- Decompose user, clinical, and business needs into clear, testable system and subsystem requirements.
- Ensure complete traceability from user needs through requirements, risks, mitigation, and verification.
- Write requirements that are technically precise, non-prescriptive, and verification-ready.
Risk Reduction & Technical Validation:
- Lead identification and mitigation of system-level risks.
- Own or significantly contribute to system-level dFMEAs, ensuring strong linkage between requirements, risk controls, and verification activities.
- Define and support system-level verification strategies, ensuring requirements are objectively testable and clinically relevant.
- Actively de-risk novel or critical aspects of the system through early experimentation and focused learning cycles.
Cross-Functional Technical Leadership:
- Serve as the systems subject-matter expert across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, clinical, quality, and product teams.
- Lead architecture reviews, requirements reviews, and system-level design discussions.
- Work closely with other technical leads (mechanical, electrical, and SW) to ensure a fully functional system.
- Provide clear technical direction and
