• Develop and mentor engineering leaders and senior talent through coaching, performance management, succession planning, and career and technical leadership development.
• Support interoperability and integration strategy by ensuring enterprise software aligns with standards‑based healthcare interfaces, reporting, and internal/external system integrations.
• Promote effective communication and customer engagement, enabling engineering teams to support customer‑facing discussions and critical escalations as needed.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Software Engineering required (or equivalent combination of education and experience). 12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise software engineering, including leadership of multiple teams or engineering managers.
• Demonstrated success delivering regulated products in medical, safety‑critical, or industrial environments.
• Strong working knowledge of Quality System Regulations (QSR) with proven partnership and collaboration with Quality Assurance and Validation & Verification (V&V) teams.
• Experience with modern product development practices, including Agile and Lean methodologies, test automation, and DevOps / CI/CD pipelines.
• Proven ability to lead and deliver a portfolio of concurrent software initiatives with predictable execution, quality, and release outcomes.
• Demonstrated success improving estimation accuracy, planning rigor, and execution discipline across distributed or matrixed engineering teams.
• Experience contributing to business and technology strategy and translating strategy into actionable, executable software plans.
• Experience managing departmental budgets, capacity planning, and resource allocation in a complex engineering organization.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence senior cross‑functional leaders and external partners.
