About The Position

Shape next-generation sleep therapy and ventilation devices by defining system requirements, ensuring hardware and software work together seamlessly, and making the engineering trade-offs that deliver safe, compliant, and scalable products. Your role: Align and reconcile stakeholder inputs across complex programs to define strategic scope, success criteria, and system‑of‑systems objectives. Ensure requirements, data models, and lifecycle strategies are traceable and tied to measurable business outcomes. Lead system architecture, integration strategy, and interface management across multiple projects to ensure interoperability and reduce integration risk. Resolve cross‑project conflicts through standardized interfaces, phased integration planning, and coordinated testing governance. Drive platform strategy, modularization, and system‑level trade‑offs using modeling, simulation, and data analytics. Balance reuse, cost, schedule, and differentiation while scaling validated methodologies and reusable platform roadmaps. Establish robust quality, regulatory, and risk frameworks, including supplier performance, hazard analysis, cybersecurity, and configuration governance. Ensure compliance by interpreting regulations, supporting submissions, and prioritizing mitigation and release strategies across programs. Champion multidisciplinary collaboration, usability, reliability, and lifecycle value, integrating sustainability and circular economy principles into design and product management. Leverage AI and data technologies in system design while coaching systems engineers and strengthening engineering best practices.
