Roles and Responsibilities

• Model technical leadership in hardware integration by mentoring LHIs, Core Team members, and cross-functional stakeholders on best practices, processes, and execution excellence.
• Lead hardware integration activities for critical NPI programs and highly complex product initiatives, ensuring alignment across engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, regulatory, service, and commercial teams.
• Serve as the primary hardware representative within program teams, driving collaboration, decision-making, and execution across geographically dispersed teams, including significant engagement with global engineering partners.
• Proactively manage cross-functional interdependencies to maximize team efficiency, mitigate execution risks, and prevent program delays across both short-term and long-term planning horizons.
• Anticipate integration issues before they become program risks and leverage technical expertise, systems thinking, and data-driven analysis to develop actionable solutions and recommendations.
• Guide teams through product development processes including design, development, verification, validation, release readiness, and change management activities, including PIPO, MR, ECR, ECO, and related governance processes.
• Connect strategic planning and execution across NPI, Installed Base, Service, Manufacturing, Obsolescence, and End-of-Life efforts to ensure business objectives and customer needs are met.
• Drive hardware integration throughout the full product lifecycle, from concept and development through launch, sustainment, and retirement.
• Serve as a best-practice and quality resource for hardware integration, continuously improving processes, tools, and methodologies that increase program predictability and effectiveness.
• Contribute to integration strategy, policy development, organizational capability growth, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Build alignment and consensus among stakeholders while effectively communicating complex technical and program information to leadership and cross-functional teams.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college.
• Minimum of 7 years of relevant work experience with demonstrated MR hardware knowledge and experience supporting products through the full product lifecycle.
• Experience designing, developing, integrating, or leading complex hardware systems within a regulated industry, preferably medical devices.
• Demonstrated experience leading or influencing cross-functional teams through product development and commercialization activities.
• Experience working within structured program lifecycle processes and governance frameworks.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Engineering or related technical discipline.
• Prior experience in the medical device industry.
• Prior experience with MR hardware systems and technologies.
• Demonstrated breadth of knowledge across MR hardware systems, subsystem interfaces, systems integration, and product development processes.
• Deep understanding of hardware integration methodologies, technical interfaces, engineering lifecycles, and emerging technology trends.
• Strong strategic thinking capability with the ability to connect technical decisions to customer, business, and product outcomes.
• Proven ability to make sound judgments and solve complex technical and operational challenges through analytical and data-driven decision-making.
• Recognized as a technical mentor and trusted advisor who develops others, influences without authority, and fosters a collaborative, high-performing team environment.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and consensus-building skills across global and cross-functional organizations.
• Experience leading moderate to large-scale integration efforts with significant technical complexity, business impact, and organizational visibility.
• Established project management skills and experience working within Agile environments.
