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.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field
  • 15+ years of experience in software, systems, or integration architecture, with demonstrated leadership in healthcare or medical device interoperability

  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to reason across devices, software, data, users, and clinical workflows
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence without authority
  • Deep expertise in system and software architecture, architectural patterns, and domain-driven design
  • Strong experience with embedded RTOS-based systems integrated into enterprise and cloud ecosystems
  • Experience with interoperability standards including HL7, IHE, FHIR, JSON, and XML
  • Programming experience in C, C++, Python, JavaScript, or similar languages
  • Hands-on or architectural experience with AI, analytics, or data platforms in regulated or safety-critical systems
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST, OWASP, MITRE, and FIPS
  • Experience working in Agile or hybrid development environments.
