ATL Technology, LLC

About The Position

POSITION SUMMARY: The Global Program Engineer (GPE) – Imaging will be the technical authority of global programs. They will be familiar with ATL’s internal competencies and the customer market base so they can make relevant technical recommendations to both site development teams and external customers. They will be accountable to ensure the voice of customer (VOC) and design integrity is maintained throughout the design and development cycle. They will support the sites’ technical progress, be a key stakeholder in technical reviews, and serve as the main technical point of contact (POC) for customer interactions. This role requires the GPE to guide the technical team through the development lifecycle from prototype to full qualification on one or more concurrent projects. This position will also have responsibilities for imaging expertise within the business. They will grow into being the primary point of contact within the ATL for imaging pipeline development programs. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead/guide the customer technical team with designs that achieve the customer's goals while considering project scope, schedule, budget and ATL's best interests. Understand FDA and world regulatory body requirements for medical devices Comply with company, quality, and safety standards, policies, and procedures Technical authority for manufacturing transfer of complex components, subassemblies and finished medical devices in conjunction with program management Support and review of technical activities across different functional groups to ensure successful completion of project goals and milestones Proactively anticipates technical project risks and issues, and carefully formulates and implements risk mitigations and corrective/preventive actions Supports project team in establishing and maintaining product requirements and test plans Lead the end-to-end architecture of camera systems, including sensors, illumination, A/D conversion, transmission interfaces, and embedded ISP. Own system-level understanding of ISP, compression, encoding, and display pipelines to guide internal decisions and external development partners. Supports program management in appropriate resource allocation to meet program goals and milestones May work with Business Unit Leaders (BUL) for new competency development and harmonization across engineering sites Technical approver in program reviews with internal leadership, customers (as needed), and be able to communicate program status, technical needs and dependencies concisely and effectively Establish communication and reporting mechanisms for efficient global communications and accountability regarding any technical matters in a project. Support in proposal preparation, developing estimates and soliciting and reviewing inputs from cross-functional teams Hands‑on problem solver who can support engineers and technicians when needed, while primarily operating as a senior technical decision‑maker and escalation point.
