About The Position

The Verification Engineering Manager will lead a team responsible for verification planning, test strategy, execution, defect management, and compliance for complex medical device systems involving embedded software, firmware, and limited system-level integration. This role requires strong technical leadership, experience with regulated product development, and the ability to guide verification activities across the full product lifecycle, from requirements analysis through design verification, system integration, risk assessment, and release readiness. The ideal candidate requires extensive experience in embedded systems, software development, systems engineering, and medical device product development, with demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional teams and drive high-quality deliverables in a regulated environment. The position requires more than 15 years of experience across embedded systems, firmware, software development, and systems engineering, including more than 10 years in medical devices.

Requirements

Strong experience leading verification, systems engineering, software engineering, firmware engineering, or embedded systems teams in a regulated product development environment.
Demonstrated experience with embedded control systems, interfaces, software development, testing, and deployment
Experience with medical device development and regulated engineering practices.
Knowledge of medical device standards and regulations such as IEC 60601, ISO 13485, 21 CFR 820, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 62366, and AAPM-related practices.
Strong understanding of requirements management, requirements traceability, verification evidence, defect management, and design control documentation.
Experience with design reviews, risk assessment, system integration, architecture, and regulatory documentation
Experience leading multiple teams or cross-functional projects in new product development.
Strong debugging and troubleshooting capability for complex system issues involving hardware, embedded software, firmware, communication interfaces, and electromechanical subsystems.
Ability to communicate project status, risks, issues, and escalations clearly to project teams and senior leadership.
Strong leadership, coaching, organization, communication, and decision-making skills
