Description

• Perform the activities associated with the systems engineering of one or more products in various stages of the product lifecycle from new product development to post-market surveillance
• Understand clinical and user needs and apply them to product realization
• Capture inputs for requirements from various sources such as user needs, regulatory standards, human factors, quality, manufacturing, service, etc.
• Use knowledge of technology, process, and/or therapy domains to drive solutions and product design realization from a systems perspective
• Craft design concepts and research methodologies that best meet current and future customer / business needs for a product or process domain area
• Create and maintain design history file elements
• Facilitate an improved understanding of the interrelationship between requirements, risk and reliability
• Anticipate technical challenges and risk scenarios and prepare, lead, and execute mitigation strategies to ensure optimal results
• Resolve systems-related technical issues by applying problem-solving tools such as cause-and-effect diagrams, Pareto charts, etc.
• Propose and drive solutions to technical problems that are ambiguous and diverse in scope
• Perform impact assessments on the requirements on an ongoing basis for any proposed design / material / process changes or observations from field / service / manufacturing. As needed, propose recommended mitigations with rationale.
• Influence stakeholders and cross-functional team members within the project
• Drive adherence to FDA, ISO and IEC design control procedures, regulations and standards
• Use various software tools and programs to complete the above responsibilities
