Principal Systems Engineer

The Principal Systems Engineer will be a part of the R&D organization and an important contributor to the realization of the next generation robotic platform that will change the future of healthcare. You will be a highly visible technical resource working on architecting complex robotics system from requirement establishment, test approach and tool selection, and traceability matrices in close collaboration with Software engineering, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, Controls, Supply Chain & Manufacturing, and other functions. The main objective is to ensure complete requirements coverage with a harmonized test plan for all levels of testing. This role is suited for an experienced, R&D lead engineer with a strong track record of requirements writing, test design, definition, and implementation for complex robotics systems. The initial phase is to support successful exit of V&V phase, followed by design transfer, and product launch. You will have a great opportunity to lead system integration and test process, define optimal requirement layers, specify verification approach, support development of test tools, and support development of test protocols that pave the path to successful system development and launch., * Leads the design of system integration and test approach from components, PCBAs, subassemblies, assemblies, and subsystem to system level with focus on software and controls.
