- Collaborate closely with software, algorithm, electronics, mechanical, verification, and clinical teams to develop integrated system solutions
- Lead and facilitate system-level risk management activities, hazard analysis, and the definition of appropriate safety controls
- Support and influence technical decision-making across multidisciplinary teams, helping balance technical, user, business, and regulatory considerations
- Drive resolution of complex technical issues through structured problem solving, root cause analysis, and collaboration with subject matter experts
- Support demonstration of product performance through evidence-based verification and validation activities
- Communicate technical progress, key decisions, risks, and recommendations to project teams, technical leaders, and senior stakeholders
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of systems engineering tools, processes, and ways of working across the organisation
- Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers, helping build systems engineering capability within the team
Let’s Talk About Qualifications and Experience
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics, Software, Biomedical, or a related Engineering discipline
- 5+ years of experience in systems, product development, or engineering roles, ideally within medical devices or other regulated industries
- Strong understanding of systems engineering practices, including requirements management, risk management, verification, validation, and traceability
- Experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical documentation skills
- Familiarity with medical device development processes, regulatory requirements, and quality management systems
Preferred
- Experience working with software-intensive or connected medical devices
- Familiarity with software and algorithm development, integration, and verification activities
- Experience with engineering development tools such as JIRA, Jama, Confluence, or similar platforms
- Experience mentoring engineers or providing technical leadership within project teams
You’ll Thrive Here If You...
- Enjoy solving complex technical problems at the system level
- Are comfortable working across disciplines and influencing without direct authority
- Can balance strategic thinking with delivery-focused execution
- Take ownership and help drive clarity in ambiguous situations
- Enjoy mentoring and supporting the growth of other engineers
- Are passionate about developing technologies that improve patient outcomes and user experiences
Culture Fit
We’re a cross-disciplinary team where expertise comes in many forms.
