Careers that Change Lives
As the Lead Systems Integrator you will be a technical leader for developing next generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring solutions for helping people living with diabetes. You will lead the effort to establish the architecture in the Systems Engineering Organization of Product Innovation, enabling future iteration and feature expansion with a focus on designing components for extensibility and reuse. You will accomplish this through working closely with technical teams to understand technology capabilities as they relate to meeting the goals of the business and working closely with cross functional partners on Core Teams to understand future technology/features needed by the market.

As a part of the Lead Systems Integrator job, you will represent the R&D function on cross functional core teams. You will establish the trade-off space for a product development program through building consensus amongst business and technical teams regarding scope and feature/performance prioritization. You will work with the technical functions to identify areas of technical risk and ensure that sufficient de-risking activities are on-going so that Core Team programs meet the intended scope and schedule.
