The Systems Engineer is responsible for identifying the key system performance metrics and driving design through system modeling.

• Lead projects for definition and improvements of system architecture, encompassing electrical, mechanical and software components
• Develop modeling, simulation and estimation for robotic architectures, e.g. kinematic analysis, multi‑body dynamics, calibration and optimization, haptics
• Develop system architectures, quickly identifying and resolving bottlenecks and conflicts across sub‑systems and components from different domains
• Perform risk analysis to help guide design of safe medical devices
• Generate high‑quality technical documentation, for both establishment of new solutions and continuous development of existing designs
• Define and iterate sub‑system specifications and requirements
• Design and development of testing processes, with specific focus on relevant and meaningful metrics to harmonise equipment verification and desired performance
• Effectively work with cross‑functional teams including mechanical, software and electrical engineers as well as clinical, project management, product development and marketing staff
• Support, improve and educate regarding Verification and Validation activities, as well as advanced troubleshooting for systems’ field or manufacturing roadblocks
• Follow‑up with life‑cycle teams (quality, manufacturing, operation) to ensure newly introduced products or processes maintain a high standard of reliability and performance
• Directly contribute to product development by proposing novel solutions and approaches for enhanced system performance and new applications

• BS degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent hardware domain (Mechatronic, Aerospace, …)
• Strong understanding of robot kinematics and dynamics, geometry, vision, with a relevant application
• Familiarity with robotics programming (e.g. Python, Matlab) and experience with robotic packages (e.g. ROS)
• Problem‑solving skills, with ability to abstract and generalise
• Background in control of real‑time systems
• Familiarity with linear algebra and optimisation theory. Demonstrated knowledge of basic applied statistics
• Experience in documenting and testing electro‑mechanical systems
• Excellent communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills with the ability to self‑direct required
• ISO 13485 – Medical Devices Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Regulatory Purposes
• IEC 60601‑1 – Safety standard for electro‑medical devices
• FDA 21 CFR Part 820 – FDA Quality System Regulation
• Experience with rapid prototyping and CAD (Solid Works preferred)
