Partner with engineering, clinical, quality, regulatory, manufacturing, service, product management, and marketing teams to deliver safe, reliable, compliant, and manufacturable Infant Care solutions. Lead system‑level problem solving in neonatal care environments, ensuring performance, usability, safety, serviceability, reliability, and compatibility across subsystems and accessories. Develop and execute system integration, verification, and validation strategies that demonstrate product performance, risk control effectiveness, and readiness for regulatory submission and commercial release. Identify, assess, and communicate technical risks, schedule impacts, and design tradeoffs; recommend practical mitigation plans that support program priorities and patient safety. Provide technical leadership to systems engineers and cross‑functional partners by aligning priorities, removing ambiguity, and maintaining engineering rigor. Support quality, regulatory, and compliance activities, including design reviews, audits, corrective and preventive actions, and responses to field or customer issues. Maintain focus on clinician workflow, newborn safety, caregiver usability, and scalable platforms that support multi‑generational Infant Care product development. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field. Minimum 6 years of engineering experience in medical device, healthcare technology, regulated product development, or a related field. Minimum 3 years of experience supporting product development and design controls, including requirements management, risk management, verification, validation, and design reviews. Experience translating customer, clinical, regulatory, and business needs into system requirements, architecture, interfaces, and verification strategies. Experience supporting usability engineering or human factors activities, including workflow analysis, use‑related risk, formative evaluation, summative validation, or usability‑related design inputs. Working knowledge of complex electromechanical, software‑enabled, or connected medical device systems and subsystem interactions. Willingness to work on site a minimum of 4 days per week with the development team in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Legal authorization to work in the U.S.; no visa sponsorship. Desired Characteristics Experience developing medical devices for neonatal, maternal infant care, patient monitoring, respiratory care, life support, or other safety‑critical clinical environments. Strong systems engineering experience with electromechanical, software‑enabled, or sensor‑based products. Familiarity with applicable medical device standards, including IEC 60601‑1, IEC 60601‑2‑19, IEC 60601‑2‑21, and IEC 62366‑1. Experience applying usability engineering or human factors principles to clinical workflows, use‑related risk, formative studies, or summative validation. Ability to lead technical decisions, resolve ambiguity, manage tradeoffs, and communicate recommendations clearly across cross‑functional teams. Experience with reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, cybersecurity, connectivity, embedded systems, or other regulated product development considerations. Familiarity with GE HealthCare quality systems, design control processes, or Infant Care product platforms is a plus. EEO and Legal Considerations GE HealthCare is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
