• 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
• 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

• 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
