Senior Systems Engineer

About the Role

At ResMed, we create connected devices and digital health solutions that help millions of people sleep, breathe, and live better lives.

We’re looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to join our Devices Systems team and play a key role in the development of our next generation of products.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll work closely with product, clinical, software, algorithm, electronics, mechanical, and verification teams to translate user and business needs into robust system solutions. You’ll help guide products from concept through to verification and submission, ensuring they deliver safe, effective, and high-quality outcomes for patients around the world.

You’ll be part of a collaborative Systems Engineering community and will have opportunities to influence product strategy, technical direction, systems engineering practices, and the development of other engineers across the organisation.

Let’s Talk About Responsibilities

In this role you will:

• Translate user, clinical, business, and regulatory needs into system requirements, risk assessments, and technical solutions
• Lead requirements management activities, ensuring traceability from design inputs through to verification and validation
• Develop system architectures, interface definitions, and design strategies that enable successful product integration and compliance with global regulations and standards
• Collaborate closely with software, algorithm, electronics, mechanical, verification, and clinical teams to develop integrated system solutions
• Lead and facilitate system-level risk management activities, hazard analysis, and the definition of appropriate safety controls
• Support and influence technical decision-making across multidisciplinary teams, helping balance technical, user, business, and regulatory considerations
• Drive resolution of complex technical issues through structured problem solving, root cause analysis, and collaboration with subject matter experts
• Support demonstration of product performance through evidence-based verification and validation activities
• Communicate technical progress, key decisions, risks, and recommendations to project teams, technical leaders, and senior stakeholders
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of systems engineering tools, processes, and ways of working across the organisation
• Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers, helping build systems engineering capability within the team

Let’s Talk About Qualifications and Experience

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics, Software, Biomedical, or a related Engineering discipline
• 5+ years of experience in systems, product development, or engineering roles, ideally within medical devices or other regulated industries
• Strong understanding of systems engineering practices, including requirements management, risk management, verification, validation, and traceability
• Experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical documentation skills
• Familiarity with medical device development processes, regulatory requirements, and quality management systems

Preferred

• Experience working with software-intensive or connected medical devices
• Familiarity with software and algorithm development, integration, and verification activities
• Experience with engineering development tools such as JIRA, Jama, Confluence, or similar platforms
• Experience mentoring engineers or providing technical leadership within project teams

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Enjoy solving complex technical problems at the system level
• Are comfortable working across disciplines and influencing without direct authority
• Can balance strategic thinking with delivery-focused execution
• Take ownership and help drive clarity in ambiguous situations
• Enjoy mentoring and supporting the growth of other engineers
• Are passionate about developing technologies that improve patient outcomes and user experiences

Culture Fit

We’re a cross-disciplinary team where expertise comes in many forms. Some bring strong engineering instincts and systems thinking, while others contribute deep knowledge in hardware, software, or the business domain. The best work happens when these perspectives come together to solve problems at the system level, balancing technical, user, and business considerations.

We value humility, curiosity, collaborative problem-solving, and the ability to learn from anyone on the team — regardless of title or background.

Joining us is more than saying “yes” to making the world a healthier place. It’s discovering a career that’s challenging, supportive and inspiring.
