Job description

Role

• Lead the Embedded & Electronics Engineering team with responsibility for New Product Introduction (NPI), product engineering, team management and technical readiness of products from prototype through production, validation and field deployment.
• The Team Lead will manage and mentor junior embedded engineers while ensuring timely engineering delivery across the companys product portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

NPI & Product Engineering

• Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) activities from engineering prototype to production-ready products.
• Translate product requirements into electronics, embedded and system-level specifications.
• Define and review system architecture, microcontrollers/processors, electronic components and embedded subsystems.
• drive engineering builds through prototype, EVT, DVT, PVT and pilot-production stages.
• Lead PCB bring-up, firmware integration, subsystem integration and system-level troubleshooting.
• Ensure Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), serviceability and reliability.
• Drive BOM optimization, component selection, alternate-component qualification and lifecycle management.
• Coordinate technical activities with mechanical, software, AI, manufacturing, quality and regulatory teams.
• Support vendor evaluation and technical qualification of electronic components and assemblies.
• Ensure smooth engineering transfer from R&D to production.

Team Leadership

• Manage and technically guide junior and mid-level Embedded Engineers.
• Allocate product ownership and engineering tasks across the embedded team.
• Review firmware, electronics designs, engineering calculations, schematics and test results.
• Conduct regular design reviews and technical problem-solving sessions.
• Monitor engineering timelines, deliverables and closure of technical issues.
• Mentor engineers in structured debugging, verification, documentation and product-development practices.
• Ensure accountability for assigned product development and maintenance.

Verification, Validation & Compliance

• Define product verification, reliability and engineering-validation strategies.
• Review test plans, verification protocols and engineering test reports.
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for critical system failures.
• Support EMI/EMC, electrical safety, environmental and product certification activities.
• Ensure engineering readiness for clinical validation and field deployment.
• Maintain requirement-to-design-to-verification traceability where applicable.

Released Product & Field Support

• Oversee technical maintenance of released products.
• Review field failures, customer issues and recurring product problems.
• Drive ECO/ECN, design improvements and corrective/preventive engineering actions.
• Ensure appropriate firmware version control and configuration management.
• Support production teams during assembly, calibration, testing and troubleshooting.
• Participate in critical customer installations and field validation when required.

Technical Expectations

• Strong understanding of microcontrollers, embedded processors and system architecture.
• Strong proficiency in Embedded C/C++.
