About the Role

Engineer specializing in PCBA design, embedded systems, and FPGA integration to support manufacturability, supplier readiness, and hardware lifecycle management. This role acts as a technical bridge between engineering design teams and supply chain operations to ensure that boards, embedded components, and electronics assemblies are production-ready, cost-effective, and robust for medical device manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical oversight of PCBA and PCB designs as they move from R&D into manufacturing and supplier environments.
• Support DFM/DFT reviews, ensuring designs are optimized for scalable, reliable production.
• Evaluate and guide suppliers on FPGA, embedded, and PCBA manufacturing capabilities.
• Collaborate with sourcing, manufacturing engineering, and quality to qualify new suppliers and processes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electronics manufacturing issues, including component failures, test yield problems, or firmware/hardware interaction issues.
• Provide embedded-level support and verification; Python proficiency is required for scripting, automation, and testing across hardware systems.
• Ensure all electronics-related supply chain activities meet medical-device compliance and documentation standards.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience in PCBA and PCB design.
• Knowledge of FPGA development or integration (preferred: hands-on design background).
• Solid understanding of embedded systems, including low-level hardware/software interaction.
• Python proficiency for embedded test automation and system validation (required).
• Degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred) or Mechatronics.
• Familiarity with electronics manufacturing, component sourcing, and supplier technical engagement.
• Experience within medical devices or other regulated, high-quality hardware industries (strong plus).

Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering Degree
• 5+ years of experience
• Experience in regulated environments such as medical device, automotive, or semiconductor industries preferred

Skills

• Mixed-signal design (analog and digital)
• Altium design experience
• Schematic capture and PCB layout
• Python programming
• Embedded programming
