We seek a versatile Systems Engineer for our Linear Accelerator Systems group, supporting radiation-producing subsystems in oncology machines. Responsibilities include contributing to architecture, managing requirements and verification and leading integration. Candidates need broad engineering and physics knowledge, hands-on design and troubleshooting experience, and strong communication, project management, and cross-functional coordination skills. This will be an on-site role in the Palo Alto office with travel requirements to the Mountain View facility.
Job Description:
We are looking for a versatile and well-rounded Systems Engineer to join our Linear Accelerator Systems group, which is responsible for the radiation producing subsystem on our Radiation Oncology machines.
The candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of microwave, electrical, mechanical, materials, and servo algorithm engineers. The role involves contributing to the design and definition of the architecture of the radiation producing sub-system; defining, managing, and verifying system requirements; resolving technical system integration challenges; coordinating cross-functional technical activities; and ensuring hardware, software, and serviceability considerations are successfully integrated.
This position calls for strong systems thinking, excellent communication and project management skills, and the ability to resolve technically complex issues in a multidisciplinary environment.
The ideal candidate combines breadth and depth in physics, electrical, mechanical and control systems engineering with hands-on experience in system-level design and troubleshooting. The ability to collaborate effectively in a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional team is essential, as is the ability to efficiently manage project timelines and supplier collaborations in a fast-paced environment. Experience executing these deliverables in a regulated environment and familiarity with Product Life Cycle Management is a big plus.
Responsibilities
Contribute to the design and definition of the radiation producing subsystem architecture; define, maintain, and manage system and subsystem requirements, specifications, interfaces, and verification strategies.
Lead system integration activities and drive resolution of complex technical issues across hardware, software, manufacturing, service, and supplier interfaces.
Coordinate cross-functional technical efforts throughout the product lifecycle, from concept development through product release and sustaining engineering.
Develop and execute system-level test plans, analyze results, and ensure traceability between requirements, design, and verification activities.
Support product risk management activities, including root cause analysis, failure investigations, and implementation of corrective actions.
Evaluate technical tradeoffs involving performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, quality, schedule, and cost.
Drive technical projects and ensure alignment across engineering disciplines, suppliers, product management, manufacturing, quality, and field organizations.
Communicate technical recommendations, decisions, and results effectively to stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
Qualifications
BS, MS, or PhD in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
Proven experience in system design, integration, verification, and troubleshooting of complex multidisciplinary products.
Strong understanding of electrical, mechanical, control system, and physics fundamentals,…
