System Architect

About the Role

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.

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.
