Global, user-driven innovation – from idea to launch
As a Systems Engineer at Ambu, you will act as the technical subject matter expert for the medical product under development and be accountable for the technical solution. You will maintain the high-level technical overview, enabling collaboration between subject matter experts, team members, and stakeholders.

You will assist the Lead Systems Engineer (Technical Lead) in large, complex development projects or serve as the systems engineer/technical lead in smaller line-extension projects—driving and owning the technical solution and making trade-off decisions when needed. You will also create, facilitate, and review product documentation such as user needs, requirements, design inputs, design outputs, and technical reviews.

You will be part of the global Systems Engineering team and report to the Systems Engineering Team Manager. The position is based in Augsburg, Germany, but applicants for Ballerup, Denmark will also be considered.

This role requires strong expertise in integrating electronics with hardware and mechanical systems. Familiarity with software development principles is highly advantageous.

Your Responsibilities

• Support, define, plan, document, and technically manage product development activities to ensure delivery in accordance with design objectives and development plans.
• Identify and understand user needs through engagement with key stakeholders.
• Analyze and decompose user needs, business needs, and system requirements into product requirements, including design control and development requirements.
• Lead technical decision-making, balancing trade-offs between electronics, mechanics, and software.
• Assist in building and leading the technical team in coordination with the Lead Systems Engineer, Project Manager, and Line Managers.
• Align and reuse product architecture and design solutions within the R&D organization.
• Investigate and scope new products within existing or new clinical areas based on Ambu's technology and capabilities.
• Establish and maintain the technical overview, including interfaces and compromises between technologies.
• Work, document, and test according to FDA and ISO requirements.
