Systems Design Lead for Flow Cytometry & Microfluidics

LIFE TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Thermo Fisher Scientific in Singapore is seeking a Staff Engineer, Systems Design to lead system-level design across microfluidics, acoustic, optical, and related domains for the Flow Cytometry platform. You will translate stakeholder needs into a coherent system solution and define performance criteria, architecture, and interfaces.

This hands-on role involves developing design intents, conducting feasibility and proof-of-concept testing, managing risk, and performing data analysis to support

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant engineering field.
• 5+ years of design, systems, or test engineering experience in new product development.
• Demonstrated understanding of systems engineering and system design, including requirements development, functional analysis, architecture, interface definition, design tradeoffs, and risk management.
• Strong systems thinking and analytical problem-solving skills with ability to translate functional intent into physical system design.
• Hands-on engineering capability including experimental design, troubleshooting, test-method development, data analysis, mathematics and statistics.
• Strong technical communication, stakeholder-management and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience with flow cytometry instrumentation is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Translate stakeholder and product needs into clear, feasible, testable, and traceable product and subsystem requirements; manage technical tradeoffs and change impacts.
• Define and maintain system architecture and design intent, including system boundaries, workflows, use cases, theory of operation, operating modes, and performance expectations.
• Perform functional analysis and decomposition, translating functional architecture into physical subsystem allocations and defining interfaces, dependencies, and critical performance characteristics.
• Evaluate system concepts and architecture alternatives through trade studies, feasibility studies, engineering analysis, and proof-of-concept testing.
• Maintain the technical risk register and drive risk-retirement activities using analysis, design changes, testing, and engineering evidence.
• Partner with the Systems Integrator to define integration strategy, interface expectations, technical dependencies, and readiness criteria, while providing system design intent and technical direction.
• Plan and perform hands-on engineering testing for concept evaluation, design characterization, requirements maturation, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and sustaining changes.
• Analyze engineering data using statistical and quantitative methods and translate results into clear technical conclusions and design recommendations.
• Lead cross-functional technical discussions and assess lifecycle changes for impact to requirements, architecture, interfaces, performance, risk, testability, and design intent.
