Key Responsibilities:

  • Own full hardware development lifecycle: Specification, architecture, circuit design, simulation, schematic capture, prototyping, validation, and release to manufacturing.
  • Lead PCB design and enhancement projects, ensuring scalability, manufacturability, and performance.
  • Translate early-stage concept layouts into robust, production-ready circuit designs.
  • Review layout and routing concepts to finalize the electrical scope of products.
  • Design systems including MPUs, memory, and FPGAs (preferred but not required), ensuring low-level integration with embedded software.
  • Implement control systems in compact, single-board designs with tight constraints.
  • Create and maintain thorough documentation including design requirements, component selection rationale, calculations, and power/thermal budgets.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, evaluate, and refine hardware and driver requirements.
  • Design and build test fixtures for hardware validation and functional testing.
  • Support regulatory and quality processes with a focus on FDA and ISO 13485 compliance.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering
  • 5-10 years of hands-on electrical engineering experience in product development environments.
  • Strong understanding of compliance standards in regulated industries (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485).
  • Proven track record of delivering production-quality PCBs-from prototype through DFM and volume manufacturing.
  • Deep experience with Altium, Autodesk Eagle, or comparable CAD tools (5 years).
  • Strong embedded hardware skills including C and Assembly programming for low-level systems.
  • Experience with Verilog, FPGA, or ASIC design (preferred but not required).
  • Familiarity with LabVIEW for test automation and instrumentation (3-5 years' experience preferred but not required).
  • Java programming skills (preferred but not required).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • PhD or MS/ME in EECS or related fields/experiences
