As a Systems Engineer, you will hold a key position for the growth of Philips Innovation Engineering. You will work within a multi-disciplinary project team of highly skilled technical experts from both Philips Innovation Engineering and our customers. Your main challenge will be applying advanced technology to real-world problems, managing system complexity, and rigorously executing the various phases of the V-model while supporting the Senior Systems Engineer. You will be responsible for driving high-quality (sub-)systems designs that meet stringent user and business requirements, ensuring Design for Quality by applying DfSS methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead internal investigations into technical complaints regarding development and system integration, driving resolution and implementing preventive measures.

  • Execute the system architecture design and implementation, overseeing the process from design initiation through commercial launch, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

  • Analyze system anomalies, determine steps to reproduce, identify root causes, and propose solutions, effectively communicating with cross-functional teams.

  • Contribute to gathering, analyzing, and reviewing system-level and sub-system requirements, coordinating system partitioning and total system integration.

  • Manage system requirements, lead risk management activities, and facilitate system test planning, including the identification of necessary tools.

  • Improve processes and work methodologies by interfacing with peers and cross-functional groups to enhance workflow efficiency.

  • Provide guidance and program-level management support to the systems organization throughout all aspects of product development (concept, design, testing, and continuous improvement).

  • Suggest design recommendations to improve system reliability and address conflicting requirements.

  • Familiarity with the Digital Engineering domain is expected, and knowledge of MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering) and/or simulations in Matlab Simulink is a plus.

To Succeed in This Role, You Should Have

  • A BSc or MSc degree or equivalent in Mechatronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, or equivalent.

  • A minimum of 4 years of professional experience in innovative product development, preferably including medical devices and-imaging.

  • Proven experience working according to the V-model in defining requirements, test specifications, execution of tests, and reporting test results.

  • Demonstrated experience in at least one of these domains: medical equipment, industrial automation, or high-precision mechatronics.

  • A clear drive for Design for Quality, ensuring thorough aftercare of projects (GreenBelt certification is a plus).

  • Experience with Model-Based System Engineering and other Model-Based Design tools is a plus.
