We are seeking a skilled and visionary System Architect to lead the definition and development of semiconductor-based system solutions for medical and healthcare applications.
In this role, you will bridge medical regulatory requirements, healthcare user experience needs, and semiconductor technology to create safe, connected, and energy-efficient systems for both regulated medical devices and consumer health/wellness products.
You will collaborate closely with engineering, regulatory, and customer teams to accelerate innovation in medical-grade electronics, connected diagnostics, and digital health solutions.
Key Responsibilities
System Architecture & Design
- Architect end-to-end system platforms for:
- Medical devices (regulated): glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, ECG, hearing aids, portable diagnostic or therapeutic devices.
- Healthcare/wellness products (non-regulated): wearables, fitness trackers, sleep and activity monitors, smart scales.
- Define HW/SW partitioning, secure embedded architectures, sensor interfaces, low-power data acquisition, and edge AI/analytics.
- Integrate wireless connectivity (BLE, Wi-Fi, NFC) and secure data handling for cloud-connected health systems.
- Ensure cybersecurity, patient privacy (GDPR/HIPAA), and functional safety are designed in from the start.
Compliance & Quality
- Ensure designs meet regulatory standards (IEC 60601, IEC 62304, ISO 13485 for medical; CE/FCC/EMC for healthcare).
- Support risk management (ISO 14971), safety architecture reviews, and design validation.
- Coordinate with regulatory and quality teams to prepare documentation for certifications and audits.
Strategic & Cross-functional Collaboration
- Lead and mentor a small team of system architects, providing technical guidance, prioritization, and people development.
- Deliver system requirement documents (SRDs), reference designs, evaluation boards, and PoCs for health-related applications.
- Work closely with product lines, firmware, analog, sensor, and connectivity teams to build cohesive solutions.
- Track emerging trends in healthtech (remote monitoring, AI-based diagnostics, digital therapeutics) and influence product roadmaps.
- Collaborate with universities, startups, and medical ecosystem partners on advanced development projects.
