Job description

• Design and develop microcontroller and FPGA architectures for medical measurement and control systems
• Develop and verify FPGA designs using Verilog/VHDL for real-time signal processing and timing-critical applications
• Design and troubleshoot low-noise, low-leakage analog signal conditioning circuits, including femtoampere-range measurement systems
• Define system requirements, functional specifications, and verification/acceptance criteria
• Participate in design reviews and design control activities
• Own electrical design documentation, including schematics, PCB layout specifications, design specifications, and technical procedures
• Analyze and optimize noise, leakage, signal integrity, and overall circuit performance
• Support verification, validation, manufacturing troubleshooting, and design-for-manufacturability activities
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and other engineering teams to bring designs from concept through production
• Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical subject matter expert on complex electrical design and troubleshooting challenges
• Ensure designs meet applicable medical-device regulatory and quality requirements, including IEC 60601, design controls, and traceability
• Maintain comprehensive engineering documentation and design records throughout the product development lifecycle

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent discipline
• 8–10+ years in electrical design and analysis with hands-on circuit design experience
• Exceptional technical proficiency in digital design: microcontroller architecture, FPGA design (Verilog/VHDL), embedded systems
• Strong experience in medical device product development (product lifecycle, design controls, FDA/IEC 60601)
• Proficiency in DFM, FMEA, failure analysis, and reliability testing principles
• Experience with design requirement flow-down, acceptance criteria, and design verification/validation
• Self-directed, independent contributor; able to drive complex designs without heavy supervision
• Proven ability to mentor and troubleshoot with junior engineers
• Strong technical documentation skills; background in regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, automotive preferred)

Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in electrical design and analysis, particularly in microcontroller and FPGA architectures for medical devices. Proficient in developing and verifying designs while ensuring compliance with medical device regulatory standards.
