Summary/Objective:

We are looking for an Electrical Systems Engineer to join our R&D team and own system-level electrical development, taking projects from concept to validated, shippable hardware. This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role where you'll solve challenging technical integration problems and drive benchtop prototyping, debugging, and test execution for both new and existing products. As a fast-paced company with a small team, at Avive you'll quickly gain exposure to every stage of the product development cycle and have the opportunity to directly see the life-saving impact of your work in the field

Essential Duties and Responsibilities
• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, test, and quality engineers to develop, test, and launch features for life-saving products and accessories.
• Investigate feasibility of product changes, explore new and alternate peripheral components, and work closely with both electrical and firmware team members to integrate these modules into the existing design.
• Support benchtop programming and bring-up of new PCBAs. Validate electronics for production readiness.
• Analyze firmware-hardware interactions to identify failure mechanisms, determine trade-offs, and recommend design improvements.
• Support ongoing manufacturing of products through BOM improvements, alternate component selection and qualification, and debug of failed devices from the manufacturing line.
• Support products in the field through cross-functional debugging spanning electrical failure analysis, system log reviews, and collaboration with the quality, manufacturing, and customer success teams.
• Debug circuit behavior across a wide range of electronic modules (MCUs, switching power supplies, high voltage, ECG, audio, cellular, Wi-Fi, and more).
• Instrument, operate, and interpret data from oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment to characterize system behaviors.
• Design and execute test suites, analyze data, present data-driven conclusions, and document results through technical reports.

Required Education and Experience
• B.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• 3+ years of experience shipping hardware to the field
• Strong technical foundation in circuit theory and analysis.
• Hands-on experience designing, testing, and analyzing mixed-signal circuitry.
• Familiarity with embedded firmware

Preferred Experience and Qualifications
• Experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer)
• Experience with scripting programming tools (e.g., Python)
• Experience working on medical or health devices (e.g., in an FDA or ISO regulated environment)

Anticipated salary range: $120,000 - $150,000

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
