We are seeking an experienced System Designer to support the design improvement and regulatory remediation of robotic-assisted surgical and electromechanical medical device systems. This role sits within a cross-functional design and service transfer initiative focused on improving the serviceability and reliability of complex medical device platforms.

You will work at the intersection of R&D;, Service Engineering, Quality, Operations, and Field Service to ensure that design outputs are properly translated into production and servicing specifications, in full compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks. This is a fast-paced, agile environment with iterative planning cycles, backlog grooming, and regular cross-functional alignment — ideal for someone who thrives on adaptability and continuous improvement.

Candidate should bring experience with software as a medical device (SaMD) concepts and familiarity with robotic or electromechanical medical device platforms.
