Superconducting Magnet System Engineer

We are looking for a Senior or Principal Superconducting Magnet System Engineer to join our Architecture and Systems Engineering Group as an additional headcount. Sitting at the heart of our MR magnet development, you will have subsystem responsibility and play a pivotal role in strengthening the requirements engineering within the team. You will treat the superconducting magnet as a complete system - understanding how subsystems, modules and interfaces come together, and how local design decisions integrate seamlessly with global system requirements, including those defined by our colleagues in Erlangen. This role offers technical influence, visibility, and the chance to shape how systems engineering is applied across the magnet lifecycle. What you'll be doing

• Defining, owning and managing subsystem requirements for superconducting magnet systems, ensuring full traceability from system to design and test
• Working closely with specialists to gather product requirements, understand design specifications, and define verification and validation strategies
• Decomposing system-level requirements into subsystem, module and interface requirements, ensuring alignment with overall MR system architecture
• Acting as a technical lead for your subsystem, balancing performance, quality, reuse and compliance within a regulated medical device environment
• Driving integration readiness by coordinating interfaces and ensuring subsystems work together as a coherent system
• Supporting verification, validation, and product release activities, ensuring designs are robust, testable and compliant
• Collaborating across disciplines and geographies, including global partners, to deliver aligned, high-quality engineering outcomes
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of systems engineering processes and standards within the organisation
  
  A degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline
• Strong experience in systems engineering, with requirements engineering as a core strength
• A track record of working on complex, multidisciplinary systems, ideally in regulated or safety-critical environments
• Confidence in treating products as integrated systems, understanding subsystems, interfaces and lifecycle impacts
• Experience translating stakeholder and system needs into clear, testable requirements
• The ability to work collaboratively, influence without authority, and communicate complex technical topics clearly
• Experience with requirements management tools (e.g. Polarion or similar) and exposure to MR systems or superconducting magnet technology is beneficial, but not essential
  
  At Siemens Healthineers, we pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare for everyone. Everywhere. Sustainably.
Our work helps clinicians make confident decisions and enables better patient outcomes, every day. As part of our Magnet Resonance (MR) R&D organisation in Oxford, you'll join a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering community working at the cutting edge of superconducting magnet technology. This is a newly created role, offering a rare opportunity to shape both the position and the way we deliver systems engineering excellence within our magnet architecture. If you enjoy systems thinking, influencing design from first principles, and making complex technology work as one integrated solution, this could be the role where your impact is truly felt., We are a team of more than 73,000 highly dedicated Healthineers in more than 70 countries. As a leader in medical technology, we constantly push the boundaries to create better outcomes and experiences for patients, no matter where they live or what health issues they are facing. Our portfolio is crucial for clinical decision-making and treatment pathways.
