About the role:

This role supports the Project Manager and Architect in maintaining system engineering-related documentation and coordination for a medical device software project. The role is not intended to carry full end-to-end responsibility for System Engineering activities. Instead, it provides structured support for Design History File (DHF) maintenance, architecture and requirements documentation, traceability, release readiness, and audit preparation.

The role works closely with the Project Manager, Architect, QA/RA, Risk Management, Verification and Validation, and development stakeholders to ensure documentation is complete, consistent, traceable, and aligned with applicable QMS and regulatory expectations.

Areas of responsibility:

1. DHF and Documentation Support

Support the Project Manager and Architect in maintaining a complete, consistent, and audit-ready DHF. This includes coordination of design inputs and outputs, architecture documentation, traceability matrices, risk-related evidence, verification and validation evidence, and release documentation.

Help ensure documentation is properly structured, versioned, reviewed, approved, and stored in accordance with QMS expectations and project procedures.

2. System Definition and Architecture Support

Support the Architect in maintaining system-level architecture, subsystem decomposition, software component descriptions, system boundaries, and key design decisions. Assist in translating user needs and stakeholder inputs into structured, testable requirements.

3. Traceability, Risk, and V&V Support

Support traceability between user needs, requirements, architecture, risks, verification, and validation evidence. Contribute to risk management documentation in accordance with ISO 14971 and help ensure risk controls are linked to requirements and objective evidence.

Assist QA, Risk Management, and V&V stakeholders in maintaining documentation needed to demonstrate that requirements are verified, user needs are validated, and safety-related considerations are addressed.

4. Release Readiness and Audit Preparation

Support release readiness by helping confirm that required documentation, approvals, traceability, V&V evidence, and DHF records are complete and aligned before release. Support audit preparation by identifying documentation gaps, inconsistencies, and missing evidence early.

5. Coordination and Decision Support

Prepare structured inputs, options, documentation overviews, and evidence summaries to support decisions by the Project Manager and Architect. Work independently on assigned documentation and coordination topics while escalating decisions that require formal project or technical ownership.

Expected Outcomes

• DHF is complete, consistent, traceable, release-ready, and audit-ready.

• Architecture, requirements, risk, and V&V documentation are aligned and maintained.

• Documentation gaps and traceability issues are identified and addressed early.

• Project Manager and Architect receive clear, structured support for technical and compliance-related decisions.

Required Experience

• Experience supporting regulated product development, preferably in medical device software.

• Understanding of design controls, DHF structure, requirements engineering, system architecture, traceability, and release documentation.

• Working knowledge of ISO 14971 risk management and medical device QMS expectations.

• Experience coordinating cross-functional documentation across engineering, QA/RA, risk management, and V&V stakeholders.
