You will collaborate with cross-functional teams—including hardware designers, firmware developers, and medical professionals—to ensure that our solutions meet stringent performance, reliability, and regulatory standards. Your responsibilities will span circuit-level design, hardware-software co-integration, and advanced prototyping, all while pushing the boundaries of innovation in MedTech and IoT devices.

Key Responsibilities

1. Board Bring-Up & Hardware Integration
   • Lead the bring-up and validation of new PCB designs, ensuring peripherals (UART, I2C, SPI, etc.) and components function optimally.
   • Collaborate with hardware designers to review schematics, PCB layouts, and component datasheets, identifying and resolving potential integration challenges.
   • Participate in requirements analysis and design reviews to develop robust, scalable embedded systems.
   • Propose innovative hardware architectures and electronics solutions that align with product roadmaps and regulatory needs.
   • Diagnose and troubleshoot hardware issues at the board level, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
   • Optimize power consumption, signal integrity, and system performance to meet medical device standards.
2. Firmware & Software Collaboration
   • Work closely with embedded firmware engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware and software layers.
   • Contribute to low-level driver development and platform-independent environments when needed.
   • Develop prototypes and run system-level tests, refining designs based on performance metrics, medical requirements, and user feedback.
   • Verify compliance with relevant standards (ISO 13485, FDA guidelines) through rigorous testing and documentation.
3. Regulatory & Medical Compliance
   • Support the design and development of medical devices that adhere to ISO 13485 and FDA regulations, ensuring electronic sub-systems meet all safety and efficacy requirements.
   • Implement secure data handling measures, particularly for sensitive patient data.
4. Post-Production Support
   • Assist production and QA teams in troubleshooting board-level issues post-deployment, providing technical expertise to ensure minimal downtime.

Requirements & Skills

1. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
2. Senior Level: 4+ years of experience with circuit design, board bring-up, and embedded system integration.
3. Mid-Level: 2+ years of experience in electronics hardware and firmware co-development.
4. Technical Skills
   • Solid understanding of circuit design, PCB layout principles, and component selection.
   • Proficiency in schematic capture and experience with PCB design tools (e.g., OrCAD).
   • Hands-on experience with Renesas, STM32, or similar MCUs (16- to 32-bit).
   • Familiarity with embedded C or similar low-level programming languages.
   • Competence in protocol analysis (SPI, I2C, UART, BLE, etc.) and hardware debugging methods.
   • Capability to review, optimize, and debug system resources for performance and reliability.
   • Understanding of low-power design for IoT systems and real-time data handling.
5. Medical Device Expertise
