As a Design Controls Engineer, you will be primarily responsible for designing, implementing, and continually enhancing software-focused design control systems, embedding regulatory compliance into their architecture.
Your role will involve creating systems that eliminate ambiguity, minimize manual processes, and enable the efficient development of regulated medical device software. These systems will encompass the entire software lifecycle, from requirements definition through verification, validation, risk management, and product release.
You will also focus on optimizing these systems to enhance speed, traceability, and audit readiness, all while accommodating rapid development timelines and frequent design changes. Your duties will include, but are not limited to:
- Designing and implementing scalable software design control systems that comply with IEC 62304 and FDA design control requirements (21 CFR 820.30)
- Developing and maintaining comprehensive traceability frameworks that link:
- User needs
- Software requirements
- Risk controls
- Design outputs (including code and architecture)
- Verification and validation evidence
- Integrating software risk management into design controls, ensuring alignment with ISO 14971 principles
- Establishing change control mechanisms to support ongoing development efforts
