• Lead the architecture, design, and development of electrical systems, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and electronic subsystems for medical devices.
• Develop and evaluate system-level electrical designs, including power distribution, grounding, isolation, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC performance.
• Perform technical trade-off analyses to balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and regulatory compliance.
• Lead root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions for complex electrical and system-level issues.
• Plan and oversee design verification activities, including functional, environmental, EMC, and safety testing.
• Review and approve electrical engineering deliverables, such as schematics, PCB layouts, test protocols, and technical documentation.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance to cross‑functional teams to elevate overall technical capability.
• Identify and assess emerging technologies, components, and design approaches that enhance product performance and innovation.
• Support product transfer to manufacturing and ensure that designs meet applicable medical device standards and regulatory requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, tools, and methodologies related to electrical and electronic systems.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
