Advance your career as a Sr Engineer in Systems Architecture and Design within PCS Hardware Platforms. This senior technical role is pivotal in providing shared systems-design leadership for Common OS and Common UI platform releases. Your expertise will ensure these platforms meet intricate system and product demands, adhere to stringent medical-device standards and internal quality-system requirements, and are delivered with exceptional quality, traceability, risk controls, and comprehensive technical evidence.

This position fosters alignment across subsystem requirements, architecture, interfaces, design controls, verification strategies, technical reviews, release evidence, and lifecycle decisions for both Common OS and Common UI. You will collaborate closely with System Architects, Product Owners, platform and component architects, verification leaders, cybersecurity experts, quality and regulatory teams, program managers, and consuming product teams.

Key responsibilities include coordinating cross-platform dependencies, maintaining compatible baselines, managing integration milestones, facilitating product adoption, and ensuring consolidated release readiness. Success in this role hinges on strong systems thinking, deep embedded software and Linux platform knowledge, a solid understanding of reusable UI platforms, rigorous adherence to medical-device development practices, and the ability to lead complex technical initiatives through effective influence.

Take ownership of subsystem requirement definitions, deriving them from system requirements, user needs, intended use, and platform strategy, ensuring accurate flow-down to design outputs, component requirements, interfaces, and verification evidence. Provide essential systems-design leadership for synchronized Common OS and Common UI releases, encompassing joint planning, dependency management, integration milestones, readiness reviews, and release decisions.

Lead system decomposition, interface definition, architecture-to-requirement traceability, identification of critical-to-quality attributes, and definition of non-functional requirements. Manage documented technical trade-offs, balancing safety, security, privacy, usability, performance, reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, cost, reuse, and lifecycle sustainability. Own the subsystem Design History File strategy, ensuring its completeness, consistency, traceability, and audit readiness of all engineering evidence.

Define subsystem verification strategies and maintain bidirectional traceability between requirements, risks, verification methods, results, anomalies, and release decisions. Ensure subsystem and component Technical Design Review strategies align with system plans and the specific needs of Common OS and Common UI. Lead product and subsystem risk profiling, driving FMEA, FTA, risk-benefit analysis, and risk-control traceability based on intended use, safety, privacy, and cybersecurity considerations.

Define and monitor crucial platform-health metrics, including quality, reliability, cybersecurity, defect trends, performance, technical debt, obsolescence, and adoption rates. Review product-to-platform and Common OS-to-Common UI interface requirements, maintaining clear interface ownership, compatibility expectations, and supported version combinations. Drive integrated validation with product teams, addressing interface, compatibility, performance, upgrade, failure-recovery, cybersecurity, and regression aspects.

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 complex issues spanning operating system, UI framework, middleware, application, hardware, or product boundaries. Conceptualize and drive proofs of concept for new platform capabilities, actively influencing Common OS, Common UI, process, and engineering-tool roadmaps. Mentor engineers and emerging system designers in advanced systems engineering, design controls, risk management, technical reviews, and evidence-based decision-making.

A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related STEM discipline is required. Typically, 10+ years of engineering experience is expected, including substantial expertise in systems architecture and design, embedded software, platform engineering, or medical-device development.

Demonstrated experience in translating system and product needs into precise subsystem requirements, defining interfaces, creating design outputs, establishing verification strategies, and generating traceable release evidence is essential. Experience with regulated product development, design controls, risk management, quality systems, and conducting cross-functional technical reviews is a prerequisite.

Possess strong technical depth in embedded Linux architecture and development, middleware or application architecture, cybersecurity principles, reusable platform technologies, and hands-on Qt/QML application development. Proficiency in at least one major programming language such as C or C++ is necessary, complemented by scripting experience using Python and/or shell. A proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple teams, products, sites, or business stakeholders through effective influence is critical for success in this role.
