About The Position

At Globus Medical, we move with a sense of urgency to deliver innovations that improve the quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Our team is inspired by the needs of these patients, and the surgeons and healthcare providers who treat them. We embrace a culture of exceptional response by partnering with researchers and educators to transform clinical insights into tangible solutions. Our solutions improve the techniques and outcomes of surgery so patients can resume their lives as quickly as possible. Position Summary: We are seeking a Systems Engineer who will play a critical role in defining, integrating, and validating complex medical robotic systems. This role goes beyond traditional requirements management—you will own system-level behavior, ensuring that software, hardware, robotics, and imaging components work together seamlessly. You will operate at the intersection of disciplines, driving system architecture, analyzing performance, and resolving cross-functional challenges. This position requires strong technical depth, systems thinking, and the ability to translate between engineering, clinical, and regulatory domains.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Biomedical, Software, or related field)
• 3+ years of experience in complex system development (medical device, robotics, aerospace, or similar)
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and product development lifecycle
• Experience working across software and hardware domains
• Ability to decompose complex systems and reason about interactions between subsystems
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams

Nice To Haves

• Experience with medical devices and FDA-regulated development processes
• Familiarity with surgical navigation, robotics, or image-guided systems
• Understanding of DICOM, CT imaging, and image processing concepts
• Experience with coordinating systems, geometric transformations, or 3D spatial reasoning
• Exposure to real-time systems, distributed architectures, or hardware communication protocols
• Experience with system-level validation, statistical analysis, or performance characterization
• Familiarity with sensor fusion techniques (e.g., Kalman filtering)

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain system-level architecture across software, hardware, and robotic subsystems
• Own system interfaces, data flow, and interactions between services, devices, and user interfaces
• Evaluate design tradeoffs across performance, usability, accuracy, and reliability
• Support development and validation of navigation and registration pipelines
• Evaluate tracking systems and coordinate relationships between imaging, patient reference frames, and robotic systems
• Define and validate coordinate transformations across imaging, tracking, and robotic domains
• Develop and analyze system-level accuracy metrics
• Support quantitative performance characterization and statistical analysis of system accuracy
• Analyze system performance including latency, synchronization, and real-time behavior
• Work across distributed components (microservices, hardware interfaces, communication protocols such as gRPC, UDP, and serial)
• Identify and mitigate system-level failure modes and edge cases
• Define system-level verification and validation strategies, including cadaver studies and quantitative accuracy testing
• Ensure traceability from requirements through verification and validation in alignment with design controls
• Collaborate on risk analysis activities in accordance with ISO 14971
• Coordinate technical activities across software, hardware, clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing teams
• Translate complex technical concepts across disciplines to enable effective decision-making
• Troubleshoot complex system-level issues spanning multiple subsystems
• Drive improvements in system design, development processes, and engineering workflows
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for system-level issues observed in testing or the field
• Adheres to the letter and spirit of the company Code of Conduct, the AdvaMed Code, MedTech Code, and all other company policies
• Ensures Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations, both in the United States and internationally, by completing introductory and annual training and maintaining knowledge of compliance as it applies to your role
• Represents the company in a professional manner and uphold the highest standards of ethical business conduct and socially responsible conduct in all interactions with other employees, customers, suppliers, and other third parties

Benefits

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
