Lead the Electronics Hardware Function that Powers Surgical Innovation

Bausch Lomb (NYSE/TSX: BLCO) has protected and enhanced the gift of sight for more than 170 years. With 13,000 colleagues, a presence in ~100 countries, and a portfolio exceeding 400 eye‑health products, our mission remains simple and powerful: helping you see better to live better.

Day in the life

In this senior manager role, you will start your day aligning a multidisciplinary team of electrical engineers, designers, and technicians on priorities across several Class II and III surgical device programs. Mid-morning might find you reviewing a mixed-signal PCB update or cable interconnect change for manufacturability, while ensuring adherence to IEC 60601 and related standards. In the afternoon, you’ll partner with software, mechanical, systems, quality, and manufacturing teams to unblock issues, finalize a 510(k) submission package, and mentor engineers through a design review. You close the day by tracking team metrics, resource loading, and risks across the roadmap.

What you’ll lead

• Ownership of the Electronics Design Group for surgical equipment R&D, guiding architecture, development, verification, and commercialization of electronic systems for complex electromechanical and embedded medical devices.
• Maintenance and evolution of an installed base of 50 mixed-signal PCBs and associated cable interconnections, emphasizing quality and manufacturability.
• End-to-end lifecycle leadership—from concept and prototyping to design verification, transfer to manufacturing, and post-market support—while ensuring compliance with IEC 60601, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and IEC 62304.
• Project planning and estimation: provide scope, resource, schedule, and risk assessments to new product development (NPD) project managers.
• Definition and continuous improvement of electronics development practices, tools, documentation, and cross-functional design reviews.
• Technical direction across analog/digital design, power management, sensors, wireless communication, and embedded systems.
• Collaboration with suppliers, external partners, and contract manufacturers as needed.
• Regulatory support as the electronics SME for 510(k) and PMA submissions and during audits.
• Long-term strategy, capability building, and KPI tracking for engineering deliverables and team development.

Qualifications

Required

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 10 years of electrical systems design experience in the medical device industry.
• Depth in digital, analog, and mixed-signal electronics.
• Hands-on understanding of rapid prototyping and production PCB processes.
• Strong command of IEC 60601-1, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and regulatory requirements for Class II electronic medical devices.
• Proven mastery of design documentation (DHF/DMR) and experience with post-market or acquisition integration.
• Fluency with ECAD tools such as Altium and OrCAD (or equivalents) and with Aras PLM for document control.
• Ability to assess mechanical and software design inputs and deliverables.
• Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and communication skills—including conveying complex topics clearly to non-technical leaders in cross-company settings.
• Self-starter comfortable combining individual contribution with people leadership.

Preferred

• Experience with standards compliance testing and verification.
• Background in post-merger technical integration or design transfer.
• Comfort with legacy systems and closing reverse-engineering documentation gaps.

Core proficiencies

• Electrical schematics and PCB components/assembly.
• Electrical troubleshooting and repair at board and system level.
• Engineering fundamentals consistent with an accredited Engineering degree.

Quality and regulatory environment

Your work will align with IEC 60601, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and IEC 62304 and support FDA and EU design control expectations, including documentation and risk management best practices.
