Partner with the Safety & Risk Engineer and the local Install Base Engineer to apply ISO 14971 throughout the product lifecycle, covering hazard identification, risk analysis, risk control strategies, benefit‑risk justification, and final safety sign‑off. Maintain and update product Cause & Mitigation Tables (CMT) to ensure all mitigations remain effective and implemented, incorporating post‑market feedback and periodic review inputs in a timely manner.
Lead product‑safety‑related interactions with Notified Bodies (NB), including owning safety document submissions, preparing technical safety justifications, responding to NB questions or nonconformities, and representing product safety as a SME during NB audits and technical file reviews.
Own the definition, flowdown, and verification of product safety requirements, ensuring they are appropriately incorporated during concept development, requirements definition, architecture decisions, NPI, design changes, and sustaining activities.
Act as the local expert for IEC 60601‑2‑37, IEC 60601‑1, IEC 60601‑1‑2, and related ultrasound safety standards, providing authoritative interpretation and ensuring compliance across design and verification activities.
Drive resolution of safety‑critical issues, including investigation of safety escalations, evaluation of field data, review of design changes, and leadership of cross-functional safety assessments and safety‑impact decisions.
Provide safety engineering leadership for audits, inspections, design reviews, and regulatory submissions, ensuring safety documentation is complete, accurate, and compliant with global regulatory expectations.
Mentor and develop engineers and support personnel, building safety engineering capability through training, coaching, and technical guidance on standards, safety analyses, and test methodology.
Monitor and interpret evolving global regulations and safety standards, assessing their impact on product development and work proactively with the Safety & Risk Engineer to integrate new requirements into organizational processes and designs.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or related technical discipline and 5+ years of medical device development experience;
OR 10+ years in medical device engineering/compliance with at least 3 years of hands-on IEC compliance and safety testing experience.
Demonstrated expertise in IEC 60601 series, IEC 60601‑2‑37, IEC 60529, and other applicable medical electrical equipment standards.
Strong working knowledge of ISO 14971, including experience leading or contributing to formal device risk management activities.
Proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams, influence technical decisions, and communicate complex safety concepts across diverse technical and cultural environments.

Desired Characteristics

Familiarity with GE HealthCare’s QMS, design control processes, and product development workflows.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, drive complex technical issues to closure, and make sound safety‑critical decisions under time constraints.
