- Assess supplier and vendor capabilities to support product-development requirements.
- Support design verification and validation activities.
- Support product safety, electromagnetic interference and compatibility, and other regulatory compliance activities.
- Support design transfer to manufacturing, including design for manufacturability and design for test.
- Create, document, and manage cable routing, cable harnesses, and cable-management standards.
- Identify and solve complex technical problems with minimal supervision.
- Maintain strong organization, attention to detail, and technical documentation throughout the product-development lifecycle.
Experience Requirements: - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline required; master's degree preferred.
- 5 to 8+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience, including experience in regulated product development.
- Demonstrated experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design.
- Experience with electromechanical system design and integration.
- Proficiency with schematic-capture and PCB-design tools.
- Experience with the Altium 365 tool suite preferred.
- Experience with analog and digital circuit-simulation tools such as PSpice.
- Working knowledge of product-safety, electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic compatibility, and regulated product-development requirements.
- Experience developing technical specifications, electrical schematics, PCB design inputs, bills of materials, analyses, and test documentation.
- Experience selecting components based on technical requirements, performance, reliability, availability, and lifecycle considerations.
- Experience leading or participating in technical design reviews.
- Experience supporting prototype fabrication, assembly, bring-up, and testing.
- Experience troubleshooting electronic hardware and firmware.
- Experience supporting design verification, validation, regulatory compliance, and design transfer.
- Knowledge of design for manufacturability and design for test principles.
- Experience creating or managing cable routing, cable harnesses, and cable-management standards.
- Ability to operate common electrical laboratory equipment, including:
- Oscilloscopes
- Multimeters
- Power supplies
- Electronic loads
- Signal generators
- Experience developing electrical systems for medical devices or laboratory instrumentation preferred.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving skills.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and manufacturing partners.
Physical Requirements and Working Conditions: - Ability to work in a typical professional office and electronics laboratory environment.
- Ability to use standard office and engineering equipment, including computers and electrical laboratory instruments.
- Ability to remain stationary and perform computer-based design, analysis, simulation, and documentation work for extended periods.
- Manual dexterity sufficient to handle electronic components, prototypes, test fixtures, cables, and laboratory equipment.
- Visual acuity sufficient to inspect electronic assemblies, review schematics, monitor test equipment, and analyze technical data.
- Ability to participate in prototype assembly, hardware debugging, testing, and engineering laboratory activities.
- Ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders through verbal, written, and electronic communication.
