Meet the team:
As the Manager and Technical Lead for Systems Engineering at Dexcom India, you will serve as the technical anchor and functional leader for our growing international R&D center. You will bridge the gap between our Global Headquarters in San Diego and the high-performing engineering teams in Bangalore, ensuring seamless integration of Systems Engineering best practices. You will manage a team of systems engineers while acting as a lead architect for next-generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems. If you are a CSEP-minded leader, this is your opportunity to build and lead a world-class team.

Where you come in :

• You will build, manage, and retain a high-performing Systems Engineering team in India, overseeing resource planning, performance management, and career development to foster a culture of technical excellence and psychological safety.

• You will lead the technical execution of the Systems Engineering lifecycle for complex, connected medical device systems (System-of-Systems), ensuring architectural integrity across HW, FW, Mobile App, and Cloud subsystems.

• You will act as the primary Systems Engineering liaison between Bangalore and US-based leadership, ensuring that the "India Center of Excellence" aligns with global R&D roadmaps and Dexcom’s strategic vision.

• You will drive the rigorous application of requirements management (using Jama Connect) and configuration management, ensuring end-to-end traceability from user needs to verification evidence.

• You will facilitate technical decision-making and trade-off analysis using systematic methods, balancing performance, cost, and schedule while strictly adhering to patient safety and regulatory compliance (ISO 14971).

• You will oversee the planning and execution of System Verification and Validation (V&V) strategies, ensuring test setups in India match global standards for repeatability and coverage.

• You will drive process improvements based on INCOSE guidelines, moving the team toward mature MBSE practices and reducing reliance on document-centric workflows.
  

What makes you successful:

• You possess a rare blend of functional management experience and "hands-on" technical depth in Systems Engineering, with a proven ability to scale teams.

• You demonstrate deep knowledge of the medical device product lifecycle (ISO 13485, IEC 62304, FDA 21 CFR Part 820) and have successfully led teams through regulatory submissions.

• You are an evangelist for modernizing Systems Engineering, with a demonstrated ability to implement GenAI workflows and advanced tooling to solve scalability challenges in documentation and analysis.

• You demonstrate exceptional communication skills, capable of translating complex technical risks into clear business impacts for executive stakeholders and cross-functional partners (Clinical, Quality, Marketing).

• You have extensive experience administering and enforcing best practices in ALM and PLM tools (Jama Connect, Jira etc.).

• You exhibit strong conflict resolution skills and the ability to influence matrixed teams without direct authority, ensuring alignment between software, hardware, and test disciplines.

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Biomedical, Electrical, Systems, or Software) and 12+ years of experience, with at least 5 years in a direct people-management.

• Nice to haves:

• INCOSE CSEP certification.

• Experience transitioning teams from document-based SE to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using SysML tools (Cameo/ MagicDraw or Rhapsody).

• Experience in developing or implementing AI/ML algorithms or systems within a regulated environment.

• Published works or presentations in the field of systems engineering or medical device technology.

What you’ll get:

• A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomwarriors community .
• A full and comprehensive benefits program.
• Growth opportunities on a global scale.
• Access to career development through in-house learning programs and/or qualified tuition reimbursement.
• An exciting and innovative, industry-leading organization committed to our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.
