Delve is seeking an industry-savvy Principal Systems Engineer to guide product development within the highly regulated and technically complex medical device landscape. Our work spans a wide range of products and technologies, and we’re looking for a change agent who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, adapting to evolving requirements, and guiding both internal and external teams toward successful outcomes in patient care. While project team members may phase in and out over the course of a program, the Systems Engineer provides steady leadership from early scoping through design transfer. If you balance high-level strategy with hands-on execution, help teams zoom in and out of the system view, and create tools and frameworks that enable shared understanding, we’d love to hear from you. Join us as we continue to grow Delve’s Systems Engineering capability.

Identify, assess, and manage technical risks using a data-driven approach; partner with project leadership to prioritize mitigation strategies and lead trade-off discussions balancing stakeholder needs, manufacturability, serviceability, quality, and cost
Translate user needs, regulatory requirements, and commercial standards into tailored systems frameworks, requirements, and specifications; establish and maintain design traceability using digital tools
Provide systems engineering leadership (e.g., interface specifications) to guide design inputs and objectively evaluate outputs across hardware, software, firmware, digital, and industrial design teams
Collaborate with Program Management and Quality to create and maintain product development plans and ensure achievement of program milestones, including the creation and review of design control artifacts in alignment with applicable QMS requirements
