Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • At Heartflow, we are working to transform coronary artery disease from the leading cause of death into a condition that can be managed for life.

Responsibilities

  • System Architecture & Requirements: Define system requirements and maintain the functional system architecture: the major subsystems, what each must do, and the interfaces and data flows between them.
  • Traceability: Ensure traceability between user needs, requirements, and their verification and validation (V&V) evidence, and maintain it as the system evolves.
  • Risk Management & Reliability: Identify, analyze, and mitigate technical and product risks. Support failure investigations (e.g., CAPAs, NCs), root cause analysis, corrective actions, and assessments of system reliability and performance.
  • Technical Trade-offs: Evaluate and communicate trade-offs involving performance, safety, usability, reliability, scalability, maintainability, schedule, and cost. Use data and engineering judgment to recommend solutions and drive decisions.
  • Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Serve as the technical lead and coordinate cross-functional technical efforts across software, algorithm, quality, regulatory, clinical, product, and operations teams, from concept development through software release and post-market surveillance.
  • As a Senior Systems Engineer, you are responsible for the completeness and quality of the system-level design and documentation for Heartflow's core products.
  • You will translate user needs and product requirements into feasible technical requirements, own the functional architecture, and work with members of the R&D team to ensure a traceable, testable, and sustainable design.

Requirements

  • Systems Engineering Fundamentals: Demonstrated experience defining functional system architectures, requirements, specifications, and interfaces.
  • Technical Judgment: Ability to make and communicate sound technical recommendations by balancing user needs, safety, performance, reliability, quality, schedule, and cost.
  • Technical Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Verification & Validation Strategy: Own the system-level V&V strategy: what must be verified or validated, at what level, and what evidence verifies each requirement.

Nice to have

  • Experience with cardiovascular imaging, CT, CCTA, or clinical software workflows.
  • Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), system modeling, or formal architecture methods.
  • Familiarity with ISO 14971, ISO 13485, or comparable risk and quality management standards.
  • INCOSE certification (ASEP, CSEP) or demonstrated fluency with INCOSE requirements-writing practices.
  • Familiarity with FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance and secure product development practices (e.g., SBOM, threat modeling) for connected SaMD.
  • Heartflow is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
  • This policy applies to every aspect of employment at Heartflow, including recruitment, hiring, training, relocation, promotion, and termination.
  • Positions posted for Heartflow are not intended for or open to third party recruiters / agencies.
