Job description

Make a Life-Changing Impact Ready to improve the lives of millions of people around the world by helping Apple ship regulated health features that users rely on every day? As a Systems Engineer in Health Software, you’ll be at the intersection of innovation and regulation — seeing the big picture across regulated projects, connecting teams and disciplines, and doing work that genuinely matters. We’re a team that values collaboration, each other, and quality, and we’re looking for someone energized by purposeful work in a complex space. If you’re inspired to make the world a better place through software as a medical device, we’d love to hear from you.

Description

What We're Looking For

You're an empathetic, natural connector who can coordinate across diverse teams while maintaining deep technical depth. You can cut through ambiguity, communicate with clarity, and learn new domains quickly. You can seamlessly switch between different projects and tasks without losing the details. You are comfortable operating with a high degree of independence. Most importantly, you're passionate about using technology to improve human health.

Knowledge of domestic medical device regulatory requirements (China GMP)
Strong technical fluency in software architecture and development processes, including the ability to hold substantive discussions with engineering teams
Experience with Python and/or shell scripting
Proficiency with AI tools for software development
Track record of driving alignment and decisions across diverse stakeholder groups
Excellent English proficiency (oral and written)
Ability to reason at multiple levels of abstraction — knowing when to treat something as a black box and when to dig into details that matter inside of it

Preferred Qualifications

Quality management systems and design controls knowledge such as 21CFR820, ISO 13485, IEC 62304, or ISO 14971
Strong technical writing and documentation skills, preferably including experience with regulatory submissions
