    • Collaborate with firmware and software teams to ensure cohesive system integration
  • Systems Engineering
    • Define and maintain system-level architectures across electromechanical, electrical, and software subsystems
    • Translate user needs into integrated system requirements and manage requirements traceability across the product development lifecycle
    • Perform system-level failure mode analysis and hazard assessments per ISO 14971
    • Contribute across multiple concurrent projects in varying capacities, leading technical workstreams on some and supporting others, based on program priority and skillset fit
  • Verification, Validation & Regulatory
    • Create and execute V&V protocols for electrical and system-level design requirements; author test reports and design history records
    • Support usability engineering and human factors testing per IEC 62366

    • Maintain compliance with ISO 13485 and applicable international standards
  • Design Transfer & Operations
    • Support design transfer to manufacturing, including electrical process development, validation protocols, and cross-functional handoffs
    • Coordinate with external partners including contract manufacturers, component suppliers, and test labs to execute project deliverables
    • Review and approve Engineering Change Orders as needed
  • Team & Culture
    • Communicate effectively across cross-functional teams including QA, RA, Operations, and external stakeholders
    • Identify opportunities to improve R&D tools, workflows, and external resource utilization

Qualifications

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or closely related field
  • 5+ years of hardware design and development experience spanning electrical and systems engineering domains
  • Hands-on experience with circuit design, PCB development, prototyping, testing, and V&V
  • Familiarity with firmware/embedded systems integration a plus
  • Proficiency in electrical CAD/EDA tools and standard office software
  • Strong technical writing and documentation skills
  • Experience in a regulated industry; familiarity with FDA QSR, ISO 13485, IEC 60601, and IEC 62366 preferred
