Principal Electrical Engineer – Medical Devices
Base pay range: $40.00/hr - $73.00/hr
Overview
The Principal Electrical Engineer will be a key technical resource. This individual will support all phases of new platform development ranging from concept and technology development through commercialization and post-market support.
Responsibilities
- Architect, design, develop, test and transfer to production electromechanical systems and disposables for product development activities, including system diagrams, architecture development, component selection, sub-system design, prototype creation, V&V activities, production tool planning and design and test fixtures for class 2 medical devices.
- Specific tasks including electronic architecture design, block diagram creation, patient isolation design, power distribution design, component and processing platform selection, schematic entry, layout support/oversight, prototype build oversight, prototype testing, transfer to production support.
- Research product development solutions and provide analysis for product direction.
- Consult and solicit feedback from internal stakeholders to identify customer needs and translate these requirements into engineering designs.
- Optimize design and collaborate with other design engineers to improve designs based on test results.
- Work with external vendors and partners to speed up product development and testing.
- Develop fixtures and use off-the-shelf equipment to create test environments for evaluating performance of new ablation systems (e.g., testing in phantoms, ex-vivo tissue, in-vivo testing, SAR field mapping).
- Create documentation and support materials in conjunction with design and development activities.
- Ensure all work meets high ethical and professional standards and aligns with Varian values.
- Be a hands-on technical resource for mechanical, electrical and software engineering teams by contributing to design ideas and problem solving.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
Qualifications
- Minimum of a B.S. degree in Electrical or related engineering field.
- 10+ years of electronics design and system design experience for new product development.
- Technical competencies: experience developing software-driven electromechanical medical devices; prior experience with ablation devices is a strong plus.
- Experience with electrical engineering design processes and tools (e.g., Altium Designer): schematic capture, PCB layout, circuit simulation, component selection, patient/user safety, power distribution architecture and design.
- Experience with wireless technologies (Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, RFID).
- Proficiency with spectrum analyzers, high-frequency scopes and other test instrumentation; hands-on prototyping and troubleshooting.
- Experience with ISO 13485 quality management systems and working with NRTL for IEC 60601 compliance is desired.
- Ability to create clear product design documentation (concept diagrams, specifications, requirements, test plans, V&V reports).
- Experience working in a distributed, collaborative team environment; extensive hands-on experience building, testing and debugging prototype devices; experience transferring designs to production.
- Highly self-motivated with keen attention to detail; ability to learn new technologies and solve problems; ability to prioritize and manage work in high-pressure environments.
