Summer Pcb Design Engineer Jobs in Minnesota (NOW HIRING)

Description
Position Summary
The Principal Electrical Design Engineer is a subject matter expert within the product development team, bringing deep technical expertise in mixed-signal electrical design. This role drives innovation by applying current best practices and emerging technologies to develop cutting-edge solutions and differentiated intellectual property. This is a high-impact, hands-on technical leadership role at the core of our product innovation.
You will help define the next generation of our medical devices while strengthening the technical foundation needed to support a growing product portfolio. You will play a critical role in bridging early-stage innovation with scalable, reliable product development, directly influencing system architecture, product performance, and engineering processes as the organization grows.
You thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, balancing multiple priorities while independently driving complex projects from concept through production. You play a key role in defining system and hardware requirements, balancing speed with the rigor required for regulated medical devices.
This role is based in our Eden Prairie, MN Corporate Office.
Job Responsibilities
• Drive key architectural decisions that impact current and future product platforms
• Lead mixed-signal electrical design efforts across the full product lifecycle, from concept and development through launch and sustaining support
• Translate user needs, clinical insights, and product requirements into robust system-level design solutions
• Apply engineering analysis (analytical, simulation, and empirical testing) to ensure designs meet functional and reliability requirements
• Define and implement system architecture and hardware design best practices
• Evaluate and integrate new technologies (ICs, electromechanical systems, power circuits) with consideration for scalability, manufacturability, and supply chain constraints
• Architect and develop automated test systems to support product validation, manufacturing, and continuous improvement
• Lead products through regulatory compliance and testing (e.g., EMC, electrical safety), including standards such as FCC Part 15 and IEC 60601-1
• Develop and maintain design control documentation (user needs, design inputs, verification/validation, DHF artifacts)
• Mentor engineers and elevate technical standards across the team
• Collaborate cross-functionally (mechanical, firmware, software, quality, and manufacturing) to translate product vision into robust, manufacturable solutions
• Other duties as assigned
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, or related field with 7+ years of experience designing mixed-signal circuits in a regulated environment
• Proven expertise in low-noise signal acquisition and signal conditioning circuit design
• Demonstrated technical leadership, including experience guiding and mentoring engineers through the product development lifecycle
• Strong hands-on experience with rapid prototyping, including breadboarding, simulation, PCB design/layout, and proof-of-concept validation
• Ability to translate product requirements into system architecture and detailed implementation
• Working knowledge of applicable standards and regulations (e.g., IEC 60601-1 family, UL, FCC Part 15)
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment while managing multiple competing tasks and demands
• Demonstrated initiative, accountability, and ability to overcome technical challenges
Preferred Qualifications
• Master's degree in electrical engineering, or related field with 5+ years of domain experience
• Experience designing medical devices and supporting regulatory testing and certification
• Expertise in battery technologies (e.g., Li-Ion Polymer) and power management design
• Experience with electromechanical and haptic systems (motors, solenoids, drive circuitry)
• Experience with hardware communication interfaces (USB, RS-232, SPI, I²C, etc.)
• Familiarity with embedded software development (Python, C, C++, Java, Kotlin)
• Experience with industry tools such as Altium, LTSpice, OrCAD, Eagle, and prototyping platforms (Raspberry Pi, Arduino)
