At Demant Diagnostics, we develop innovative hearing and balance solutions that improve quality of life for people around the world. As part of our global R&D organisation, you will play a key role in defining and managing system requirements, architecture, and verification activities across our product portfolio.

You will join a company where engineering excellence is valued, innovation is encouraged, and your contributions help bring advanced medical technologies to market in a highly regulated environment.

Get to know your new team and manager

You will report to Shailesh Patil, Manager of Systems Engineering, and become part of an international team of skilled systems engineers working closely with software, electronics, mechanics, test, usability, regulatory, and product management specialists. The R&D team includes about 100 professionals specializing in systems engineering, mechanics, electronics, and software, with locations in Denmark, Poland and Malaysia.

The Systems Engineering department supports several Diagnostics brands and contributes to the development of hearing diagnostics and balance assessment solutions. You will be joining a collaborative environment where knowledge sharing, professional development, and teamwork are central to how we work.

The position can be based at our Interacoustics headquarters in Middelfart or our Maico headquarters in Berlin, with flexibility to work from home when tasks allow.

About the role

We are seeking a skilled Systems Engineer to ensure that system-level requirements, system architecture are properly defined, managed & documented, throughout the project lifecycle and specialize in system verification planning, ensuring that all system components are thoroughly tested and meet quality standards. This role is critical for defining the boundary conditions and constraints in early stages of project development through well-determined systems requirements and architecture.

Drive systems engineering across the product lifecycle

As a Systems Engineer, you will help ensure that our products are built on a solid systems foundation, from understanding user and stakeholder needs through to verification and release. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to translate complex requirements into robust technical solutions and ensure that system-level decisions support product quality, compliance, and performance throughout the product and project lifecycles.

Your key responsibilities will amongst others be to:

• analyze user & stakeholder needs and flow down them to elicit, define & manage system requirements.
• define, develop and maintain system level architectural design for diagnostics device and solution platforms in collaboration with cross functional teams.
• develop and maintain requirements traceability matrices from requirements to test evidence and ensure requirements are testable, verifiable, and aligned with project objectives, collaborate with the test planning engineer to ensure requirements are adequately covered in test plans.
