Job description

Job Description:
The System Architect is a highly influential technical leader who will define the end-to-end system architecture and product vision for next-generation clinical solutions. In this role, you will transform unmet customer needs and emerging technologies into scalable, high-impact product designs-establishing the frameworks, requirements, and integration strategies that bring complex, multi-disciplinary systems to life.
As a key driver of innovation, you will collaborate across engineering and cross-functional teams to turn bold ideas into reality-bridging vision with hands-on execution. You'll help shape transformative solutions that enable clinicians to see with greater clarity, work more ergonomically, and deliver more efficient, high-quality patient care.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Define system architecture and product direction
    • Lead the definition of system architecture and product vision for complex, multi-disciplinary solutions.
    • Translate customer needs, clinical workflows, and emerging technologies into clear system requirements and performance targets.
    • Break down high-level concepts into actionable subsystem requirements with end-to-end traceability.
  • Drive subsystem integration and interoperability
    • Establish system boundaries, interfaces, and integration strategies to ensure seamless interoperability across electrical, mechanical, optical, and software domains.
    • Lead architectural trade-off studies and make informed decisions that balance performance, cost, usability, and scalability.
    • Identify and proactively mitigate system-level risks, dependencies, and integration challenges.
  • Lead hands-on system design and rapid prototyping
    • Build and guide rapid prototypes to validate architecture, de-risk key technologies, and accelerate learning.
    • Define and evaluate system performance across critical dimensions such as responsiveness, accuracy, reliability, and user experience.
    • Stay close to the hardware and software-leading from the front during integration, debug, and iteration cycles.
  • Provide technical leadership and execution discipline
    • Lead and mentor a cross-functional team of engineers, fostering strong system thinking and engineering rigor.
    • Operate within an Agile development model-driving sprint planning, prioritization, and incremental delivery of working solutions.
    • Facilitate design and architecture reviews that promote alignment, clarity, and high-quality decision-making.
  • Collaborate across the organization
    • Partner closely with Product Management, Clinical/Voice-of-Customer teams, Quality/Regulatory, Manufacturing, and external partners.
    • Ensure solutions are not only innovative, but also feasible, manufacturable, and scalable.
    • Support the transition from concept through development into validation and production.

Job Requirements:
Required:
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field (e.g., Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or similar).
  • 15+ years of experience designing and developing complex products that integrate multiple engineering disciplines.
  • 5+ years of system-level architecture experience, including ownership of system design, subsystem definition, and integration.
  • Proven track record of bringing innovative products from concept through development and into market.
  • Willingness to travel 10-15% to support ideation, voice-of-customer, and supplier development activities.

Preferred:
  • Experience with products that require tight integration of hardware and software.
  • Experience with wearable, head-mounted, or ergonomics-driven product design.
  • Experience in regulated industries (medical device preferred).
  • Systems thinker at your core: You naturally connect the dots across disciplines and understand how decisions at one level impact the entire system.
  • Deep technical breadth: Strong experience across electro-mechanical systems, optics, and software-enabled products.
  • Architectural leadership: You bring structure to ambiguity-defining clear architectures, interfaces, and design frameworks that teams can execute against.
  • Bias for action: You move quickly from concept to prototype, using rapid iteration to learn, refine, and improve.
  • Agile mindset: Comfortable working in sprint-based environments, breaking complex problems into manageable increments that deliver real progress.
  • Influence and leadership: You lead through expertise and clarity, aligning teams and driving decisions without formal authority when needed.
  • Strong communicator: You can clearly articulate complex technical concepts to engineers, cross-functional teams, and leadership.
  • Customer-focused: You are motivated by solving real-world problems and creating solutions that meaningfully improve user outcomes.
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on prototyping and lab environment.
  • Ability to handle sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.
