, architecture thinking, and regulated Systems Engineering practices.

Experience Requirements:
  • 8+ years in Systems Engineering or requirements engineering for software-intensive products, including direct authorship for mobile/front-end and backend/API/cloud services.

  • Hands-on requirements management and end-to-end traceability using Jama Connect or equivalent (DOORS, Polarion, Codebeamer), including linkage to design, risk controls, and verification evidence.
  • Experience with iOS, Android, watch, and web applications preferred, plus understanding of APIs, SDKs, cloud, backend services, and platforms.
  • Strong systems thinking, communication, and collaboration skills across product, engineering, test, regulatory, and quality teams.
  • Preferred experience with regulated environments such as medical devices, digital health, SaMD, and familiarity with IEC 62304 and ISO 14971.
  • Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, risk management tools, verification tools, GitHub, and Agile artifacts.

Education Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree strongly expected in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline. Master’s degree preferred.
