This role focuses on decomposing user needs and product requirements into candidate system architectures, evaluating design alternatives and trade-offs, and establishing interface definitions that enable fluidics, optics and imaging, precision motion, mechanical, electronics and controls, software, data analysis, GUI/user interface, and human factors engineering to design and integrate their subsystems effectively. The skill set is intended to support a broad, ongoing portfolio of related development programs across the life-science and medical device space (for example, diagnostic and analytical instruments, laboratory automation and point-of-care testing platforms, drug-delivery systems, extracorporeal therapies such as dialysis, and other complex instrument platforms).
