Job description

Sr. Electrical Engineer – Implantable Medical Devices

We are seeking a Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of a Class III implantable neuromodulation system for deep brain stimulation (DBS). This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer passionate about precision, quality, and innovation in medical technology. You will guide a technical team, make impactful decisions on electrical components, and drive the development of breakthrough therapies that transform patient outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of implantable neuromodulation systems, accessories, test systems, and manufacturing fixtures.
• Design and analyze electronic circuits, including embedded systems, mixed-signal analog/digital circuits, and power management/charging circuits.
• Own schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, BOMs, characterization, and system integration.
• Establish electrical product requirements and specifications.
• Design and execute experiments to validate concepts and develop new test methods.
• Characterize and verify hardware performance to ensure medical-grade precision and reliability.
• Drive design-for-reliability and manufacturability improvements.
• Mentor and train contract manufacturing engineers and technicians.
• Participate in verification testing protocols and risk management documentation (hazard analysis, FMEA).
• Collaborate with system, firmware, mechanical, and test engineering teams for full system integration.
• Contribute to intellectual property through innovative concepts and technical disclosures.
• Operate in compliance with design controls and quality system procedures.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and design reviews.
• Communicate with clinicians to gather feedback on product prototypes.
• Collaborate with Marketing, Regulatory, and Quality to align design inputs and verification activities with business objectives.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree with 8 years, Master’s with 6 years, or PhD with 3 years of related experience in medical device development or verification (Class III preferred).
• Minimum 5 years in a regulated industry; medical device experience strongly preferred.
• Strong expertise in embedded system design, mixed-signal electronics, and power electronics.
• Experience with FDA submission processes, ISO standards (13485), QSR, and relevant product development standards (60601, 14708, 14971, FCC).
• Proficiency in software engineering and firmware development (C, Assembly, Python).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.
• Ability to travel up to 10% domestically and internationally.

No specific shift requirements; the role is mostly self-directed with flexible scheduling.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer. Sponsorship is not available for this position now or in the future.
