By combining innovative technology, data-driven insights, and deep clinical expertise, we partner with physicians and health systems to improve how patients are treated and supported throughout their care journey. Our Neuromodulation operating unit delivers advanced therapies for chronic pain, movement disorders, and nervous system conditions, offering SCS, DBS, and targeted drug delivery. Through proven technology, clinical evidence, and innovation, we provide personalized solutions that restore function and enhance quality of life. Check us out on LinkedIn: Medtronic Brain Modulation and Pain Interventions In this role as a Sr Systems Engineer, you will have responsibility for developing new Neuromodulation products from early feasibility through to market release. You will act as an influential systems engineer working within a matrix organization to support the Systems Engineering organization in the definition, design, development, and testing of complex medical device systems within the Neuromodulation Operating Unit. You will work closely with, and act as a technical leader within, a cross-functional engineering team to synthesize feature needs and technology trends into system requirements and design specifications. Primary Responsibilities * Collect and analyze design inputs (customer needs, business needs, etc.) and transform them into high quality engineering requirements. * Perform system architecture and design for all phases of system development to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. * Ensure the logical and systematic conversion of system requirements and design into product requirements that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. * Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. * Lead, coordinate, execute, and document system analysis and design activities including but not limited to architecture definition, interface management, performance modeling, system integration, and design failure modes and effects analyses. * Develop digital platform solutions including defining, maintaining, and integrating the architecture of data, and data flows, provided by those systems and their users * Defines the technologies, policies, and data models to be used in collecting, organizing, storing, and accessing information. * Identify technical development risks, develop and execute risk burn-down plans * Facilitate cross-functional engineering and project team communication to drive design decisions, align on test and integration strategies, perform hands-on testing, and review test results, identify technical issues and manage their resolution * Verify system requirements have been properly implemented (writing, leveling, tracing) through inspection, demonstration, test or analysis. * Validate that implemented systems meet customer needs * Support regulatory body submissions and facilitate knowledge transfer to continuation engineering teams * Represent the organization as a primary contact for specific projects and initiatives; communicates with internal and external customers and vendors at various levels. May negotiate with others to reach understanding or agreement, and influence decision-making. * Manage moderately complex projects, involving delegation of work and review of work products, at times acting as a team leader. * Provide guidance, coaching, and training to other employees within job area. * Establish and advocate for best practices and continuous improvement as to mature the Systems Engineering knowledge and processes. * Understand and advocate for technology evolution and participate in the development of system and product roadmaps. * This individual is expected to be a thought leader, proficient in building consensus and establishing strong links between business and engineering, and technology sectors. * Travel 10% for business related events, such as conferences and product launches ## Related Videos - [From Bedside Beeps to Interoperable Bytes – Getting your medical devices ready to talk the IEEE 11073 language](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/771-from-bedside-beeps-to-interoperable-bytes-getting-your-medical-devices-ready-to-talk-the-ieee-11073-language) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [The Algorithm That Nearly Killed Me: When Testing Isn't Enough](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2110-the-algorithm-that-nearly-killed-me-when-testing-isn-t-enough) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know)
