Summary

The Senior Health Systems Engineer serves as a key member of the hospital's Management Engineering Program, playing a central role in establishing the function, setting analytical standards, and advancing operational efficiency across the organization. This individual will lead high‑impact projects that improve patient access, flow, standardization and resource utilization in a pediatric environment. The Senior Health Systems Engineer must be both highly strategic and hands‑on—capable of building infrastructure, developing methodologies, mentoring others across the organization, and delivering measurable outcomes. This role requires a systems‑thinker who is motivated by mission‑driven work that improves care for children and families.

Responsibilities

  • Lead complex, cross-functional performance improvement initiatives using systems engineering, industrial engineering, and operations research methods.
  • Apply advanced analytical tools (e.g., process mapping, simulation, optimization, statistical analysis, and human-centered design) to improve access, flow, quality, safety, and efficiency.
  • Partner with clinical, operational, and administrative leaders to identify priorities, frame problems, and co-develop solutions aligned with organizational strategy.
  • Translate complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations for executive, clinical, and operational audiences.
  • Design and evaluate care delivery models, capacity management strategies, and operational workflows, with attention to pediatric and family-centered care.
  • Support implementation, change management, and sustainment of improvement initiatives, including measurement of outcomes and ongoing performance monitoring.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on system design, tradeoffs, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Help establish standards, methodologies, and best practices for the Management Engineering program.
  • Contribute to the development and mentoring of future management engineering staff as the program grows.

Technical Expertise

  • Proficiency in analytical and modeling tools (e.g., Python, R, SQL, Tableau, discrete event simulation platforms).
  • Strong understanding of continuous improvement methodologies.
  • Strong systems thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional collaboration, facilitation, communication and relationship‑building skills.

Education And Experience

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Operations Research, Management Engineering, or related field required. Master's degree preferred.
  • Licensure: None
  • Certification: None
  • Years of relevant experience: At least 5 years of relevant experience.
