• Design, develop, and troubleshoot printed circuit assemblies, power distribution, cables, and harnesses for medical imaging products.
• Own portions of the electrical design process from concept through design transfer, verification, and support of manufacturing and field service.
• Specify, select, and test electronic and electro‑mechanical components to meet product requirements and regulatory standards.
• Build and maintain prototypes, test fixtures, and test setups; define test methods and conditions to qualify designs.
• Provide technical support for manufacturing and service issues, driving root‑cause analysis and effective corrective actions.
• Create and maintain design documentation (schematics, requirements, specifications, verification reports, ECNs) in accordance with design control procedures.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, systems, software, compliance, reliability, and manufacturing teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous improvement efforts (cost reduction, quality, EOL, CAPA, VIP).

• Experience in an FDA‑regulated medical device or similarly regulated industry is a plus.

Technical Skills (desired):

• Experience with analog/digital circuit design, PCB design, and PCBA manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency with schematic capture / PCB CAD tools (Mentor, CADSTAR, OrCAD, Altium, or similar).
• Hands‑on use of lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum/logic analyzers, function generators, etc.).
• Knowledge of SMPS, mixed‑signal design (ADC/DAC), EMI/ESD mitigation, SI/PI, and high‑speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, 10G Ethernet) is highly valued.
• Familiarity with IEC 60601-1 / 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, EMC standards, and full product lifecycle.

Soft Skills:

• Strong problem‑solving and root‑cause analysis abilities.
