Position Overview:
We are growing our engineering team and looking for a driven, detail-oriented Senior Electrical Design Engineer to take ownership of complex hardware programs from concept through volume production. This is a hands-on technical leadership position for someone who thrives at the intersection of rigorous circuit design, DFM, and embedded systems - and who wants to see their work shipped in real-world, regulated products.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Drive the complete hardware development lifecycle - from architecture and specification through schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, validation, and handoff to manufacturing.
-
Lead PCB design initiatives, ensuring layouts are performant, scalable, and optimized for high-volume production.
-
Review and finalize routing and layout concepts, defining the electrical scope for each product.
-
Translate early-stage design concepts into production-ready circuit solutions.
-
Design and integrate systems built around MPUs, memory, and FPGAs, working closely with embedded software teams on low-level driver requirements.
-
Partner with cross-functional teams to define, iterate on, and validate hardware and firmware requirements.
-
Realize compact, constraint-driven single-board control systems.
-
Produce and maintain rigorous documentation: design requirements, component selection rationale, engineering calculations, power budgets, and thermal analyses.
-
Design and build test fixtures to support hardware validation and functional verification.
-
Actively contribute to regulatory and quality processes, with particular emphasis on FDA and ISO 13485 requirements.
Required Qualifications:
-
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
-
5-10+ years of hands-on product development experience in electrical engineering roles.
-
5+ years of proficiency with Altium Designer, Autodesk Eagle, or equivalent PCB CAD platforms.
-
Demonstrated experience navigating compliance requirements in regulated industries (FDA, ISO 13485, or equivalent).
-
A clear record of taking PCBs from first prototype through DFM review and into volume manufacturing.
-
Strong embedded hardware skills, including C and Assembly for low-level system development.
Preferred skills:
-
Verilog / FPGA / ASIC, LabVIEW (3-5 yrs)
-
Java
-
NI CLD or CLA certification
-
Medical device launch experience
-
PhD or MS/ME in EECS
Preferred Qualifications:
-
PhD or MS/ME in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
-
National Instruments certification (CLD or CLA) and hands-on LabVIEW development in automated test environments.
-
End-to-end experience bringing a medical device or similarly regulated hardware product to market.
-
Working knowledge of Verilog, FPGA, or ASIC design flows.
