About This Role

The Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering is a leader responsible for building, leading, and scaling engineering teams that support high-volume manufacturing of iRhythm’s medical devices.

This role focuses on organizational leadership, cross-functional execution, and operational excellence, ensuring engineering teams consistently deliver robust, compliant, and scalable manufacturing solutions. This role partners closely with Operations, Quality, R&D, and Supply Chain leadership to drive alignment, manage risk, and enable sustained product quality and manufacturing performance.

While a strong technical foundation is important, success in this role is defined by the ability to lead teams, set direction, develop talent, and drive results through others in a regulated environment.

What You Will Be Doing

Leadership and Team Development

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of electrical and test engineers supporting PCBA testing, process improvement, and troubleshooting.
• Build technical and leadership capabilities aligned with iRhythm’s operational excellence and quality culture.
• Drive accountability, engagement, and continuous improvement across the electrical engineering function.
• Partner cross-functionally with R&D, Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, and external suppliers to ensure seamless product lifecycle support.

PCBA Testing and Validation

• Collaborate and guide the design, development, and validation of automated PCBA test systems (ICT and functional circuit testing).
• Lead a team that can design the test coverage strategy and ensure compliance with Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles.
• Collaborate closely with iRhythm’s contract manufacturing partners (CMs) to monitor and improve yield, test accuracy, and throughput.
• Develop and sustain test data collection and traceability systems to support quality metrics and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure all testing activities comply with ISO 13485, IEC 60601, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 standards.

Failure Analysis and Root Cause Resolution

• Lead a team to perform PCBA and system-level failure analysis on in-process, returned, and reliability-tested products.
• Use and introduce advanced diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, X-ray, and functional test data to drive root cause investigations.
• Partner with design engineering teams to identify and mitigate failure modes impacting long-term device performance.
• Document and communicate findings clearly through structured reports and presentations to leadership and quality teams.

Process Ownership and Continuous Improvement

• Establish and maintain standardized test procedures, calibration, and verification processes for all test stations.
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve capacity, first-pass yield, field reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Support internal and external audits by ensuring full documentation, validation records, and process control evidence are maintained.
• Lead technical reviews and post-mortems for PCBA issues to ensure knowledge sharing and design learning across teams.

Qualifications

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in medical device manufacturing, with 5+ years in a leadership or management role.
• Experience with medical devices, FDA-regulated environments, or ISO 13485 quality systems strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success in PCBA testing, test system development, and electrical failure analysis.

Leadership and Interpersonal Skills

• Proven ability to lead high-performing technical teams in a fast-paced production environment.
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence engineering, operations, and quality teams.
• Comfortable presenting complex technical topics to both executive and non-technical audiences.
• Results-oriented mindset with a focus on root cause resolution and continuous improvement.
