Job description
The Staff Electrical Engineer collaborates with and leads a dynamic, multidisciplinary team to develop next-generation medical instruments. This role is responsible for the design, development, and testing of electrical and electronic components for advanced imaging systems.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, develop, and test PCBAs and electronic system components, including cable assemblies, in compliance with applicable medical device standards.
- Lead hardware and firmware design, perform engineering studies, and contribute to fixture and automation tool design in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
- Drive R&D efforts, including early-stage proof-of-concept work involving electronics, embedded systems, and computer vision technologies.
- Produce technical documentation such as requirements specifications, design documents, test plans, and change control records.
- Mentor junior engineers, promote best practices, and uphold high standards of technical excellence.
- Conduct verification testing, including EMC and electrical safety evaluations.
- Identify and implement improvements for existing product designs and production processes.
- Manage vendor relationships and provide technical support to stakeholders.
SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
