Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and visionary

Principal Electrical Engineer

to lead the design, simulation, and development of complex electrical systems for our next-generation

corneal cross-linking system . This role requires deep technical expertise in

circuit design, simulation, PCB development, and system integration , paired with leadership in

architecting solutions, mentoring teams, and ensuring compliance with medical device regulations . What You7ll Do: The Principal Engineer will serve as an individual contributor, driving innovation, setting design strategy, and ensuring robust, reliable, and safe designs that meet both

clinical needs

and

regulatory requirements . Technical Leadership Support the

electrical system architecture

and ensure seamless integration with mechanical, optical, and software subsystems. Act as the

technical subject matter expert

in circuit design, simulation, and verification by applying a systematic approach. Technical lead

for all electrical design needs of the system development. Ensure adherence to

FDA design control requirements

(21 CFR Part 820) and compliance with applicable medical device standards ( IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 ). Mentor, coach, and provide technical guidance to

junior, senior engineers and technicians . Circuit Design & Simulation Lead the design of

complex analog, digital, mixed-signal, RF, and power circuits

for medical device applications. Perform advanced

circuit simulations

(DC, AC, transient, Monte Carlo, noise, signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI modeling). Conduct

worst-case, tolerance, and reliability analysis

to anticipate failures and ensure long-term product robustness. Drive

thermal and power distribution modeling

to inform PCB layout strategies. Correlate

simulation results with experimental data , refining models and designs for accuracy. PCB Design & Development Oversee

schematic capture and PCB layout

using

Altium Designer

and other industry tools. Create and approve

schematic symbols, footprints, and component libraries . Ensure PCB layouts meet

signal integrity, noise immunity, EMC/EMI, creepage/clearance, and thermal requirements . Lead component selection for

critical and electromechanical parts . Design Verification & Validation Author and oversee

design verification and validation protocols , ensuring compliance with product requirements. Lead the definition of

system test plans

and manage their release ECO's in the

EDMS (Electronic Document Management System) . Direct

bench testing

of PCBs using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other advanced instrumentation. Ensure

traceability

between requirements, design outputs, and verification results per regulatory guidelines. System Integration & Collaboration Collaborate with

embedded software teams

to define hardware/software interface requirements. Drive issue resolution during

system integration and clinical evaluation phases . What We Offer Opportunity to lead the development of

cutting-edge medical technology

that directly improves patient outcomes. A collaborative and

innovative-driven environment

where your technical expertise drives product success. Growth opportunities into

technical fellow or engineering leadership tracks . How You\u2019ll Get There: Bachelors degree in

electrical engineering or related field

(Masters or Ph.D. preferred). Experience : 10+ years

of experience in

electrical design and product development , with a strong track record in

medical devices or other regulated industries . Expert-level knowledge in

analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuit design , validated by advanced

circuit simulation and modeling expertise . Hands-on experience with

EDA and simulation tools

(PSpice, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, Altium Designer, Allegro PCB, ORCAD). Proven experience in

signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI, and thermal simulations . Strong background in

motor control circuits, sensors, and communication interfaces

(I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Wi-Fi, BLE). Experience defining and executing

design verification and validation protocols

under

FDA design control

requirements. Familiarity with

IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 , and other applicable safety/EMC standards.
