We work on a constant stream of innovative solutions for our users. At the same time, we aim to optimize life cycle management and service practices for our install-base.

Your role:

• Translate user and business requirements into product requirements and design, while performing systems decomposition and allocating derived requirements to HW/SW elements.

• Work with our external partners and suppliers to develop and release new solutions or to maintain the existing pathology scanner products.

• Technically responsible for owning the design and implementing required functionality in a multi-disciplinary setting, creating work breakdown and realistic plans.

• As part of the Scanner Architecture Team, support the definition of our roadmap, for both new product introductions as well as life cycle management activities for the installed base.

• Enable and support our team in the quality processes related to medical device development, such as risk management, defect management, and post market surveillance.

• Actively maintain and advance our system engineering practices.

You are a part of:

The Scanner Systems team consists of 11 top professionals, leading the system engineering activities related to our pathology scanners.
