Job description

Job Description Summary

The Sr Engineer - Systems Architecture and Design is a senior technical role within PCS Hardware Platforms, providing shared systems-design leadership for Common OS and Common UI platform releases. The role ensures that both platforms meet system and product needs, comply with applicable medical-device standards and internal quality-system requirements, and are released with appropriate quality, traceability, risk controls, and technical evidence.

The role aligns subsystem requirements, architecture, interfaces, design controls, verification strategies, technical reviews, release evidence and lifecycle decisions across Common OS and Common UI. The Sr Engineer works with System Architects, Product Owners, platform and component architects, verification leaders, cybersecurity, quality, regulatory, program teams and consuming product teams. The position coordinates cross-platform dependencies, compatible baselines, integration milestones, product adoption, and consolidated release readiness. The role requires strong systems thinking, embedded software and Linux platform knowledge, reusable UI platform understanding, medical-device development rigor, and the ability to lead complex technical work through influence.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Own subsystem requirement definitions derived from system requirements, user needs, intended use, and platform strategy; ensure flow-down to design outputs, component requirements, interfaces, and verification evidence.


• Provide shared systems-design leadership for coordinated Common OS and Common UI releases, including joint planning, dependency management, integration milestones, readiness reviews, and release decisions.


• Lead system decomposition, interface definition, architecture-to-requirement traceability, critical-to-quality attributes, non-functional requirements, and documented technical trade-offs.


• Balance safety, security, privacy, usability, performance, reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, cost, reuse, and lifecycle sustainability.


• Own the subsystem Design History File strategy and ensure completeness, consistency, traceability, and audit readiness of engineering evidence.


• Define subsystem verification strategies and ensure bidirectional traceability among requirements, risks, verification methods, results, anomalies, and release decisions.


• Ensure subsystem and component Technical Design Review strategies align with system plans and the needs of Common OS and Common UI.


• Lead product and subsystem risk profiling based on intended use, safety, privacy, and cybersecurity; drive FMEA, FTA, risk-benefit analysis, and risk-control traceability.


• Define and monitor platform-health metrics covering quality, reliability, cybersecurity, defect trends, performance, technical debt, obsolescence, and adoption.


• Review product-to-platform and Common OS-to-Common UI interface requirements; maintain clear interface ownership, compatibility expectations, and supported version combinations.


• Drive integrated validation with product teams, including interface, compatibility, performance, upgrade, failure-recovery, cybersecurity, and regression considerations.


• Establish integrated Common OS and Common UI release-readiness reviews covering dependencies, risks, verification evidence, deviations, known limitations, and product-consumption readiness.


• Coordinate defect triage and technical decisions for issues crossing operating system, UI framework, middleware, application, hardware, or product boundaries.


• Conceptualize and drive proofs of concept for new platform capabilities and influence Common OS, Common UI, process, and engineering-tool roadmaps.


• Mentor engineers and emerging system designers in systems engineering, design controls, risk management, technical reviews, and evidence-based decision making.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related STEM discipline.


• Typically 10+ years of engineering experience, including substantial experience in systems architecture and design, embedded software, platform engineering, or medical-device development.


• Demonstrated experience translating system and product needs into subsystem requirements, interfaces, design outputs, verification strategies, and traceable release evidence.


• Experience with regulated product development, design controls, risk management, quality systems, and cross-functional technical reviews.


• Technical depth in embedded Linux architecture and development, middleware or application architecture, cybersecurity, reusable platform technologies, and Qt/QML application development.


• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as C or C++, with scripting experience using Python and or shell.


• Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple teams, products, sites, or business stakeholders through infl
