Functieomschrijving

As a Usability Engineer at Philips, you play a pivotal role in the future of minimally invasive surgery. You will be integrated into the iApps organization, where we develop sophisticated software that provides real-time guidance to clinicians during complex procedures.

Your mission is to ensure that these high-stakes medical devices are not only innovative but inherently safe and intuitive. You will act as the bridge between complex engineering and clinical reality, conducting workflow analyses and usability evaluations to ensure our technology supports the doctor’s focus rather than distracting from it. By delivering critical usability evidence, you help steer our products through rigorous regulatory landscapes (FDA/IEC) and directly contribute to improved patient outcomes worldwide.

• Educational Background: A Master’s or PhD in Human-Technology Interaction, Human Factors Engineering, Cognitive Science, Industrial Design, or a related field.

• Domain Knowledge: Significant experience in medical imaging and an understanding of clinical workflows within Image Guided Therapy (e.g., Cardiology, Radiology, or Neurology).

• System Complexity: Proven ability to work on integrated systems where hardware and software must function in perfect harmony.
