About the roleHinge Health is seeking an Electrical Engineer II to join our Hardware Engineering team. In this role, you will play a key part in the development and sustaining work for our hardware products.
As a junior-to-mid-level engineer, you will work on diverse projects, driving board-level designs for highly integrated medical devices from schematic to layout to assembly. You will work cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to bring products from concept through production. You will also work on sustaining engineering to support the continuing success of our products post-launch.
The ideal candidate is excited about solving real problems with hardware - your work will have a direct impact on reducing pain and improving the lives of our millions of members. In joining our HW group within the broader R&D organization, you will be part of a highly capable, motivated, small team where your contributions and ideas truly matter.
Help develop the electrical systems behind Hinge Health's connected hardware products. As an Electrical Engineer on the Hardware Engineering team, you'll contribute to board-level designs from early exploration through production, working closely with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing partners. Your work will help bring reliable medical devices to members working to reduce pain and improve their lives.
What You'll AccomplishIn your first 3 months- Build an understanding of our hardware products, electrical design practices, product development process, and manufacturing needs
- Contribute to embedded-system electrical design, including component selection, schematic capture, and PCB layout
In your first 6 months- Partner with mechanical, firmware, and senior electrical engineers on system architecture and integration
- Take part in prototyping, detailed design, testing, and preparation for production
- Document design decisions and test results to support product quality and applicable medical-device requirements
In your first year- Drive board-level design work across product development, from exploration and prototyping through verification and production ramp
- Support manufacturing and sustaining engineering through test or process development, design-for-manufacturing improvements, and component-level failure analysis
- Help sustain products after launch and identify design changes that can improve cost or manufacturability
Who You Are- You are a hands-on electrical engineer who enjoys turning product needs into reliable embedded hardware
- You bring a Learn-it-all mindset, seek feedback, and keep building your technical knowledge
- You take accountability for your work, communicate progress and risks, and follow through on commitments
- You work well across disciplines and are motivated by the impact thoughtful hardware can have on people's lives
Basic Qualifications- 2+ years of professional experience in hardware development or embedded-systems design
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout for multilayer boards, including hands-on board bring-up, debugging, and rework on high-density designs
- Experience designing microcontroller-based systems (such as ARM Cortex-M or MSP430) and using standard digital interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, or USB; proficiency with common lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, and soldering or hot-air rework equipment
Preferred Qualifications- Proficiency with Altium Designer
- Experience with battery management, Bluetooth Low Energy, high-voltage circuits, or analog design
- Experience developing medical devices or products in another regulated industry, such as aerospace or automotive
- Familiarity with EMI/EMC practices and certification processes such as FCC, CE, or UL
- Basic proficiency in Python for test automation or C/C++ for firmware changes that support bring-up and testing
- Experience transitioning designs to manufacturing and applying design-for-manufacturing practices
Hinge Health Hybrid ModelWe believe that remote work and in-person work have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we want to be able to leverage the best of both worlds. Employees in hybrid roles are required to be in the office 3 days per week, for the full 8 hours of a typical business day. The San Francisco office has a dog-friendly workplace program.
