    Job Description

    Position Summary:

    We are seeking an experienced Senior Staff Electrical Engineer to join our R&D Electrical Engineering team and contribute to the development of next-generation medical devices and applications. Projects span a broad range of technologies, including complex laser and optical delivery systems, ultrasound, and radio-frequency (RF) devices. This position will play a key role in developing sophisticated electronic systems that power these products and supporting their successful transition from concept through commercialization.

    The engineer will serve as a technical resource for power supply, sensor interface, analog, and digital circuit design, working closely with cross-functional teams including Mechanical, Optical, Software, Clinical, Manufacturing, Quality, and Regulatory.

    Duties & Responsibilities:

    • Provide active mentorship and technical guidance to Staff-level engineers, including the review of schematics and PCB layouts to ensure the consistent application of best practices.
    • Lead cross-functional design reviews involving Mechanical, Optical, and Software teams to ensure the seamless integration of electrical subsystems into complex laser or RF systems.
    • Define project scope, priorities, and schedules with a high level of independence, ensuring all technical deliverables align with departmental and product development goals.
    • Own the risk management portion of the design process, providing technical input into design specifications to ensure all safety and regulatory hurdles are addressed prior to production.
    • Maintain an up-to-date understanding of industry technology trends to identify opportunities for innovation and serve as a thought leader for the electrical engineering team.
    • Assume responsibility for continued education and professional development to remain informed on evolving engineering best practices, technologies, and tools.
    • Design sensor interfaces and power supplies for high-power laser and RF applications while providing technical input into risk management and ensuring regulatory compliance for complex medical systems.
    • Collaborate with PCB, component, and tooling suppliers and vendors to optimize engineering designs for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency throughout the product development lifecycle.
    • Develop schematics and PCB layouts using industry-standard design tools.
    • Design, integrate, and test analog and digital control circuits.
    • Lead the transfer of new products from development into production, working closely with Manufacturing and Quality teams.
    • Provide technical input into design specifications, risk management, and product development activities.
    • Ensure electrical safety, EMC, and regulatory compliance across product designs.
    • Develop and execute test plans to support design verification and validation of electronic systems.
    • Collaborate closely with systems, mechanical, UI/UX and software engineering to support system-level architecture and implementation.
    • Troubleshoot complex electronic systems and perform root-cause analysis of new and existing designs.
    • Support continuous improvement of existing products, processes, and engineering practices.
    • Other duties as needed or required.
