This is a hands-on, technical leadership role for someone passionate about innovation, quality, and building real-world products that make an impact.
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.

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
-
LabVIEW development experience in automated testing environments.
-
National Instruments Certification (CLD or CLA).
-
End-to-end experience developing and launching medical devices or similarly regulated products.
