Job description

As part of the New Product Development (NPD) team, the candidate should be able to perform the following duties, but they are not limited to the following:

• Responsible for understanding the system/product requirements
• Derive hardware requirement specifications & Hardware interface specifications for software

Hardware System / Subsystem Engineering

• Conceptualization & Prototyping: Lead end-to‑end conceptual studies and feasibility assessments by designing, building, and troubleshooting module- and system-level prototypes.
• Detailed Design & Simulation: Hardware architecture development, execute core schematic capture, perform circuit simulations, conduct worst‑case calculations, select components, and manage Bills of Materials (BOM).
• PCB & System Integration: Conduct rigorous PCB layout reviews and drive the physical integration of electronic subsystems, cable harnesses, and connectors into mechanical enclosures.
• Design Excellence (DFx): Apply DFM, DFA, and DFT principles throughout the product development lifecycle to ensure high yields and quality.
• Risk & Quality Management: Facilitate Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), identify technical risks, formulate mitigation plans, and compile complete hardware design documentation.

Design Qualification & Technical Resolution

• Hardware Verification & Testing: Author comprehensive hardware test plans and execute hands‑on verification at the circuit, module, and product levels to validate circuit design integrity and overall system performance.
• Pre‑Compliance & Regulatory Testing: Plan and execute pre‑compliance testing for EMI/EMC and electrical safety standards to ensure readiness for formal medical certification.
• Issue Resolution & Debugging: Systematically analyze, troubleshoot, and drive the root‑cause closure of identified technical bugs and design anomalies.

Program Management & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Project Execution & Timelines: Partner closely with the Project Manager and Hardware Lead during planning phases to ensure high‑quality hardware deliverables are met within agreed timelines.
• Cross‑Functional Coordination: Collaborate seamlessly with firmware/software, mechanical, procurement, and manufacturing teams to drive cohesive end‑to‑end product development.
