Job description
We are seeking a skilled and experienced Staff Software/Systems Engineer with expertise in developing software design control deliverables that comply with FDA guidance and regulatory standards in the medical device industry. This is a documentation-focused role centered on design controls rather than software development. The candidate will be responsible for remediating software design control items, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and traceability between inputs and outputs.
- Evaluate and remediate gaps in software design control inputs (e.g., system/software requirements) and outputs (e.g., test documentation, software code).
- Correct traceability errors, document missing traceability, and develop or decompose requirements as needed.
- Assess existing test cases and determine additional testing needs, conducting back testing if necessary.
- Maintain thorough documentation of changes and rationales.
- Gain proficiency in Polarion and assist with data migration and tool population.
- Modify and implement software design documents using updated templates within the Quality Management System.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure alignment and address feasibility concerns.
- Identify and mitigate risks early in the process.
- Communicate project status, technical concepts, and design details effectively.
- Identify opportunities for process improvements in software engineering.
