Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity for a
Senior or Staff Electrical Engineer
with a passion for
hands-on hardware development
to support the design, prototyping, validation and manufacturing of complex Medical Device Capital Equipment.
This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives at the bench-building, debugging, and refining complex electromechanical systems, and wants to play a central role in a multidisciplinary R&D and Manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Drive the development of complex electrical subsystems, from schematic capture and PCB layout through
lab-based bring-up, debug, and system integration .
Own prototype assembly, functional testing, and iterative hardware validation with
direct hands-on involvement .
Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and clinical engineering teams to ensure electrical designs meet performance, reliability, and safety requirements.
Design and implement solutions for power distribution, analog/digital signal processing, motor control, and system communications.
Develop and execute test plans for board-level and system-level validation, including custom fixture development and test automation where applicable.
Support EMC, safety, and regulatory pre-compliance testing (IEC 60601, ISO 13485), and assist in risk mitigation and root cause analysis.
Select and qualify electrical components and contribute to DFM/DFT efforts with manufacturing partners.
Mentor junior engineers and share best practices in debugging, test methodology, and documentation.
Qualifications:
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
7–15+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience, preferably in complex electromechanical systems.
Expert-level proficiency with PCB design and debug tools (Altium, OrCAD, etc.) and test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.).
Strong understanding of analog/digital design, EMI/EMC, grounding/shielding practices, and system-level integration.
Proven track record of debugging complex systems at the bench and driving issues to resolution.
Familiarity with IEC 60601, ISO 13485 is a plus
Clear communicator with strong documentation and cross-functional collaboration skills.
