Global Head of Software and Systems
An opportunity to own the software backbone of a system with global clinical impact. At Creo, you’ll help define the digital infrastructure powering the future of endoscopic surgery!
Shape the future of surgery. Build a platform from the ground up. Lead the code behind the cure.
At Creo Medical, we’re not just developing medical devices — we’re engineering a revolution in minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. Our next-generation electrosurgical platform is setting new standards in precision, safety, and performance. We’re looking for a Global Head of Software & Systems who’s ready to architect the next era of surgical innovation.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead the architecture and development of modular software across embedded, application, and UI layers.
- Own our full software stack — from real-time firmware to intuitive user interfaces. Introduce lean, agile development practices within a regulated framework (IEC 62304, ISO 13485).
- Build for extensibility — enabling third-party instrument development and open platform integrations.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, UX, clinical, regulatory, and quality teams. Manage and mentor a high-performing team of engineers.
What You Bring:
- Leadership experience in regulated, high-integrity environments (e.g., medtech, aerospace, automotive).
- Proven track record delivering full-stack systems, including RTOS-based firmware and application software.
- Deep knowledge of modular, scalable platform architecture. Strong grasp of compliance standards like IEC 62304 and ISO 13485.
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and team-building skills.
- Experience leading teams and delivering in dynamic, mission-driven environments.
Your Background:
- Degree-qualified in software engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or related discipline.
- Bonus points for direct experience with IEC 62304 or ISO 13485.
- Willingness to travel occasionally for labs or customer collaboration.
