About the role

  • The Electrical & Systems Engineer is a versatile technical contributor who operates across the full product development lifecycle, from early-stage concept through design transfer and sustaining. Bridging electrical engineering depth with systems-level thinking, this role supports multiple concurrent programs and is well-suited to an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, moves comfortably between projects, and can engage across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software domains as program needs demand.
  • This position reports to the Director of R&D and Engineering.

What you'll do

  • Electrical Design & Development
    • Lead and support electrical design activities including circuit design, board layout review, component selection, signal integrity, and power management
    • Develop and evaluate hardware prototypes; collect, analyze, and report on test data
    • Define electrical design requirements and translate clinical user needs into verified hardware specifications
    • Collaborate with firmware and software teams to ensure cohesive system integration
  • Systems Engineering
    • Define and maintain system-level architectures across electromechanical, electrical, and software subsystems
    • Translate user needs into integrated system requirements and manage requirements traceability across the product development lifecycle
    • Perform system-level failure mode analysis and hazard assessments per ISO 14971
    • Contribute across multiple concurrent projects in varying capacities, leading technical workstreams on some and supporting others, based on program priority and skillset fit
  • Verification, Validation & Regulatory
    • Create and execute V&V protocols for electrical and system-level design requirements; author test reports and design history records
    • Support usability engineering and human factors testing per IEC 62366
    • Ensure electrical designs meet applicable safety and EMC standards including IEC 60601
    • Assist in preparation of regulatory submissions for US (FDA/21 CFR 820), Canada, Europe, and other international markets
    • Maintain compliance with ISO 13485 and applicable international standards
  • Design Transfer & Operations
    • Support design transfer to manufacturing, including electrical process development, validation protocols, and cross-functional handoffs
    • Coordinate with external partners including contract manufacturers, component suppliers, and test labs to execute project deliverables
    • Review and approve Engineering Change Orders as needed
  • Team & Culture
    • Communicate effectively across cross-functional teams including QA, RA, Operations, and external stakeholders
    • Identify opportunities to improve R&D tools, workflows, and external resource utilization

Qualifications

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or closely related field
  • 5+ years of hardware design and development experience spanning electrical and systems engineering domains
  • Hands-on experience with circuit design, PCB development, prototyping, testing, and V&V
  • Familiarity with firmware/embedded systems integration a plus
  • Proficiency in electrical CAD/EDA tools and standard office software
  • Strong technical writing and documentation skills
  • Experience in a regulated industry; familiarity with FDA QSR, ISO 13485, IEC 60601, and IEC 62366 preferred
