This role is ideal for a broad electrical and electronics engineering generalist who can support the remaining work on a current product program, learn the system and help create capacity for the team’s next development effort.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, implement, troubleshoot and validate electromechanical systems for commercial release in a Class III medical device environment.

• Ability to work effectively in a regulated, cross-functional product-development environment.
• Strong technical judgment, problem-solving skills and clear communication with engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
