What this job asks for AI summary
A software quality systems role at Stryker focused on SDLC governance, compliance readiness, and risk management for digital, SaaS, cloud-based, and connected products — not software testing. The engineer will develop and improve quality procedures, support audits against frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FDA regulations, and embed quality and risk practices into Agile and DevOps environments. Strong cross-functional influence across R&D, security, regulatory, and operations teams is central to the work.

Why we read it this way (6)
The title is 'Senior Staff Software Quality Assurance Engineer,' which is an unusual compound level. The advertised level is read as Senior (the first modifier in the title); however, the actual scope — cross-portfolio quality-system leadership, influencing multiple R&D teams without direct authority, and setting org-wide processes — supports a Staff-level classification.
This role is explicitly NOT software testing or test execution; it is a quality-systems, SDLC governance, and compliance role. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the audit/compliance emphasis, but the primary work is quality-system governance rather than security analysis.
The posting lists pay ranges across multiple US geographic tiers (Puerto Rico through US30). The figures shown ($118,000–$255,700) represent the full span across all tiers; the applicable range for any individual hire depends on their specific work location.
All regulatory frameworks and tools (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FDA, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, CI/CD, DevOps, Agile) appear exclusively under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section and are therefore marked as preferred.
No specific work location city is stated; the posting covers the entire United States with location-based pay tiers. Remote status is unspecified in the posting and has been set to false as a conservative default.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): 21 CFR Part 11.
