We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company's facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers' or suppliers' locations. This is an office role based in Best, Netherlands, with collaboration across Philips teams and suppliers in the Netherlands, Cambridge, and the broader Image Guided Therapy organization. Some travel (appx 15%) is required for cross-site planning, supplier alignment, and integration activities. ## Description Drive the cross-element software architecture for a novel medical robotic platform, connecting robot control, clinical workflow applications, joystick control, compute platforms, cybersecurity, suppliers, and regulated lifecycle processes. * You will define and maintain the overall Robotic Procedure Automation software system architecture across Control Software, HW UI, Interventional Application, Teleoperation Infrastructure, AI infrastructure, compute units, system interfaces, development tools, and released software baselines. * You will shape long-term architecture and process readiness for product lifecycle management, including software configuration management, software-relevant bill of materials, deployment architecture, version compatibility, and documentation synchronization. * You will own the cross-element architecture for safety allocation, cybersecurity, requirements traceability, system interfaces, SOUP governance, development tool validation, and verification readiness in a regulated medical-device environment. * You will technically govern vendor-delivered and partner-delivered work, especially for UI and infrastructure-related deliverables, by defining architecture constraints, interface expectations, acceptance criteria, and validation evidence. * You will collaborate closely with software, system engineering, Quality Management System, cybersecurity, verification, compute engineering, suppliers, and lifecycle stakeholders in NL and US, and the broader Image Guided Therapy organization. ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
