SYSTEMS ENGINEER

You will be involved in all system engineering aspects of the Philips V-model, starting with conceptualization, writing requirements, functional and technical design, check & optimize, verification, integration and finally the validation. In your role, you will support system architects and engineers to integrally manage all system engineering aspects in a model-based way supported by the appropriate tools. You will maintain and develop knowledge and expertise resulting in state-of-the-art approaches to serving our customers.

Responsibilities:

• Incorporates essential operating mechanisms of systems engineering of medical device design and engineering principles and adheres to medical device regulations.
• Defines system requirements, architecture, and interfaces to meet product requirements, risk analysis and industry standards; conducts system design analysis to select key components and defines control methods; and coordinates build and design integration
• Works together to support product verification and validation planning, resolution of technical integration issues, safety agency interface, system testing and coordination and interfaces with Philips design center.
• Conducts design reviews as part of the product development process to ensure customer requirements are met and the designs are manufacture-able, serviceable, and reliable. In addition, it does the same for subsystem requirements and product integration.

As System Engineering Expert MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineering) you will:

• Lead and Support the development of MBSE content in R&D (Research and Development) projects across the business utilizing MBSE modelling tools like Cameo.
• Manage the system engineering information and its traceability (requirements, risks, design decisions, protocols, results) in the model-based system environment of the business
• Create adequate requirements and designs for solutions, products, services, and testers
• Deploy best practices for MBSE globally in Philips to R&D project teams or organizations via training & coaching to enhance maturity
• Identify improvement opportunities in Philips businesses with respect to the MBSE proposition and develop actionable proposals, plans and tailored training materials or workshops to address these
• Manage your activities and services according to good project management practices

Coordinate small teams of system (MBSE) engineers if applicable

• Behaviors: The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:
• Leadership: The ability to make things happen by encouraging and channeling the contributions of others; recognizing and addressing critical issues in a timely manner and acting as an agent for change and continual improvement when required to achieve results.
• Accountability/Ownership: Work closely with team members and take ownership be a mentor to junior engineers
• Influence: The demonstrated ability to gain acceptance and commitment from others to one s own beliefs and ideas.
• Negotiating: The ability to construct and maintain a strong bargaining position to ensure positive response and agreement: striving for win-win situations.
• Adaptability: Must possess the ability to understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately throughout an evolving environment and organize work assignments to meet established timetables.
• Data-driven decision-making: ability to move teams through vague and complex situations. Present complex ideas in a simple manner to resolve issues.
• Relentless focus on Quality and Transparency as an organizational value.

The Systems Engineering team drives the systems elements of R&D development projects including systems requirement definition and management, architectural definition, control/software/interface product specification and simulation, build integration, system testing and qualification to meet product level requirements.

To succeed in this role, you should have the following skills and experience:

• MS or PhD in relevant field including Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, or other related science.
• A minimum of 8+ years of experience successfully developing complex medical device (hardware, software, consumables) products for acute care/hospital markets is necessary.
• Additional technical knowledge and hands on experience in ventilation will be added advantage.
• Hands on experiences in using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Tools of Cameo and such similar tools
• Experience with conducting cross-discipline feasibility and trade off studies to evaluate electronic, mechanical, and pneumatic performance from subsystem to system level for issue resolutions
• Analytical and architectural thinking, system view, physical insight, flexibility, and a hands-on mentality to deliver sustainable results and creative solutions.
• Strong understanding of Controls and Software development process including Model-based Design approach and Test-Driven design methodologies
• Solid understanding of System Verification and Validation test plan/protocols, executing V&V (Verification and Validation) (Verification and Validation) activities, generating, and analyzing test reports
• Understanding of global medical device regulatory environments and clearance processes.
• Effective communication, computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills are required, as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Maintains strict confidentiality of sensitive information.
