We are driven by thousands of ambitious, passionate people worldwide who are willing to fight like warriors to earn the trust of our customers by listening, serving with integrity, thinking big, and being dependable. We've already changed millions of lives and we're ready to change millions more. Our future ambition is to become a leading consumer health technology company while continuing to develop solutions for serious health conditions. We'll get there by constantly reinventing unique biosensing-technology experiences. Though we've come a long way from our small company days, our dreams are bigger than ever. The opportunity to improve health on a global scale stands before us.

• You will drive the rigorous application of requirements management (using Jama Connect) and configuration management, ensuring end-to-end traceability from user needs to verification evidence. 

• You will facilitate technical decision-making and trade-off analysis using systematic methods, balancing performance, cost, and schedule while strictly adhering to patient safety and regulatory compliance (ISO 14971). 

• You will oversee the planning and execution of System Verification and Validation (V&V) strategies, ensuring test setups in India match global standards for repeatability and coverage. 

• You will drive process improvements based on INCOSE guidelines, moving the team toward mature MBSE practices and reducing reliance on document-centric workflows.

 

What makes you successful: 

• You possess a rare blend of functional management experience and "hands-on" technical depth in Systems Engineering, with a proven ability to scale teams. 

• You demonstrate deep knowledge of the medical device product lifecycle (ISO 13485, IEC 62304, FDA 21 CFR Part 820) and have successfully led teams through regulatory submissions. 

• You are an evangelist for modernizing Systems Engineering, with a demonstrated ability to implement GenAI workflows and advanced tooling to solve scalability challenges in documentation and analysis. 

• You demonstrate exceptional communication skills, capable of translating complex technical risks into clear business impacts for executive stakeholders and cross-functional partners (Clinical, Quality, Marketing). 

• You have extensive experience administering and enforcing best practices in ALM and PLM tools (Jama Connect, Jira etc.). 

• You exhibit strong conflict resolution skills and the ability to influence matrixed teams without direct authority, ensuring alignment between software, hardware, and test disciplines. 

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Biomedical, Electrical, Systems, or Software) and 12+ years of experience, with at least 5 years in a direct people-management. 

• Nice to haves:

• INCOSE CSEP certification. 

• Experience transitioning teams from document-based SE to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using SysML tools (Cameo/MagicDraw or Rhapsody). 

• Experience in developing or implementing AI/ML algorithms or systems within a regulated environment. 

• Published works or presentations in the field of systems engineering or medical device technology.
