Systems Engineer 2 In Biomedical Product Design
Join us in pioneering breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. Sustainably. Our inspiring and caring environment forms a global community that celebrates diversity and individuality. We encourage you to step beyond your comfort zone, offering resources and flexibility to foster your professional and personal growth, all while valuing your unique contributions.
Join our team now at Siemens Healthineers Diagnostics as a Systems Engineer 2 in Biomedical Product Design in the Core Lab Solutions (CLS) R&D System Engineering organization. The System Engineering (SE) organization is the technical hub for integrating the chemistries, mechanics, fluidics, robotics, and control systems to develop and launch new products for the CLS business line. This role can be located in Newark, DE or Tarrytown, NY and reports into the System Architecture & Design (SAD) organization within the SE organization. Relocation may be offered for the right candidate. This is a role well suited to an ambitious professional, looking for the next step in their career. As part of the SAD team, the Senior Systems Engineer will be a key player in the development of complex multi-disciplinary analytical medical instrument systems. You will independently contribute to the design and development of hardware-software integrated electromechanical instruments for the new product portfolio of our CLS business. If you thrive in an R&D environment and are passionate about creating new products that make a real-world impact, we wish to hear from you.
Responsibilities of a System Engineer 2 :
- Firsthand practical experience with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and application through modeling / simulation tools (ex. SysML / UM / , Magic Draw, Cameo, Enterprise Architect, Mathworks System Composer, Simulink, Stateflow).
- Work with other decision makers and stakeholders to identify, recommend, develop, implement, and support the next generation of products and solutions for the CLS business.
- Be comfortable and adept in working in the following primary domains : Mechanical, Electrical, Fluidic, Thermal, Optical, Low-Level Real Time Control Firmware, High-Level Object-Oriented Software.
- Work with cross-functional teams (Marketing, Service, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Manufacturing) in developing design concepts for new products.
- Assist in translating Voice of Customer (VoC) inputs, clinical needs, and regulatory standards into clear, actionable use cases and system requirements and specifications for the CLS business.
- Assist in performing comprehensive Usability Assessments and Human Factors Engineering throughout the development lifecycle (Formative and Summative testing).
- Contribute to safety risk management activities (e.g., Hazard Analysis, FTA, dFMEA) by systematically identifying, documenting, and tracking system-level risks.
- Design and execute laboratory experiments to evaluate feasibility of medical instrument system, subsystem and component design concepts.
- Execute system characterization and performance testing to assess, debug, and optimize the integrated operation of complex subsystems.
- Actively participate in development of instrument features, system integration efforts, assisting cross-functional teams to resolve subsystem to subsystem interface issues and ensure seamless function between hardware and software subsystems.
- Collaborate with lead engineers / architects on system trade-off studies and analyses to evaluate and select optimal technical solutions based on cost, performance, and risk.
- Design and deploy AI agents that coordinate cross-functional workflows, enabling intelligent automation and streamlined decision support across product development.
- Determine root cause of system / assay performance issues and propose design modifications.
- You will work closely with Structured Testing and Practices (STP) organization to develop / review testing plans and protocols and provide troubleshooting and data analysis support during execution.
- Demonstrate ability to mentor other engineers on Model Based Systems Engineering and expanding the use of modeling simulation tools within the engineering communities.
- Excel in communication and keeping development teams aligned.
- Excel in presenting information to project leaders and peers.
- Excel in creation and analysis of models to support effective decision making.
