  • Contribute to the design, analysis, and verification of electrical subsystems, including:

  • Motor and magnetic bearing

  • Percutaneous lead

  • External controller

  • Peripherals (batteries, console, power supplies)

  • Assist in specifying component and system-level test requirements for the external controller:

  • Analyze input requirements with cross-functional engineering teams

  • Support development of feasibility and V&V test plans aligned with risk controls

  • Develop and execute efficient test procedures:

  • Run test cases to validate component and system performance

  • Provide justification for acceptance criteria and test sample sizes

  • Support development of test tooling and fixtures

  • Review protocols and reports from third-party labs

  • Document work instructions and ensure adherence to technical standards

  • Perform and report on verification and validation testing:
