Systems Engineer

The candidate will become part of an interdisciplinary team that includes microwave, electrical, mechanical, materials and servo algorithm engineers. This role is responsible for defining, managing, and verifying system requirements, solving technical system integration challenges, coordinating cross-functional technical activities, and ensuring successful integration of hardware, software, service and manufacturing considerations throughout the product lifecycle.

The successful candidate will serve as the technical focal point for assigned subsystems, working closely with product management, engineering, manufacturing, quality, and field service organizations. This position requires strong systems thinking, excellent communication and project management skills and the ability to drive technically complex issues to resolution in a multidisciplinary environment.

Responsibilities

• Define, maintain, and manage subsystem requirements, specifications, interfaces, and verification strategies.
• Lead system integration activities and drive resolution of complex technical issues across hardware, software, manufacturing, service, and supplier interfaces.
• Coordinate cross-functional technical efforts throughout the product lifecycle, from concept development through product release and sustaining engineering.
• Develop and execute system-level test plans, analyze results, and ensure traceability between requirements, design, and verification activities.
• Support product risk management activities, including root cause analysis, failure investigations, and implementation of corrective actions.
• Evaluate technical tradeoffs involving performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, quality, schedule, and cost.
• Drive technical projects and ensure alignment across engineering disciplines, suppliers, product management, manufacturing, quality, and field organizations.
• Communicate technical recommendations, decisions, and results effectively to stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

Qualifications

• BS, MS, or PhD in Systems Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Proven experience in system design, integration, verification, and troubleshooting of complex multidisciplinary products.
• Strong understanding of physics, electrical, mechanical, and control system fundamentals, with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
• Experience developing and managing system requirements, specifications, interfaces, and verification documentation.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and project management skills.
• Ability to lead technical discussions, influence cross-functional teams, and drive complex issues to resolution.
• Experience working with requirements management, issue tracking, and product lifecycle management tools.
• Experience in medical devices, radiation therapy systems, accelerators, high-voltage systems, industrial equipment, or other regulated products is preferred.
• Familiarity with system risk management, reliability engineering, and regulated product development processes is desirable.
• Experience collaborating with external suppliers is a plus.
