- 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 creating technical specifications, schematics, PCB design inputs, bills of materials, analyses, and test documentation.
- Experience selecting components based on technical requirements, performance, reliability, availability, and product needs.
- Experience leading or participating in technical design reviews.
- Experience coordinating prototype fabrication and assembly and troubleshooting electronic hardware and firmware.
- Experience supporting design verification, validation, regulatory compliance, and design transfer to manufacturing.
- Knowledge of design for manufacturability and design for test principles.
- Experience creating and managing cable routing, cable harnesses, and cable-management standards.
- Ability to operate common electrical laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, and signal generators.
- Experience developing electrical systems for medical devices or laboratory instrumentation preferred.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, organizational, and technical problem-solving skills.
