Job description

The Role

You'll take ownership of the electrical system across Remedy's surgical robot platform — the boards, the architecture, and the path to production. You'll design, build, and bring up the boards that drive our motors, manage sensing, and tie together the electromechanical system — from schematic capture through board bring-up and production handoff. You'll work closely with our mechanical, firmware, and systems teams to ship hardware that meets medical device standards.

You Will

• Own schematic design, analysis, and board bring-up for Remedy's core motor controller board (HMB) and peripheral electronics.
• Design and debug PCBs with attention to EMI, power integrity, and signal integrity in a mixed-signal, motor-driven environment.
• Drive board revisions from prototype through design verification and transfer to manufacturing.
• Collaborate with mechanical and firmware engineers to define interfaces, connectors, cabling, and integration requirements.
• Manage EE project timelines — ordering boards, coordinating assembly, and communicating schedules to the broader team.
• Contribute to the cart-level electrical architecture including power distribution, safety circuits, and system grounding.
• Support design controls and documentation for our quality system (IEC 62304 / IEC 60601 context).

You Have

• ~5+ years of experience designing and bringing up PCBs in a professional setting.
• Strong fundamentals in schematic capture, circuit analysis, EMI/EMC, and power design.
• Hands‑on board bring-up and debugging skills (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, bench supply are second nature).
• Experience with motor drive circuits (BLDC preferred).
• Comfort working across domains with ME, FW, and SW teams in a fast‑moving environment.
• Clear, proactive communication style — you close loops and flag risks early.
• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.

Nice To Have

• Experience in medical device development (IEC 60601, ISO 13485 environment).
• PCB layout skills (or enough fluency to review and guide layout).
• Soldering and rework ability for prototype iterations.
• Experience with flex or rigid‑flex PCB design.
• Familiarity with EMC pre‑compliance testing.
• Previous startup or small‑team experience where you owned a subsystem end‑to‑end.
