Systems Engineer

Role - Systems Engineer

Contract - via Randstad

Job Profile Summary

The Systems Engineer is responsible for the realization and lifecycle management of complex systems through the definition of requirements, system architecture, and technical solutions that address user, business, regulatory, and technical needs.

The role manages system-level complexity, guides design decisions, and ensures alignment with safety, performance, quality, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and delivery objectives.

Working across engineering, quality, regulatory, manufacturing, service, suppliers, and program teams, the Systems Engineer supports risk management, requirements traceability, change impact assessment, technical documentation, and regulatory compliance to deliver reliable and user-focused systems.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead the translation of user and business needs into clear, measurable, and testable product requirements, ensuring traceability to design decisions and lower-level hardware, software, and subsystem requirements.

• Define and maintain system architecture, decomposition, and interface specifications across hardware, software, supplier, and external system boundaries to support effective product realization and lifecycle management.

• Conduct system-level trade-off analyses, risk assessments, and product evaluations to optimize performance, quality, reliability, cost, schedule, manufacturability, serviceability, and regulatory compliance.

• Provide technical support across cross-functional teams and suppliers, supporting technical alignment, supplier quality and qualification activities, stakeholder collaboration, and successful system delivery.

• Contribute to lifecycle planning, usability engineering, sustainability considerations, and continuous improvement initiatives while applying systems engineering methods, data technologies, and AI-enabled practices.

• Ensure compliance with applicable quality processes, medical device regulations, and industry standards through robust documentation, traceability, regulatory support, and product quality activities.

Work Experience

• 5+ years in complex product or system development environments.

• Full Lifecycle Engineering: End-to-end ownership of systems or subsystems from early concept and requirement translation through validation, industrialization, and lifecycle support.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical, software, quality, manufacturing) and manage external partners, suppliers, and certification bodies.

• Technical Trade-Offs & Execution: Hands-on experience balancing cost, risk, performance, and schedule while supporting prototype builds, issue tracking, and production ramp-up.

• Regulated Environments: Background in safety-critical or regulated industries; medical device or health tech experience is a strong plus.
