System Architect

Benefits

Additional Information

Job Description: The System Architect is a highly influential technical leader who will define the end-to-end system architecture and product vision for next-generation clinical solutions. In this role, you will transform unmet customer needs and emerging technologies into scalable, high-impact product designs-establishing the frameworks, requirements, and integration strategies that bring complex, multi-disciplinary systems to life. As a key driver of innovation, you will collaborate across engineering and cross-functional teams to turn bold ideas into reality-bridging vision with hands-on execution. You'll help shape transformative solutions that enable clinicians to see with greater clarity, work more ergonomically, and deliver more efficient, high-quality patient care. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Define system architecture and product direction Lead the definition of system architecture and product vision for complex, multi-disciplinary solutions. Translate customer needs, clinical workflows, and emerging technologies into clear system requirements and performance targets. Break down high-level concepts into actionable subsystem requirements with end-to-end traceability. Drive subsystem integration and interoperability Establish system boundaries, interfaces, and integration strategies to ensure seamless interoperability across electrical, mechanical, optical, and software domains. Lead architectural trade-off studies and make informed decisions that balance performance, cost, usability, and scalability. Identify and proactively mitigate system-level risks, dependencies, and integration challenges. Lead hands-on system design and rapid prototyping Build and guide rapid prototypes to validate architecture, de-risk key technologies, and accelerate learning. Define and evaluate system performance across critical dimensions such as responsiveness, accuracy, reliability, and user experience. Stay close to the hardware and software-leading from the front during integration, debug, and iteration cycles. Provide technical leadership and execution discipline Lead and mentor a cross-functional team of engineers, fostering strong system thinking and engineering rigor. Operate within an Agile development model-driving sprint planning, prioritization, and incremental delivery of working solutions. Facilitate design and architecture reviews that promote alignment, clarity, and high-quality decision-making. Collaborate across the organization Partner closely with Product Management, Clinical/Voice-of-Customer teams, Quality/Regulatory, Manufacturing, and external partners. Ensure solutions are not only innovative, but also feasible, manufacturable, and scalable. Support the transition from concept through development into validation and production. Job Requirements: Required: Bachelor's degree in a technical field (e.g., Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or similar). 15+ years of experience designing and developing complex products that integrate multiple engineering disciplines. 5+ years of system-level architecture experience, including ownership of system design, subsystem definition, and integration. Proven track record of bringing innovative products from concept through development and into market. Willingness to travel 10-15% to support ideation, voice-of-customer, and supplier development activities. Preferred: Experience with products that require tight integration of hardware and software. Experience with wearable, head-mounted, or ergonomics-driven product design. Experience in regulated industries (medical device preferred). Systems thinker at your core: You naturally connect the dots across disciplines and understand how decisions at one level impact the entire system. Deep technical breadth: Strong experience across electro-mechanical systems, optics, and software-enabled products. Architectural leadership: You bring structure to ambiguity-defining clear architectures, interfaces, and design frameworks that teams can execute against. Bias for action: You move quickly from concept to prototype, using rapid iteration to learn, refine, and improve. Agile mindset: Comfortable working in sprint-based environments, breaking complex problems into manageable increments that deliver real progress. Influence and leadership: You lead through expertise and clarity, aligning teams and driving decisions without formal authority when needed. Strong communicator: You can clearly articulate complex technical concepts to engineers, cross-functional teams, and leadership. Customer-focused: You are motivated by solving real-world problems and creating solutions that meaningfully improve user outcomes. Comfortable working in a hands-on prototyping and lab environment. Ability to handle sensitive information with professionalism and discretion. #LI-BS1 IND123 Target Market Salary Range: Actual compensation
