Technical Department Manager - Life Cycle Management - Image Guided Therapy
Your role:

• You lead a high-impact engineering department responsible for sustaining the performance, safety, and compliance of Philips’ global installed base of image-guided therapy systems. You take ownership and deliver results — even in ambiguity — to keep critical products running flawlessly.

• You’ll manage a diverse, multidisciplinary team in a fast-paced R&D setting, working closely with internal and external partners. You collaborate with R&D, Procurement, Supplier Quality, Customer Services, Operations, and external suppliers, all while ensuring medical regulatory compliance (including IEC60601).

• You will grow your influence across the business, drive improvements in product reliability, efficiency, and team capability, and nurture talent in an agile, regulated environment. This is a leadership role where proactive mindset, curiosity, and resilience are essential to success.

You're the right fit if:

• You hold a Master’s degree in a technical discipline (e.g. physics, electrical, mechatronics, or systems engineering).

• You have at least 10 years of engineering experience (including 5+ years in people leadership), ideally in the medical devices or another highly regulated industry.

• You’re a self-starter who thrives on solving complex problems, managing cross-functional teams, and driving continuous improvement.

• You bring strong stakeholder management, a helicopter view, and comfort navigating both strategic and hands-on operational challenges.

We are a health technology company. We built our entire company around the belief that every human matters, and we won't stop until everybody everywhere has access to the quality healthcare that we all deserve. Do the work of your life to help the lives of others.
