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.

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.

• Develop, manage, and maintain design history files and regulatory deliverables

• Translate complex technical and regulatory concepts for diverse audiences across Apple

• Conduct impact analysis on design changes and facilitate trade-off discussions across stakeholders

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to translate product vision into traceable engineering requirements and safe, scalable designs

• Identify and implement process improvements, including building software tools and prototypes where applicable

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field with 7+ years of relevant industry experience OR equivalent combination of education and professional experience

• Medical device development experience, particularly Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) or other regulated software products

• 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

• 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

• Project/program management experience in complex, multi-disciplinary technical environments

• Experience with Swift development in Xcode
