Senior Requirement Engineer, Software
About The Position
The Senior Software Requirements Engineer is responsible for understanding subsystem features and applying an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, elicit, create, and maintain high-quality software requirements. This role works closely with systems engineering, software development, verification, and clinical stakeholders to evaluate system requirements and ensure that in addition to needed functions, software requirements appropriately account for code development, verification activities, and clinical aspects of software functionality. The Senior Software Requirements Engineer supports product development by performing core requirements engineering activities—including investigating, defining, analyzing, and documenting requirements—for assigned projects and features. This position requires analytical thinking, technical judgment, and the application of engineering and scientific principles to solve complex technical problems. The role involves independently resolving assigned tasks within projects by applying both technical and clinical understanding, exercising sound judgment in planning and executing work, and using effective, efficient, and best-practice approaches to requirements management.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience managing system, software, firmware, or related requirements, including the use of tools such as IBM DOORS or equivalent.
- Strong ability to elicit, analyze, and document requirements by engaging with stakeholders, subject matter experts, and cross-functional teams.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing, to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proven ability to work closely with team members, gather input, understand concerns, and incorporate feedback into well-structured requirements.
- Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and drive assigned investigations and deliverables to completion.
- Skill in tailoring the level of detail in requirements and documentation to suit the audience, purpose, and development phase.
- Ability to quickly learn new features, technologies, and domains through research, documentation review, and expert engagement, and effectively share this knowledge with the team.
- Strong aptitude for understanding new technical concepts and explaining them accurately and concisely to others.
