JOB SUMMARY:
The Staff Systems Design Engineer will lead efforts to architect, design, specify and validate systems and subsystems; develop algorithms; and contribute to overall system architecture and design.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
Provide technical direction and leadership to a cross-functional product development team in system architecture and design.
Work with Marketing and Engineering to define, analyze, detail, and document specifications for tradeoffs, performance, features, controls, and operation of products into a form suitable for product implementation.
- Contribute to the designs as required; this may include development, verification and validation of algorithms.
- Lead system integration of the specialist areas of a product.
- Define product requirements specifications in the cross-functional team environment.
- Plan and conduct in-depth reviews, testing and verifications/validation of product features.
- Critically analyze and verify system performance through simulation, test, and measurements.
- Specify and develop improvements or enhancements to existing products and champion implementation if necessary.
- Documentation of requirements and traceability matrices need to be maintained for regulatory purposes in the environment of a diagnostic, medical device manufacturer.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
- A Ph.D. in Physics, Optics, or similar engineering disciplines with five or more (5+) years of industry experience OR MS in the same areas with eight or more (8+) years of industry experience.
- The candidate should demonstrate a high skill set not just in one specialty, but also in other functional areas, e.g. in electrical engineering, computer sciences, and programming, or opto-electronics. Cross-functional thinking and skills are essential.
- A profound understanding of optical systems, opto-electronics, opto-mechanical and software driven hardware is necessary. First order optical layouts should be readily understood, and in-depth knowledge of basic optics calculations (geometrical as well as Gaussian optics) is required. Experience in lens design is advantageous.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills.
- Ability to adapt quickly to change and work in a rapidly changing environment.
- Must have a proven record of performing troubleshooting on complex instrumentation, including optical, electrical, mechanical, and software components.
- Knowledge of or prior work experience in one or more of the following subject areas would be helpful: medical electronic instruments, ophthalmic instruments, imaging or non-imaging optics, image processing, machine vision systems, human vision, modeling and simulation tools (MATLAB, Labview, Mathematica/Maple).
- Hands-on experience in the laboratory set-up, testing and the definition of system-level requirements and design of experiments is essential.
