Responsibilities
As a Systems Engineer within the Clinical team, your responsibilities will include:
1. Contributing to the development of Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) Systems for the Clinical Business Unit. You will play a critical role in defining our products: translating voice of customer into requirements, and ensuring that developments based on those requirements result in safe and effective products.
2. Collaboration with and support of product owners in understanding & defining a system context and in developing and defining user requirements.
3. Close collaboration with a cross functional team of Subject Matter Experts from Hardware and Software Engineering teams to generate system designs/architectures.
4. Ownership of system verification and validation documents to provide test evidence that system design requirements have been met.
5. Taking a lead role in the development and support of existing Waters Clinical systems and technologies.
6. Active promotion of the use of systems engineering tools, process and practices, including modelling or simulation of emergent system behaviour where appropriate.
7. Working within our process and regulatory frameworks, and ensuring that consideration of risk and patient safety are at the core of our products.
