Job Description:
Systems Engineer, Associate
📍 Location: Tucson, AZ (100% Onsite)
🕒 Duration: 1 Year (Extendable)
🏭 Work Environment: Onsite, within a regulated medical device manufacturing facility
About the Role
We are looking for an Associate Systems Engineer to join our highly skilled engineering team in Tucson, Arizona. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, fluidic, and software systems—supporting innovative medical instruments that make a difference in patient care every day.
As a member of a multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for applying systems engineering principles to maintain, enhance, and optimize on-market medical products. Your work will directly impact system reliability, manufacturing processes, and product performance. You’ll engage in hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and process improvement activities within a regulated, quality-driven environment, gaining exposure to the full product lifecycle—from concept to commercialization and post-market support.
This role is ideal for an early-career engineer with a foundation in systems thinking, electro-mechanical analysis, and problem-solving who thrives in a collaborative, technical, and process-oriented workplace. It combines the rigor of regulated medical device engineering with the creativity of innovation and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
1. Systems Testing and Analysis
Plan and conduct system-level and unit-level testing of medical instruments to verify functionality, reliability, and performance.
Perform system interaction analyses, studying how electrical, mechanical, software, and fluidic subsystems integrate to achieve intended results.
Use data-driven methods to identify performance variations or design weaknesses and propose effective corrective actions.
Support test fixture setup, data collection, and validation procedures according to design control standards.
Collaborate with senior engineers to develop and execute structured test plans, test protocols, and data documentation for design verification and validation activities.
2. Process Optimization
Participate in the development and refinement of manufacturing and assembly processes for complex medical instruments.
Identify opportunities to reduce variability, increase yield, and improve process efficiency.
Work closely with cross-functional teams—manufacturing, quality, and R&D—to drive improvements using engineering tools such as FMEA, DOE, and root cause analysis.
Assist in implementing process updates or changes while ensuring compliance with regulatory and quality standards (FDA, ISO 13485).
3. Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis
Investigate and resolve technical issues that arise in production or in the field.
Conduct failure analysis, interpret results, and recommend engineering or process changes.
Support the development of corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and document findings according to internal procedures.
Work hands-on with equipment, fixtures, and instrumentation to replicate issues and validate fixes.
Interface with internal customers (production teams, field service, quality assurance) to identify trends and implement lasting solutions.
4. Technical Documentation and Reporting
Prepare technical reports, risk assessments, and validation summaries to document design and process findings.
Develop and maintain accurate engineering records in compliance with Good Documentation Practices (GDP).
Support risk management activities, including updating design failure mode and effects analyses (DFMEA) and process FMEAs (PFMEA).
Ensure that all work complies with Quality Management System (QMS) and design control requirements.
5. Communication and Collaboration
Present experimental data, test results, and recommendations to cross-functional engineering and management teams.
Contribute to project meetings, design reviews, and technical discussions to provide input on design improvements and manufacturing challenges.
Coordinate with R&D engineers, manufacturing engineers, and product support teams to align objectives and drive continuous improvement.
Maintain open communication with internal stakeholders, ensuring clarity and transparency in all technical exchanges.
6. Innovation and Intellectual Property
Support patent development activities by documenting technical concepts, experimental results, and novel solutions.
Assist senior engineers in conducting technical literature research to stay updated with emerging technologies, best practices, and competitive designs.
Contribute to brainstorming sessions and ideation workshops aimed at improving existing systems or developing new system functionalities.
7. Quality and Compliance
Promote and uphold a “Quality First Time” culture throughout all tasks and interactions.
Ensure that engineering activities align with relevant regulatory requirements for medical device design, verification, and validation.
Participate in internal and external audits, providing technical documentation as requested.
Follow all safety, environmental, and quality protocols within the lab and manufacturing environments.
8. Continuous Improvement
Identify and propose opportunities to enhance system performance, usability, and manufacturability.
Leverage lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles to drive efficiency gains.
Support cross-functional initiatives aimed at improving reliability, reducing costs, and increasing throughput.
Participate in lessons-learned sessions and implement best practices across ongoing and future projects.
Skills and Competencies
To excel in this role, the candidate should demonstrate a blend of technical expertise, system-level understanding, and strong communication skills.
Technical Skills
Electro-mechanical systems knowledge: Understanding of how electrical, mechanical, and software components integrate within complex medical devices.
Testing and measurement: Experience in setting up and conducting system-level or component-level testing.
Root cause analysis: Ability to diagnose problems methodically and propose actionable solutions.
Data analysis and documentation: Proficiency in analyzing test data, creating reports, and maintaining documentation aligned with regulated standards.
Software skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and familiarity with data analysis tools such as Minitab, JMP, or MATLAB.
Technical writing: Ability to create clear, concise, and well-structured technical documents.
