Senior Engineering Manager (Medtech) IRC280631

Description

GlobalLogic is partnering with a global leader in medical technology on a strategic initiative to build the next generation of intelligent, connected surgical ecosystems. The program leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance surgical precision, automate validation processes, and accelerate innovation across high-volume medical devices.

In parallel, the team is developing a digital platform that connects surgical video, robotics, imaging, and data analytics into an integrated, secure environment. This solution enables real-time insights, advanced collaboration, and data-driven decision-making for surgical teams. Early releases include modules for surgical video analysis, telepresence, and procedure planning — already being adopted by leading hospitals across Europe.

As an Engineering Director, you will play a key leadership role in scaling this strategic account, which is entering a rapid growth phase. You will define and execute the technical strategy, drive delivery excellence, and build high-performing engineering teams capable of supporting complex, multi-domain innovation programs. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the evolution of connected surgery and deliver technology that directly improves clinical outcomes worldwide.
