Staff Electrical Engineer

Stryker's Endoscopy business is seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer to own the design, development, and integration of the electrical systems that power our next-generation Thermedx FluidSmart Fluid Management System. 

As the primary Electrical Engineer supporting this product, you'll own meaningful hardware—not just sustain existing designs. You'll help shape electrical architecture, make key technical decisions, and work across hardware, firmware, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory engineering to deliver innovative medical technology from concept through commercialization. 

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll design complex electromechanical systems involving power electronics, sensing, actuation, control electronics, and multi-board electrical architectures. You'll translate customer and clinical needs into robust electrical solutions while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and compliance requirements. 

If you're looking for an opportunity to own products, solve challenging technical problems, influence engineering decisions, and see your work directly improve patient care in operating rooms around the world, we'd love to hear from you. 

Why This Role? 

• Own the product. Be the primary Electrical Engineer responsible for a critical medical device platform.  

• Design real hardware. Develop new electrical solutions instead of only maintaining legacy designs.  

• Influence technical direction. Help shape electrical architecture, component selection, and key engineering decisions.  

• Work across disciplines. Partner closely with firmware, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, and marketing teams.  

• Make a difference. Your work will directly impact technology used by clinicians to improve patient care every day.  

What You Will Do 

• Lead the electrical architecture, design, and development of complex electromechanical subsystems for the fluidsmart platform. Design and develop multi-board electrical subsystems including controller boards, sensor interfaces, power distribution, heater control, motor drives, and actuator interfaces.  

• Drive electrical architecture decisions while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and regulatory requirements.  

• Translate customer, clinical, and system requirements into robust electrical designs.  

• Develop and validate analog and mixed-signal circuits, including signal conditioning, amplification, filtering, and ADC/DAC interfaces.  

• Design power electronics solutions including AC-DC conversion interfaces, DC power distribution, grounding, isolation, and protection circuitry.  

• Design electrical solutions for high-reliability systems, including fault detection, protection circuits, and fail-safe mechanisms.  

• Drive system-level electrical integration across hardware, firmware, and mechanical subsystems.  

• Own schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout guidance, debugging, and root cause analysis at both the board and system level.  

• Define and execute verification and validation activities, including bench, integration, and system-level testing.  

• Ensure designs meet EMI/EMC, signal integrity, electrical safety, and reliability requirements.  

• Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including requirements, schematics, test reports, risk analyses, and design control documentation.  

• Support products throughout the full development lifecycle—from concept and feasibility through commercialization and sustaining engineering.  

Required Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline.  

• 4+ years of experience in electrical engineering, hardware development, or product development.  

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience designing and developing electrical systems or subsystems for complex electromechanical products in regulated or safety-critical industries.  

• Experience leading electrical architecture, schematic design, component selection, PCB development, hardware bring-up, and system integration throughout the product development lifecycle.  

• Experience designing analog, mixed-signal, and power electronics, including signal conditioning, power distribution, grounding, isolation, and protection circuitry.  

• Experience with sensing technologies, motor control, thermal management, power electronics, or other electromechanical systems.  

• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, or similar.  

• Experience working within structured product development processes, including requirements management, design reviews, verification, risk management, and cross-functional collaboration.  

• Familiarity with medical device development processes and standards, including design controls, IEC 60601, ISO 14971, verification and validation, or comparable engineering practices.  

• Demonstrated ability to solve complex multidisciplinary engineering problems and influence technical decisions across cross-functional teams.  

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to mentor engineers and collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines.
