Systems Engineer II
About The Position
As a Systems Engineer II within the CST Platforms and Solutions organization, you will utilize your technical expertise in solving complex problems and in designing solutions using computer-assisted and robotic-assisted surgery technology to improve patient outcomes and surgical efficiency. You will work independently with general supervision on moderately complex systems tasks. You will drive technical decision-making within the team to be consistent with big picture design goals and system functionality. You will work within and influence a cross-functional team to design, develop, test, and document innovative system solutions utilizing software and hardware components. You will lead the definition and development of user needs, business needs, use cases, requirements, and system architecture. You will lead and assist in the engineering analysis to optimize and select concepts to ensure the final solution fulfills needs, requirements, use cases, environments, and the overall system vision. You will lead and assist in the planning and execution of user evaluations in lab-based surgical environments or other formative evaluation events to gain insightful feedback on design concepts. You will lead and support the team in identifying and mitigating technical risks, product hazards, and failure modes. You will troubleshoot system component integration and support surgical procedure introduction of the design. You will provide technical input to internal and cross-business development teams, serving as a subject matter expert in computer-assisted surgery, robotic-assisted surgery, and clinical procedural workflows.
