Job description

Stryker is hiring a Staff Electrical Engineer, Embedded Systems for our Sports Medicine business in Greenwood Village, CO. In this role, you will serve as a senior technical contributor, supporting the full product life cycle including sustainment, design, development, and verification of complex electrical and software systems for our line of Arthroscopy pumps and soft‑tissue/bone resection medical devices. You will apply technical expertise to solve design challenges by translating clinical and user needs into robust solutions. You will collaborate cross‑functionally with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Clinical partners, ensuring designs meet performance, quality, and regulatory standards.

What you will do

• Design, develop, and verify electrical and software components and sub‑systems for regulated medical devices.
• Bring‑up and debug electrical/firmware integration at the signal level, diagnosing failures across the hardware/software boundary.
• Support product End of Life (EOL) component evaluations, execute design changes and complete engineering change orders to support sustained market success.
• Apply circuit, system, and software test methods, including prototyping, verification, validation, and design reviews to ensure robust, compliant designs.
• Help translate user, clinical, and Voice of Customer inputs into clear design requirements, specifications, and architectures at the component and sub‑system level.
• Analyze and resolve design issues using independent judgment, balancing technical, regulatory, cost, and schedule tradeoffs.
• Develop, modify, and review software per defined architecture and requirements, applying design principles, coding standards, and best practices in code reviews.
• Contribute to high‑quality engineering documentation, including requirements, design artifacts, test strategies, defect tracking, and Design History Files.
• Work closely with cross‑functional teams (R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing, and Project Management), influencing outcomes and driving projects forward.

What you need

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline.
• Minimum of 4+ years of experience designing and developing embedded systems, with hands‑on ownership across both hardware and firmware domains; including PCB bring‑up, signal‑level debugging, component failure analysis, alternative component selection and qualification, and/or embedded firmware development.
• Understanding of electrical components and common failure modes, with the ability to interpret, analyze, and test electrical and system‑level designs.
• Experience analyzing system architectures, schematics, and design documentation to understand design intent and implement changes within defined technical and regulatory constraints.

Preferred

• Experience in Medical Device development or other regulated industries.
• Working knowledge of the end‑to‑end electrical design process, including use of CAD and circuit design/analysis tools.
• Experience developing software in C/C++ and applying software engineering best practices, including code analysis, memory management, defect resolution, integration, deployment, and SDLC methodologies.

Posted Date: 07/21/2026 This role will be posted for a minimum of 3 days.
