Job description

Role Summary

Reporting to the executive leadership team, the Electrical Systems Engineer Manager provides technical leadership across ultrasound hardware, including transmit/receive signal chains, beamformer interfaces, power and timing architectures, and embedded platforms. The role owns system architecture, coordinates electrical development roadmaps, and ensures design controls, verification, and transfer to manufacturing are executed with discipline.

Key Responsibilities

• Define end-to-end electrical architecture for ultrasound systems (Tx/Rx front ends, pulsers/T/R switching, low-noise receive paths, ADC/DAC selection, clocking/synchronization, FPGA/DSP interfaces).
• Lead design controls: requirements, risk management, verification/validation plans, traceability, and design reviews compliant with ISO 13485 and FDA QSR expectations.
• Plan and oversee NPI design transfer; ensure robust documentation (schematics, BOMs, test methods), DfX (DFM/DFT/DFR), reliability and EMC strategies, and production readiness.
• Build and mentor a high-performing team, coordinate resources, schedules, and critical paths across internal functions and qualified external partners.
• Drive investigation and resolution of complex technical issues; own CAPA actions for hardware root causes.
• Establish platform strategies and technology roadmaps (AFE/AFE, power, timing, interfaces), including supplier qualification and obsolescence plans.
• Lead cross-functional technical meetings; interface with Quality, Manufacturing, and Program Management to meet performance, cost, and timeline objectives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering (or related).
• 10+ years in hardware development for regulated or high-reliability systems; 5+ years leading multi-disciplinary electronics projects.
• Proven ownership of board- and system-level designs (analog, mixed-signal, high-speed digital, power).
• Demonstrated experience with verification strategies (bench, HALT/HASS or reliability growth, EMC/IEC 60601-1-2), and NPI/transfer to manufacturing.
• Strong communication, project leadership, and vendor/supplier management.

Assets

• Ultrasound experience (beamforming chains, pulsers, LNAs, T/R switches) and medical device design controls.
• FPGA/DSP system integration, JESD204, PCIe, DDR, and timing/clock tree design.
• Familiarity with ERP/MES for configuration and traceability.

Salary Range

CAD$125,000 – $150,000 annually.
