Staff Engineer - Systems Design - Surgical Planning

Work Flexibility: Hybrid

What you will do:

• Lead the system design and technical realization of Hip Surgical Planning capabilities from concept through product release and lifecycle management.
• Understand Hip implant design philosophies and CAD models, translating implant geometry and surgical intent into planning workflows, including planar and volumetric haptics.
• Apply knowledge of CT, X-ray and MRI to develop image-based approaches for patient anatomy visualization, measurement, implant positioning and surgical planning.
• Translate user, clinical and business needs into system and subsystem requirements, specifications, interfaces and traceability.
• Perform system decomposition and allocate requirements across software, imaging, algorithms, robotics, implants and hardware.
• Lead system architecture, feasibility studies, design trade-offs, technical/design reviews and integration activities.
• Ensure requirements and system design are correctly implemented by multidisciplinary development teams and the Agile Release Train.
• Drive Design for Quality, Reliability, Safety and Serviceability and lead system-level safety/risk-management activities for regulated medical devices.
• Participate in surgeon engagements and cadaveric evaluations, translating clinical feedback into requirements and design improvements.

Work Flexibility

• Remote – Role allows you to work the majority to 100% of time from an alternate workplace. These roles could have travel expectations, and you must work within the country of the job requisition location.

• Field-based – You can expect to regularly work a majority to 100% of time at customer facilities and has a set territory or expectation to travel within a set boundary. Almost all sales roles would likely be qualified as field-based.

• Onsite – Role is 100% located at a Stryker facility. Some ad hoc flexibility may be available depending on role, level, and job requirements. Manufacturing roles and any role that requires physical presence at the office would qualify under this category.

• Hybrid – You can expect to regularly work in both an alternate workplace and a Stryker facility. Roles that are partially remote or co-located would qualify as hybrid, and the expectation to be onsite would be defined and agreed upon by your manager/supervisor.
