Job description

Join us in pioneering breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. Sustainably.

Our inspiring and caring environment forms a global community that celebrates diversity and individuality. We encourage you to step beyond your comfort zone, offering resources and flexibility to foster your professional and personal growth, all while valuing your unique contributions.

Lead the BGM Subsystem Engineering team responsible for subsystem architecture and integration, servo-control algorithms, requirements, verification and validation, structured problem solving, technical project execution, and lifecycle stewardship for complex radiation therapy products. This role provides cross-functional technical leadership across engineering, manufacturing, quality, service, supply chain, and external suppliers within a regulated product-development environment.

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to manage the Subsystem Engineering team within our Beam Generation & Monitoring (BGM) Group. The team serves as the technical integrator for the Radiation Producing subsystem and is responsible for subsystem architecture, servo-control algorithms, requirements and specifications management, verification, technical problem resolution, project execution, and lifecycle stewardship. It also provides the primary integration interface among product groups, functional engineering teams, manufacturing, quality, service, and supply chain organizations.

The successful candidate will combine strong engineering expertise with a demonstrated ability to lead technical teams, coordinate cross-functional activities, and drive execution in a complex product environment. The role requires broad knowledge of servo-control algorithms, microwave engineering, radiation physics, high-voltage pulsed-power engineering, thermal and materials science, and general electrical and mechanical design principles. This knowledge must be supported by hands‑on experience in system‑level design, troubleshooting, and structured problem solving. Experience delivering products in a regulated environment and familiarity with product lifecycle management are also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Align priorities, resources, and technical objectives with business and product needs.
• Foster accountability, collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.

System Integration & Technical Leadership

• Own BGM subsystem engineering across new product development and continuing engineering. Support sustaining engineering activities.
• Lead development and improvement of BGM servo, control, and interlock algorithms.
• Lead subsystem integration of hardware, firmware, software, controls, and interfaces.
• Align subsystem architecture with product requirements and system objectives.
• Resolve complex cross-functional issues affecting performance, reliability, manufacturability, or serviceability.

Requirements, Specifications & Validation

• Oversee component and interface requirements and specifications.
• Support design reviews and risk assessments.
• Support subsystem testing and verification.
• Ensure rigorous investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective actions.

Technical Operations & Cross-Functional Liaison

• Direct resolution of QSR-related technical concerns.
• Connect stakeholders with the appropriate BGM subject matter experts.
• Represent BGM across product groups and cross-functional teams.

Situational Awareness

• Monitor field reliability, including interlock trends, component survival, and Pareto analyses.
• Prioritize reliability improvements using data.
• Partner with supply chain teams to identify sourcing and obsolescence risks.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Master’s or doctoral degree in systems engineering, physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• At least five years of people-management and leadership experience.
• At least eight years of engineering experience developing complex technical systems.
• Strong background in systems engineering, subsystem integration, and product development.
• Experience with medical devices, radiation therapy systems, accelerators, high-voltage systems, industrial equipment, or other regulated products.
• Familiarity with system risk management, reliability engineering, and regulated product-development processes.
