Sr. Systems Engineer

Founded in 2022, Field Medical Inc. is a medical device company advancing next-generation pulsed field ablation (PFA) technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Field Medical's flagship innovation, the Field Force Ablation System, is the first contact force focal PFA catheter system designed specifically for ventricular use. By delivering brief, high-intensity electric fields to target cardiac tissue without thermal damage, the system represents a novel approach to treating some of the most challenging arrhythmias. The company’s proprietary Field Bending technology enables precise and large-volume lesion creation, supporting a broad range of electrophysiology applications.

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Sr. Systems Engineer to lead systems engineering activities across our product development efforts. This person will be responsible for engineering and scientific DHF development, guiding internal R&D projects, and leading V&V efforts across the broader development team. While this role does not include direct people management, it does require strong cross‑functional leadership to drive alignment across engineering, quality, regulatory, clinical, and other partner functions.

The systems engineering function is responsible for helping prepare for international submissions and ensuring compliance with FDA requirements and applicable international standards.

This role encompasses project planning, technical specification development, test and test tool development, workstream coordination, tracking progress across development and engineering teams, and development of DHF and DMR records.

• Understand customer needs and write specifications for the system and sub‑systems.
• Collaborate with SMEs to define and document system architecture and top‑level design.
• Support technical designers in their design activities and verify fit of the design to system requirements.
• Conduct and review scientific analysis of the system (physical, hardware, software, algorithms, sensors, etc.) and related engineering activities to validate simulations and system design.
• Lead cross‑functional alignment to define system specifications, requirements, architecture, performance, and usability objectives.
• Plan and conduct system integration, proof‑of‑design testing, and system and sub‑system verification and validation activities.
• Build simulations and models of system functions, and lead feasibility studies.
• Perform measurements, create engineering designs, develop plans, and maintain laboratory notebooks for all work.
• Conduct testing (bench, V&V, in vivo), develop and utilize test protocols, and generate written reports.
• Recommend and enforce design compliance with electrical standards for medical devices.
• Conduct software evaluations, reviews, and system analyses.
• Act as a liaison between external vendors and internal cross‑functional teams.
