• Perform electrical design verification, debugging, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment.
• Develop embedded electrical designs and support system integration activities.
• Analyze signal integrity and board‑level PCB design issues to ensure robust product performance.
• Collaborate with Mechanical, Firmware, Systems, Quality, Manufacturing, and Regulatory teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Support design verification, validation, design reviews, and engineering documentation.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives for product quality, manufacturability, and reliability.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in an Electrical Engineering role.
• Hands‑on experience with:
• PCBA concept development, design, prototyping, manufacturing, and troubleshooting
• Analog and digital circuit design
• Embedded electrical systems
• PCB design using Cadence and/or Altium
• Experience debugging electrical systems using oscilloscopes and other electronic test equipment.
• Strong understanding of PCB layout, board‑level design, and signal integrity principles.
• Excellent collaboration, communication, technical leadership, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional internal and external teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with rigid‑flex and flex PCB design.
• Experience integrating motors into electrical systems.
• Knowledge of DC motor control (brushed, brushless, servo motors).
• Experience with communication protocols such as Bluetooth, SPI, I2C, USB, UART, and USART.
• PCB layout expertise using Cadence and/or Altium.
• Knowledge of EMC/EMI design, ESD protection, electrically fast transients, and electrical immunity.
• Experience with medical device standards including IEC 60601‑1 and IEC 60601‑2‑2.
• Experience with Design for Test (DFT), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and Design for Assembly (DFA).
• Programming experience in C, C++, Python, or LabVIEW.
• Experience with design controls and regulated product development.
• Experience using engineering calculations, simulation, modeling, and laboratory testing to validate product designs.

This opportunity is ideal for Electrical Engineers with strong PCB/PCBA design expertise and embedded electronics experience who are interested in supporting innovative product development within a collaborative and highly regulated engineering environment.
