If you enjoy building things, solving challenging technical problems, and seeing your designs come to life in real-world applications, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, and support electrical components and subsystems for Mako robotic end effectors, taking ownership of assigned electrical designs throughout the development lifecycle.
• Translate product requirements into electrical engineering specifications, circuit designs, and technical solutions.
• Perform schematic design, PCB development, component selection, and electrical hardware integration activities.
• Build and evaluate prototypes, conduct bench testing, and validate electrical functionality and performance.
• Troubleshoot electrical hardware and system-level issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement effective solutions.
• Integrate electrical hardware with mechanical, software, and other system components to support reliable robotic system performance.
• Evaluate existing designs, identify opportunities for improvement, and support ongoing product development and engineering changes.
• Conduct electrical testing, verification activities, and technical investigations to ensure designs meet performance, safety, and quality requirements.
• Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, design specifications, test procedures, technical reports, and design history records.
• Collaborate with Systems, Mechanical, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, and other cross-functional teams to resolve technical challenges and support successful product development.
• Apply engineering best practices, design controls, and risk management principles in accordance with applicable medical device regulations and quality system requirements.

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline is required.
• 2 or more years of professional engineering experience is required.

Preferred Qualifications (You do not need to have all of these)

• Experience designing, developing, building, testing, and troubleshooting electrical hardware or subsystems.
• Experience with electrical schematic design, PCB development, and component selection.
• Proficiency with electrical design tools, with experience using Altium Designer preferred.
• Hands-on experience with electrical prototyping, bench testing, and laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Experience troubleshooting electrical circuits and resolving hardware integration or system-level issues.
• Understanding of electrical system integration and interactions between hardware, software, and mechanical components.
• Experience translating engineering requirements into electrical designs, test plans, and verification activities.
• Familiarity with electrical manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability, and hardware reliability considerations.
• Experience supporting electromechanical systems, robotics, or other complex integrated products.
• Experience working in a regulated industry, particularly medical devices, including familiarity with design controls, risk management, and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a hands-on, collaborative approach to engineering challenges.
• Ability to independently manage technical assignments, communicate findings, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

• $89,300 - $148,800 USD Annual
