Ideally they are also looking for medical device industry experience. This is a systems engineer NOT a software engineer. They need to have both firmware and hardware system experience. Our client is a globally-distinguished medical device manufacturer who specializes in the development and commercialization of innovative medical devices to improve patient lives around the world. Our client currently needs a Systems Engineer, specifically referred to as a BLE Telemetry System Designer to support the development and design of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) telemetry systems used in medical devices.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) telemetry systems for medical devices, ensuring compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices
- Collaborate with hardware and firmware engineers to define system requirements and develop specifications for BLE-based communication protocols
- Conduct feasibility studies and evaluate different hardware and software solutions to identify the most suitable options for BLE integration
- Create detailed system architecture and design documentation, including block diagrams, flowcharts, and interface specifications
- Develop and implement software algorithms and protocols for data transmission, synchronization, and error handling within the BLE telemetry system
- Perform system-level testing and verification, including integration testing and troubleshooting of hardware and software components
- Collaborate with external vendors and suppliers to source and evaluate BLE modules, sensors, and other components required for the telemetry system
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of the BLE telemetry system into the overall medical device design
Qualifications
- BS Degree Minimum, and 4-7 years of Medical Device experience (or other manufacturing industry equivalent)
- Proven experience in designing and developing BLE telemetry systems for medical devices or a related industry
- Proficiency in software development using programming languages such as C, C++, or Python
- Familiarity with wireless communication technologies and protocols (e.g., Wi-Fi, Zigbee, NFC)
- Experience in hardware and firmware integration, including circuit design, PCB layout, and debugging
- Solid understanding of medical device regulations and standards, such as ISO 13485 and FDA guidelines
Preferred Skills
- Experience with wireless medical device connectivity and interoperability standards, such as IEEE 11073
- Familiarity with data encryption and security protocols for BLE communication in medical devices
- Knowledge of embedded systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
- Experience with software development tools and methodologies, such as Agile or Scrum
- Familiarity with medical device risk management processes, including hazard analysis and mitigations
