You will develop creative solutions to challenging problems associated with the design of our new and existing smart drug delivery systems. The successful candidate will possess strong electrical engineering technical capabilities, an excitement and energy for problem solving, and a passion for their work in product development in order to have a positive impact on developing high precision, life-critical products and therapies.

What you'll be doing: 

  • Design and develop analog/digital circuits for microcontroller-based smart drug delivery systems, ensuring high performance and reliability in life-critical applications.

  • Translate user needs into electrical requirements, specifications, and system architectures with clear documentation.

  • Integrate electrical designs with mechanical and software components, ensuring manufacturability and compliance with regulatory standards.

  • Define and support verification and validation testing, including development of test methods, protocols, and performance assessments.

  • Troubleshoot electrical issues, manage design deliverables and timelines, and communicate progress, risks, and results effectively.

  • Perform circuit analysis and simulation (LTSpice/PSpice) to evaluate performance, environmental effects, and timing interfaces.

What you'll bring:

  • Bachelors degree in Electrical engineering or related engineering field required. 1+ years related experience preferred.

  • Knowledge in design of embedded microcontroller-based electronics devices, including FPGA-based, digital and analog design. 

  • Knowledge and experience using eCAD systems for printed circuit board schematic design and layout (Altium Designer, preferred), circuit analysis tools (LTSpice and Pspice), and data acquisition software (LabVIEW). 

  • Specific experience in design and development of sensing subsystems highly desirable.
