Key Responsibilities

Design and Development

• Design electrical systems, components, and circuits for medical devices, ensuring functionality, safety, and compliance with relevant standards and product specifications.
• Develop multi-layer printed circuit board designs (PCBs) from schematic design to layout and component placement using CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, SolidWorks Electrical).
• Ensure interoperability between boards based on electrical system architecture.
• Collaborate software / embedded systems designers to support connectivity and functionality:

• Perform prototyping testing, simulations and circuit analyses to optimize performance.
• Design and troubleshoot Arduino-based systems for prototyping and product features, work with embedded systems, sensors, and power management systems to enhance device efficiency.

Testing and Validation

• Define and execute testing protocols for electrical systems.
• Conduct system integration and validation testing for electrical components.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues during development and production phases.
• Document testing results and track issues throughout the project lifecycle.

Collaboration and Support

• Coordinate with third-party contractors for circuit board layouts, prototype builds, and other outsourced tasks.
• Collaborate with mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams to integrate electrical components into cohesive systems.
• Partner with regulatory teams to ensure designs meet standards such as IEC 60601, IEC 62304, FDA, and ISO 13485.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing, quality assurance, marketing, and customer service.

Compliance and Documentation

• Create and maintain detailed documentation for designs, test plans, and validation protocols.
• Ensure adherence to industry regulations, including FDA, CE, IEC 62304, and ISO guidelines.

Continuous Improvement

• Stay informed on emerging technologies and industry trends to incorporate innovative solutions.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to iterative development processes.

Project Management

• Contribute to project planning, including timelines, resource allocation, and risk assessment.
• Ensure projects meet deadlines while maintaining quality and safety standards.

Qualifications

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).

Experience

• Minimum of 5 years of electrical engineering experience, preferably in the medical device industry (10 years of experience preferred).
• Expertise in PCB design and layout, including high-speed signal routing and power distribution.
• Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers (e.g., ARM, PIC, Arduino).
• Experience coordinating with third-party contractors.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in electrical design and simulation tools (e.g., Altium Designer, SPICE, MATLAB).
• Strong understanding of power supplies, analog/digital circuits, and electromechanical systems.
• Experience with Arduino systems for design and troubleshooting applications (preferred).

Soft Skills

• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with medical device standards (e.g., IEC 60601, IEC 62304, ISO 13485, FDA regulations).
• Familiarity with compliance testing and risk management processes (e.g., FMEA).
• Experience with wireless technologies and sensors.
• Knowledge of software development for medical devices (e.g., C/C++, LabVIEW).
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability (DFM) and testability (DFT).

Physical and Work Environment Requirements

• Frequent standing, walking, and manual dexterity for handling tools and equipment.
• Ability to lift up to 10 pounds frequently and up to 25 pounds occasionally.
• Protective gear required in sterile environments.
• Work may involve occasional exposure to mechanical parts, fumes, and electrical risks.
