Job responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the assessment and remediation of existing system and software requirements for regulated medical devices. Define and execute the requirements and traceability remediation strategy. Review existing software Design History File documentation and identify missing, incomplete, inconsistent, or obsolete artifacts. Identify gaps between intended product behavior, existing implementation, system requirements, software requirements, risk controls, and verification evidence.
• Establish and maintain complete bidirectional traceability between: user and stakeholder needs; system requirements; software requirements; software architecture and detailed design; hazards and software-related risks; risk-control measures; verification and validation test cases; defects, deviations, and change requests.
• Lead the creation, clarification, decomposition, and improvement of system and software requirements. Ensure requirements are clear, testable, unambiguous, consistent, feasible, uniquely identified, and traceable. Define requirements attributes, review criteria, traceability rules, and approval workflows. Coordinate requirements reviews with software, systems, quality, regulatory, clinical, and test stakeholders. Ensure risk-control requirements are properly represented in the requirements baseline and verified through objective evidence. Support the reconstruction and maintenance of requirements traceability matrices. Ensure that DHF documentation is complete, internally consistent, audit-ready, and aligned with actual product implementation. Lead impact analysis for requirements changes, defects, anomalies, and product updates. Support investigation and resolution of discrepancies between documented requirements and existing software behavior. Collaborate with verification teams to identify missing or insufficient test coverage. Ensure that verification results provide adequate evidence for applicable system and software requirements. Define and track remediation metrics, priorities, dependencies, risks, and completion status. Provide technical direction and mentoring to systems and requirements engineers. Coordinate work across customer and distributed engineering teams. Communicate documentation risks, compliance gaps, project status, and remediation progress to engineering and quality leadership. Support internal and external audits and provide technical explanations of the requirements and traceability approach. Contribute to improvements in requirements engineering, change control, risk management, and software lifecycle processes.
