As a Staff Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for a wide variety of engineering work in support of current production medical devices including design changes, process/quality improvements and compliance issues. You will support and conduct root cause analysis, verification and validation testing, manufacturing transfer activities, component obsolescence management for existing products.

What You Will Do:

Technical Responsibilities:

• Work closely with manufacturing and other cross functional partners to support day to day manufacturing including but not limited to line down issues, service parts, manufacturing transfers & supplier-initiated change requests (SICRs)
• Support Quality & Service teams for analysis of customer complaints related to product failures & provide solutions to resolve the same. May need to travel to customers, as needed, to better understand and solve ongoing field issues.
• Work on engineering change orders (ECOs) and own the design change from root cause analysis to implementation; this involves working with cross functional team members to understand the problem, propose solutions, prototype design, arrange parts/samples by working directly with suppliers, plan and conduct testing, arrange team collaboration meetings, present to Change approval board for design approval and implementation
• May need to own Non-Conformances (NC) and design Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPAs) plans & present the same to divisional and GQO quality board meetings on regular basis
• Through the design process, you may design circuits including but not limited to Schematic Capture, Layout and Failure Mode Analysis for PCBA’s, Cables and other electromechanical components.
• Analyze & test for electromagnetic compliance (EMI/EMC), reliability, safety, cost and design for manufacturing / assembly / test.
• Work with electrical tools like DMM, Oscilloscope & product specific test fixtures
• Translate user needs to design inputs/specifications and produce advanced component and sub-system level designs.

What You Will Need:

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline + 4 years of professional work experience
• Advanced understanding of electrical components like microcontrollers, power supplies, motor control designs and manufacturing methods including common failure modes.
• Ability to interpret, analyze, and test electrical designs and familiarity with EMI/EMC aspects of wireless technologies
• Working knowledge of the electrical design process and proficiency in the use of CAD and/or other circuit design and analysis tools to design.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of wired interface protocols, including I2C, UART, RS-232, RS-485, CAN, SPI, LVDS, Ethernet, and DRAM interfaces ·
• Knowledge of wireless interface protocols, such as Bluetooth, BLE, RFID, and Wi-Fi, including standards, requirements, and testing protocols
• Experience working with suppliers on process improvements, test methods development e.g. ICT, FCTs
• Ability to utilize simulation tools including Pspice and PCBA layout tools to implement robust and effective interface solutions and proficiency in the hardware, software and troubleshooting techniques used to develop and debug wireless communication interfaces.
