We are seeking a hands-on, technically rigorous, and people-cantered engineering leader to serve as Sr. Electrical Engineering Manager for infusion systems.
This role has full responsibility for both new product development (NPD) and sustaining engineering of embedded electronics, sensor interfaces, power systems, GUI display hardware, and safety-critical control systems.
You will lead a team of electrical engineers and partner closely with embedded software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and quality functions to deliver safe, high-performing, and compliant medical devices for fluid delivery.

Key Responsibilities
Technical Ownership
• Lead the design, development, and support of embedded electronic systems across the entire product lifecycle, including:
• Microcontroller-based control platforms
• Sensor integration (e.g., pressure, flow, air-in-line, occlusion)
• Motor and actuator drive electronics
• Power architecture (AC/DC conversion, battery backup, energy optimization)
• GUI display electronics: Display controllers, backlight drivers, capacitive touch hardware, and power regulation
• Architect robust, EMI-compliant hardware interfaces that support GUI responsiveness, user interaction, and system-level diagnostics.
• Ensure all designs meet regulatory and quality standards, including IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-24, FDA design control, and ISO 13485.
• Define and maintain hardware/software interface requirements in collaboration with embedded software teams; own the electrical side of the integration.
• Lead design documentation, schematic reviews, FMEA, hazard analysis, and verification test planning for both new and existing products.

Leadership & Team Management
• Hire, coach, and develop a high-performing team of electrical engineers focused on embedded control, analog/digital design, GUI electronics, and power systems.
• Lead the team across both development projects and sustaining activities, including CAPAs, field investigations, root cause analysis, and design updates.
• Drive a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement, balancing risk management and innovation.
• Set technical direction, manage work prioritization, and ensure high-quality deliverables in alignment with program and business goals.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
Collaborate closely with:
• Embedded software teams on firmware integration, diagnostics, controls, and alarm management
• GUI software teams to ensure compatibility and performance of user-facing display hardware
• Mechanical teams for PCB layout, connector integration, thermals, and enclosure constraints
• Systems, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory to support design control, V&V, design transfer, and post-market support
• Represent the electrical function in program reviews, design phase gates, and regulatory audits.

Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field.
• 10+ years of embedded electronic design experience in regulated, safety-critical environments (medical preferred).
• 5+ years of technical people leadership experience, with direct responsibility for both new product development and sustaining support.
• Proven success in delivering reliable, compliant, and manufacturable electrical subsystems from concept through post-market support.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to lead in a matrixed, global development environment
