What this job asks for AI summary
A systems engineering role focused on hardware within a medical device team building EEG-based, at-home sleep and brain health monitoring products. The position covers the full product development lifecycle — from defining system and subsystem requirements through verification, validation, risk management, and manufacturing transfer — while coordinating across hardware, firmware, software, and algorithm teams. Best suited to engineers with experience on complex electromechanical systems, ideally in regulated or medical device environments.
Senior level · 5+ years · Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH · Bachelor's required · Full-time

Why we read it this way (6)
This role is a hardware-focused Systems Engineer for a medical device company. It does not map cleanly to any single SOC code: 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit for a systems integration/engineering role spanning hardware, firmware, and software; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the runner-up given the requirements analysis, traceability, and V&V focus.
The 5+ years requirement applies to candidates with a BS degree; 3+ years is accepted with an MS degree — 5 is used as the minimum for the BS path.
Git, JIRA, GitHub, and OpenBOM are all listed under an explicit 'Preferred' heading.
Experience with medical device design controls, regulatory standards (e.g. FDA 510(k)), and manufacturing transfer are listed as preferred, not hard gates — they are framed as 'Preferred: Familiarity with…' and 'Preferred: Experience developing medical devices…' and are therefore not captured as required skills.
The role is described as 'hybrid based in Boston,' so remote=false is set despite the company's broader remote-friendly culture.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, risk management, root cause analysis.
