Start: ASAP

Open Role Due To: Continued growth and expansion of a powered emergency medical equipment platform

About the Role

Our client, a global leader in emergency medical equipment and patient-handling solutions, is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the development and commercialization of powered products used in pre-hospital emergency medical environments.

This is a hands‑on engineering role with broad ownership across PCBA design, embedded firmware, DC motor controls, and lithium battery applications. You’ll contribute throughout the full product lifecycle—from initial concepts and component selection through prototyping, validation, production, and commercialization.

The role offers significant cross‑functional exposure within a global engineering and manufacturing organization, working closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, product management, and service teams.

What You’ll Do

• Develop electrical concepts and select appropriate technologies for new and existing products.
• Design PCBAs, including schematics, layouts, Gerber files, engineering drawings, and bills of materials.
• Develop, test, and troubleshoot embedded software and firmware using C and C++.
• Design and specify DC motor controls, motors, LiFePO4 batteries, microcontrollers, displays, and human-machine interfaces.
• Select connectors, sensors, wiring harnesses, EMC shielding, enclosures, and related electrical components.
• Support new products throughout the development lifecycle, from initial concept through commercialization.
• Build, test, troubleshoot, and refine prototypes and production‑ready electrical systems.
• Troubleshoot hardware, firmware, test equipment, validation systems, qualification equipment, and production issues.
• Develop technical procedures, engineering instructions, specifications, and other design documentation.
• Help establish appropriate test methods and support design verification and validation activities.
• Participate in Engineering Change Order and Phase‑Gate processes.
• Support Quality Management System and regulatory compliance activities.
• Coordinate with internal engineering and operations teams as well as contract manufacturers, vendors, external engineering partners, and field service providers.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Broad engineering ownership: Work across PCBA design, embedded firmware, motor controls, batteries, component selection, testing, and commercialization.
• Full product lifecycle exposure: See your work progress from early‑stage concepts through validation, manufacturing, and real‑world use.
• Meaningful products: Help develop powered equipment designed for demanding emergency medical environments.
• Cross‑functional visibility: Collaborate with engineering, production, quality, regulatory, product management, service, and external manufacturing partners.
• Hands‑on environment: Combine independent technical ownership with direct involvement in physical product development and troubleshooting.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5 years of related electrical engineering experience, ideally developing electrical systems for physical products.
• Hands‑on experience designing PCBAs, including schematics, layouts, manufacturing files, engineering drawings, and bills of materials.
• Experience with Altium Designer or comparable PCBA design tools, with Altium strongly preferred.
• Experience developing and troubleshooting embedded software or firmware using C and C++.
• Hands‑on experience with DC motor controls and lithium battery applications.
• Working knowledge of motors, microcontrollers, wireless communications, displays, and human interfaces.
• Experience selecting connectors, sensors, harnesses, EMC shielding, enclosures, and other electrical components.
• Experience supporting product development from concept through commercialization.
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical hardware, firmware, test systems, validation equipment, and qualification equipment.
• Strong technical documentation, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to independently own engineering work while collaborating effectively across functional teams.
• Ability to work onsite in Wilmington, Ohio.
• Ability to travel locally approximately 5%–10%.

Preferred Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering; other technical disciplines may be considered based on relevant experience.
• New Product Introduction (NPI) experience.
• Experience with SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM.
• Experience developing products within the medical device industry or an ISO 13485 environment.
• Familiarity with FDA requirements, ISO 14971, MDD 93/42/EEC, and/or MDR.
• Familiarity with applicable IEC, UL, UN, CSA, CE, and EN electrical standards.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers, external engineering firms, vendors, or other product‑development partners.
