Job Description Summary
Lead Electrical Engineer - Design to Value (DtV), Magnetic Resonance (MR)

Help improve the affordability and reliability of Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems-so more patients can access high-quality imaging when it matters most.

In this Lead Electrical Engineer - Design to Value (DtV) role, you will analyze and design electronic hardware used within MR systems to reduce cost and improve reliability, while maintaining high performance and quality. You'll collaborate closely with engineering and supply chain partners across multiple subsystems, giving you meaningful exposure to a wide range of technologies and an excellent opportunity to deepen your technical breadth.

You'll apply your experience in component specification analysis, analog and mixed-signal circuit design, power supply design, and circuit board development to deliver design and architecture updates. Your work will introduce new components and technologies into subsystems and help implement platform updates and best practices.

Work Location: Hybrid / On site (3-5 days per week in office)
Sponsorship: Sponsorship will not be considered for this role. No OPTs or Visas of any type.

Job Description
What you will do (Essential Responsibilities)

Duties include (but are not limited to):
  • Own schematic capture and partner with layout teams to support printed circuit board (PCB) layout for boards that may include:
    small-signal radio frequency (RF) circuits, high-fidelity analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converters (ADCs/DACs), phase-locked loops (PLLs), FPGAs/processors, high-speed interfaces, industry-standard digital interfaces, and power supplies.
  • Propose, analyze, and scope design updates and projects aligned with reducing cost (for example, reduced bill of materials (BOM) cost, reliability improvements, supplier changes, or other approaches).
  • Prioritize projects using return on investment (ROI), cost savings, and strategic benefit metrics.
  • Write clear, detailed functional specifications that document new designs and support product introduction.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (for example: FPGA, firmware, systems) to scope, review, and support design updates, and work with related subsystems (for example: transmit/receive coil design, power, cooling) to manage interactions.
  • Lead technical investigations to reduce risk on design updates and ensure high-quality outcomes.
  • Test and verify hardware to confirm it meets specifications and requirements through bench testing, system integration testing, reliability testing, and related methods.
  • Stay current with industry developments and interfaces by continually building your knowledge and skills.
