Job Description
We are seeking an exceptional Systems Engineering Manager with a background in electrical engineering and a deep, practical understanding of medical device safety standards, particularly IEC 60601-1 and its collateral standards. This critical role will not only be responsible for architecting and ensuring the electrical safety and performance of our advanced medical devices but also for translating complex technical concepts into clear, understandable language for diverse audiences, including clinical users, regulatory bodies, and internal stakeholders without an engineering background. The ideal candidate will be a strong technical leader and an outstanding communicator who can bridge the gap between highly technical engineering details and broader organizational understanding. Essential Job Duties System Architecture & Design (Hardware and System Focus) Lead the definition and decomposition of detailed system requirements, ensuring traceability to user needs, product specifications, and global regulatory standards. Architect and optimize electrical systems, including power distribution, signal integrity, sensor interfaces, control systems, and user interface elements, in close collaboration with mechanical, software, and clinical engineering teams. Drive robust design decisions that balance performance, reliability, cost, manufacturability, and long-term serviceability. Technical Communication & Explanation Articulate highly technical electrical and safety concepts clearly and concisely to non-technical audiences, including marketing, sales, clinical specialists, regulatory affairs, and senior management. Develop simplified explanations, diagrams, and presentations to convey complex electrical design rationale, safety measures, and compliance strategies. Represent the engineering team in cross-functional meetings, regulatory audits, and discussions with external partners, ensuring transparent and understandable communication. Prepare clear and compelling technical reports, white papers, and documentation that can be understood by various stakeholders. IEC 60601-1 Compliance & Electrical Safety SME Act as the company's leading subject matter expert (SME) on IEC 60601-1 (General requirements for basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment) and its associated collateral standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1-2 for EMC, IEC 60601-1-6 for Usability, and other particular standards). Proactively embed IEC 60601-1 compliance into electrical designs from the earliest concept stages through to final product verification. Define, oversee, and interpret results from electrical safety testing protocols (e.g., leakage current, dielectric strength, protective earthing, creepage and clearance distances, insulation coordination). Collaborate with external test houses and Notified Bodies to facilitate smooth safety and EMC testing for global product certifications. Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation, including technical reports, compliance matrices, and risk management files (per ISO 14971) related to electrical safety. Cross-Functional Leadership & Mentorship: Act as a key technical leader, fostering strong collaboration across all engineering disciplines and functional groups (Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, Clinical). Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior electrical and systems engineers, promoting best practices in design, safety, and documentation. Continuous Learning & Improvement: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of evolving medical device regulations, industry standards (especially for electrical safety and EMC), and emerging systems engineering technologies. Proactively identify and champion opportunities for process improvement within the systems and hardware engineering functions.
