Systems Engineers for Medical Device Development (all levels welcome)

Are you ready to play a key role in Novo Nordisk’s development projects and help improve patient outcomes? Would you like to develop the next generation of medical devices for a variety of chronic diseases? Do you want to use your engineering background to design medical devices and bring them from development to the market?

If so, then we encourage you to apply today to become our new systems engineer!

The Position

As our new systems engineer, you will play a leading role in the development of a medical device project through all stages of the product lifecycle. You will be responsible for accurately defining the device requirements and assuring that these requirements are met by the device. You will keep a holistic and structured view of the device during the development process, and you will need to solve interdisciplinary challenges that occur during that process. 

You will work in close collaboration with e.g. regulatory affairs, risk managers, mechanical engineers, software and hardware engineers, project managers, development manufacturing, UX and graphical designers, and you will play an important role in connecting these stakeholders across professional areas of expertise.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Establishment of user needs and systems requirements
• Verification planning and reporting
• Executing on design control activities during development
• Conducting thorough and detailed analyses of critical system issues
• Aligning with stakeholders across the organization to reach decisions and ensure progress

As an individual, you are excited about improvement initiatives and process work. You lead by example, inspiring and motivating your colleagues.

Qualifications

To be a great asset to our team you should have:

• A bachelor's or master’s degree in biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a similar field
• Be fluent in English (both written and spoken)
• Experience working within project management for internal and cross-functional improvement projects
• Previous experience with design control processes and knowledge of industry standards and regulations such as ISO 13485 and the MDD or MDR (if you have worked with medical devices)
• Successfully taken a product from concept to product launch and demonstrated proficiency in requirements tools, e.g., Modern Requirements
• Managed complexity of multiple platforms and variants through Product Line Engineering, Configuration Management, and/or Variability Modeling

As a person, you are analytical, structured, demonstrate attention to detail, while keeping the overview of the system you are engineering. You thrive in a dynamic and changing environment and are not afraid of voicing your opinion and challenging status quo on our processes. You are a strong team player recognized for your interpersonal skills. You bring a "can do" spirit, a healthy common sense and a good sense of humor to your work.
