What this job asks for AI summary
A senior quality engineering role at an early-stage medical device startup focused on brain-computer interfaces. The position centers on building and maintaining a Quality Management System, supporting design history files, leading risk management activities such as FMEA and hazard analysis, and overseeing software verification and validation — all within a heavily regulated environment (FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971). Best suited to an experienced quality or medical device engineer comfortable operating across multiple disciplines in an ambiguous, fast-moving setting.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role may be remote or at an undisclosed office — hiring managers should confirm.
The role sits at the intersection of quality/regulatory engineering and software QA. SOC 15-1253 (Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers) is the best fit given the emphasis on software V&V, IEC 62304, and design verification/validation; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the QMS implementation and systems-analysis aspects.
Most skills here are regulatory standards and quality-process frameworks rather than discrete software tools. They are listed under the primary Qualifications section and treated as hard gates accordingly.
eQMS (electronic Quality Management System tools) is listed under 'Other Qualifications' — a secondary section — and is therefore treated as preferred rather than required.
AI/ML experience is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting and is marked preferred.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering'; Bachelor's is the minimum hard-required level.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Risk Management.
