Senior Integration and Support Engineer

Description

About you :

You are a cross-disciplinary Senior Integration and Support Engineer with significant experience in in-vitro diagnostics or similarly complex integrated products. You think in terms of complete systems—mechatronics, microfluidics, biochemical interactions, electronics, and software and enjoy being the person who sees how all the pieces fit together. You are comfortable moving between architecture, experiments, and detailed debugging, and you thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where rigor, documentation, and collaboration are essential.

What you'll do :

• Design, develop, and optimize system-level features and applications for Vital Bio’s flagship VitalOne platform, including automated failure detection, reliability-enhancing functions, and usability features.
• Enable smooth and uninterrupted R&D work by maintaining high uptime of all Vital instrumentation through mechanical, electrical, firmware and software issues.
• Develop and evaluate prototypes to de-risk key technical questions, characterize system behavior, and inform design trade-offs.
• Plan and execute detailed development, characterization, and performance verification activities for new system applications, using data to drive decisions.
• Work with design teams to integrate new features and technologies into the existing system architecture, ensuring compatibility, robustness, and serviceability.
• Act as a key stakeholder in scoping, designing, and implementing interfaces between sub-assemblies and subsystems (mechanical, fluidic, optical, electronic, and software) based on clear engineering specifications.
• Ensure system-level work complies with relevant regulatory standards and quality processes (e.g., design controls, risk management, V&V expectations for IVD / medical devices). Maintain accurate, complete, and contemporaneous records of all service activities in compliance with cGMP and ISO quality system requirements, including service reports, spare-parts usage, equipment history, and documentation updates.
• Identify recurring or systemic failure modes across field deployments and perform structured root cause analysis to drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Contribute to high-quality documentation, including system requirements, architecture and interface specifications, design descriptions, and test protocols / reports.
