Position Summary:
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to help lead the design, development, and validation of electrical systems for our wearable medical devices. This role will work closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineering, firmware development, and electrochemistry to drive innovation and deliver high-quality products.
In this role, you will take ownership of day-to-day electrical hardware prototyping and testing, with oversight from a senior electrical engineer, ensuring our devices meet performance, reliability, and safety standards. This role is ideal for a self-motivated, hands-on engineer who thrives in a dynamic environment and is passionate about advancing healthcare technology.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Serve as the electrical subject matter expert (SME) on R&D initiatives.
  • Help design, prototype, and test PCB layouts, analog and digital circuits, and power management systems for wearable biosensors.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop robust electrical architectures and integrate sensors, wireless communication, and embedded systems into products.
  • Work with senior electrical engineer to ensure regulatory compliance with medical device standards (IEC 60601, IEC 62304, ISO 13485) and risk management protocols.
  • Conduct failure mode analysis (FMEA) and provide solutions to improve system reliability and manufacturability.
  • Execute test plans for EMC/ESD compliance, signal integrity, and power efficiency
  • Help with the transition of electrical designs from R&D to pilot-scale production and large-volume manufacturing, ensuring design for manufacturability (DFM) and testability (DFT).
  • Support sustaining engineering efforts, troubleshooting electrical issues in released products and implementing necessary updates.
  • Maintain rigorous engineering documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and validation reports.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in electrical design for hardware products, preferably in wearable or medical devices.
  • Expertise in PCB design and layout (Altium, OrCAD, Eagle, or similar tools).
  • Strong knowledge of analog/digital circuit design, power management, signal processing, and embedded systems.
  • Experience with wireless communication protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, NFC, RF, etc.) required.
  • Experience with flexible electronics a plus.
  • Proficiency in hardware debugging, oscilloscope analysis, and electrical test equipment.
  • Familiarity with medical device development processes and regulatory standards (21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, IEC 60601) is highly desirable.
  • Proven track record of successfully transitioning designs from concept to production.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate in a multidisciplinary team environment.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly.
Working Conditions:
  • Combination of office, laboratory, and hands-on prototype development environments.
Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision, health savings account, flexible spending account, life and longterm disability insurance, 401(k) plan, holidays, and PTO.
