Job Level
About the role
- Define and lead end-to-end system architecture across embedded devices, connectivity layers, cloud services, analytics platforms, and healthcare integrations
- Decompose complex systems into domains, services, and works with clear architectural ownership, responsibilities, and lifecycle boundaries
- Define interface contracts, data models, and message flows using industry standards such as HL7, IHE, FHIR, JSON, and XML
- Ensure architectural consistency and reuse across platforms while supporting product-specific constraints and regulatory contexts
- Drive architectural tradeoff decisions balancing safety, performance, scalability, maintainability, and regulatory risk
- Provide architectural leadership across RTOS-based embedded systems running on ARM platforms
- Define cohesive device, edge, and cloud interaction models, including buffering, resilience, fault handling, and offline behavior
- Architect cloud-based solutions using Azure and AWS, including event-driven, service-oriented, and data pipeline architectures
- Guide technology selection and evolution while ensuring backward compatibility and long-term maintainability
- Define system architectures that enable AI and advanced analytics across interoperability data, device telemetry, alarms, and clinical workflow signals
- Partner with data science teams to define data quality requirements, labeling strategies, model lifecycle management, and deployment boundaries (edge vs cloud)
- Define cybersecurity architecture aligned with NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, FIPS, HIPAA, and FDA guidance
- Ensure system architecture supports verification, validation, and traceability across all architectural layers.
