Job Description

Senior Systems Engineer (Contract) Onsite | Electro-Mechanical Systems | Test Engineering | Medical Device Development

Join an innovative engineering team as a Senior Systems Engineer and play a key role in the development, testing, and validation of advanced electro-mechanical systems. This onsite contract opportunity is ideal for a hands-on engineering professional with strong systems engineering, test development, and analytical skills who thrives in highly regulated environments.

In this role, you will contribute to the full systems engineering lifecycle, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure product performance, regulatory compliance, and successful project execution.

What Youll Do Systems Engineering & Product Development

• Deliver key V-Model systems engineering deliverables and actively participate in technical and design reviews.
• Develop, evaluate, and verify system performance against engineering requirements and design specifications.
• Assess system interactions and identify opportunities to improve reliability, efficiency, and overall product performance.
• Support assay and system optimization using modern technologies, tools, and engineering methodologies.

Testing & Validation

• Design and develop comprehensive test methods and validation strategies.
• Create and execute detailed testing plans and hands-on verification protocols.
• Develop test beds and testing environments to support product evaluation.
• Perform Test Method Validation (TMV), Design of Experiments (DoE), and data-driven performance assessments.
• Analyze digital sensor outputs and system performance data to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities.
• Author clear, detailed technical reports and engineering documentation.

Data Analysis & Problem Solving

• Conduct data analysis using engineering and statistical techniques.
• Utilize Python for data processing, test automation, and analytical workflows.
• Troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical systems and investigate root causes of product and system issues.
• Support defect identification, documentation, tracking, and resolution efforts throughout the product lifecycle.

Project & Compliance Management

• Execute project deliverables including:
• Requirements management
• Risk management
• Configuration management
• Defect management
• Verification and validation activities

Maintain accurate documentation within company-approved engineering tools and systems. Ensure traceability between requirements, design outputs, testing activities, and validation results. Required Qualifications

• Experience working with electro-mechanical devices and complex integrated systems.
• Strong troubleshooting, testing, and analytical skills.
• Hands-on experience with data analysis and Python programming.
• Ability to develop and execute technical test plans, validation protocols, and engineering reports.
• Experience managing defects and supporting product development teams through issue resolution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience translating industry standards, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder needs into clear, testable engineering requirements.
• Ability to interpret and apply regulatory, safety, and industry standards, including ISO, IEC, FDA, and European regulatory requirements.
• Expertise extracting functional, performance, interface, and design constraints from complex technical and regulatory documentation.
• Experience decomposing high-level compliance requirements into hardware, software, and system-level specifications.
• Knowledge of requirements management and traceability tools such as DOORS, Jira, RETINA, or similar platforms.
• Experience establishing and maintaining end-to-end, bi-directional requirements traceability.

Ideal Background

Candidates with experience in FDA-regulated, FAA-regulated, or highly regulated engineering environments are strongly preferred. Experience within the medical device industry is especially valuable.
