Sr. Manager, Electrical Engineering

Company Overview:

Founded in 2022, Field Medical is a clinical-stage medical technology company committed to advancing pulsed field ablation (PFA) solutions for complex cardiac arrhythmias. Its FieldForce Ablation System integrates a focal catheter design with proprietary FieldBending energy designed to safely deliver efficient, precise ablation with the goal of improving outcomes in ventricular and atrial arrhythmia treatment. In 2024, Field Medical earned Breakthrough Device Designation and gained entry into the FDA TAP Pilot Program for its ventricular tachycardia indication. In October 2025, the VCAS trial was published in Circulation.

The FieldForce Ablation System is a focal, contact-sensing PFA system built on proprietary FieldBending™ technology to deliver targeted, high-intensity electric fields using a novel pulsed energy delivery strategy. Designed to support both atrial and ventricular ablation, the system serves as a universal ablation platform for the heart and beyond. The FieldForce system is designed to enable targeted and tailored ablation treatment while platform features focus on procedural efficiency.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Sr. Manager of Hardware Engineering to lead the development of a Class III medical device based on pulsed field ablation (PFA) technology. This individual will provide technical and organizational leadership across the full hardware development lifecycle, from architecture and design through verification, validation, and submission. The ideal candidate will bring deep domain expertise in electrical engineering, a strong command of medical device development requirements, and the leadership capability to drive a focused engineering team in delivering against program milestones.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

Mechanical & Electrical Engineering

• Lead the design, development, and verification of a complex electro-mechanical system for a PFA Class III medical device.
• Direct high-voltage pulsed power system development, including energy delivery circuits, pulse generators, and switching architectures.
• Oversee schematic capture, PCB design, component selection, and hardware integration activities across the development program.
• Oversee Mechanical design across the development program.
• Drive use of simulation and analysis as part of the development process, and verification of the simulation through engineering methods.
• Ensure electrical designs satisfy applicable safety, EMC, and compatibility requirements for active medical devices.
• Lead and contribute to design reviews (CDR, PDR, FDR) and provide technical guidance across the hardware development lifecycle.
• Establish and maintain hardware design standards, processes, and best practices aligned with quality system requirements.
• Provide technical direction and organizational oversight to a team of mechanical and electrical engineers, supporting professional development and performance.
• Define engineering priorities and resource plans in alignment with program objectives and organizational goals.

Regulatory & Quality

• Author and review design history file (DHF) documentation including specifications, verification protocols, and test reports in compliance with 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485.
• Support FDA submissions (PMA, 510(k)) and provide technical input to regulatory correspondence and design documentation.
• Ensure hardware designs conform to applicable standards including IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and ISO 14971 (risk management).
• Partner with quality and regulatory affairs to maintain design control compliance throughout the product lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:

• 7 years of progressive experience in mechanical and/or electrical engineering, with significant experience in regulated medical device development.
• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Extensive expertise in electrical component selection, analog/digital circuit design, and PCB development.
• Experience with Class II or Class III active medical devices; Class III strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience in high-voltage or pulsed power circuit design.
• Thorough working knowledge of IEC 60601 series standards, FDA design controls, and DHF/DMR documentation requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to lead engineering teams and contribute substantively at a technical level within a regulated development environment.
• Experience planning and executing hardware programs across multiple phases of the product development lifecycle.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct experience with pulsed field ablation, electroporation, or cardiac ablation technologies.
• Familiarity with catheter-based or minimally invasive device hardware systems.
• Experience supporting PMA submissions or FDA design-related correspondence.
• Track record of advancing a device program through first-in-human or commercial launch.

Location & Travel Requirements:

• In-Person
• Willingness to travel up to 10%
