This role is responsible for collaborating with cross‑functional teams (Product Management, Clinical, Quality, Regulator, Service, Hardware, Software, Program Management) to translate customer and clinical needs into system requirements, architecture, risk management, integration, verification, and validation strategies across the full medical device development lifecycle. The Senior Systems Engineer will also own and drive the Usability engineering process for Infant Care products.

Required engineering judgment, systems thinking, and a passion for solving complex healthcare challenges that improve outcomes for patients and caregivers.

Learn about our products and what we’re building:

• Lead systems engineering activities for Next‑Generation Infant Care Incubators and Warmers, translating clinical, customer, regulatory, and business needs into clear system requirements and design inputs.
• Own system architecture, requirements flow‑down, interface definition, design tradeoffs, risk retirement, and traceability across hardware, software, mechanical, electrical, and clinical workflows.
• Drive design control execution, including requirements management, hazard analysis, risk management, integration planning, verification, validation, and design transfer.
• Partner with engineering, clinical, quality, regulatory, manufacturing, service, product management, and marketing teams to deliver safe, reliable, compliant, and manufacturable Infant Care solutions.
• Lead system‑level problem solving in neonatal care environments, ensuring performance, usability, safety, serviceability, reliability, and compatibility across subsystems and accessories.
• Develop and execute system integration, verification, and validation strategies that demonstrate product performance, risk control effectiveness, and readiness for regulatory submission and commercial release.
• Identify, assess, and communicate technical risks, schedule impacts, and design tradeoffs; recommend practical mitigation plans that support program priorities and patient safety.
• Provide technical leadership to systems engineers and cross‑functional partners by aligning priorities, removing ambiguity, and maintaining engineering rigor.
• Support quality, regulatory, and compliance activities, including design reviews, audits, corrective and preventive actions, and responses to field or customer issues.
• Maintain focus on clinician workflow, newborn safety, caregiver usability, and scalable platforms that support multi‑generational Infant Care product development.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.
• Minimum 6 years of engineering experience in medical device, healthcare technology, regulated product development, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of experience supporting product development and design controls, including requirements management, risk management, verification, validation, and design reviews.
• Experience translating customer, clinical, regulatory, and business needs into system requirements, architecture, interfaces, and verification strategies.
• Experience supporting usability engineering or human factors activities, including workflow analysis, use‑related risk, formative evaluation, summative validation, or usability‑related design inputs.
• Working knowledge of complex electromechanical, software‑enabled, or connected medical device systems and subsystem interactions.
• Willingness to work on site a minimum of 4 days per week with the development team in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S.; no visa sponsorship.

• Experience developing medical devices for neonatal, maternal infant care, patient monitoring, respiratory care, life support, or other safety‑critical clinical environments.
