Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design, review, debug, and sustain electrical hardware for robotic interventional X-ray imaging systems.
• Develop and troubleshoot analog, digital, mixed-signal, and embedded hardware designs.
• Support PCB/CCA design, schematic capture, board layout review, bring-up, verification, and production release.
• Design and troubleshoot FPGA/programmable logic functions using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Support interfaces involving detectors, generators, video management systems, motion/control subsystems, operator controls, I/O, and safety-related circuits.
• Develop robust subsystem-level test strategies for circuit card assemblies and system-level integration.
• Help transition designs from engineering prototype to production-ready configuration.

EMC / EMI / Regulatory Robustness

• Diagnose and resolve EMC, EMI, grounding, shielding, filtering, and cabling issues.
• Apply good design practices for medical electrical equipment, including noise immunity, leakage current awareness, isolation, grounding, and regulatory robustness.
• Support EMC testing, pre-compliance troubleshooting, and design changes needed to pass regulatory testing.
• Contribute to risk reduction and design documentation needed for medical device compliance.
• Provide advanced technical support to manufacturing, test, and field service teams.
• Act as a Tier 4 technical escalation resource for Field Service Engineers and internal technicians.
• Troubleshoot urgent field and production issues involving interventional X-ray systems.
• Communicate clearly with service personnel, technicians, engineers, suppliers, and leadership.
• Teach and mentor others so that manufacturing and service teams become more self-sufficient.
• Create clear, detailed, user-friendly engineering documentation, work instructions, checklists, and test procedures.
• Design or support test fixtures for subsystem and circuit card verification.
• Assist with verification, validation, design transfer, and production readiness activities.
• Provide technical oversight for suppliers, including review and validation of hardware/software updates.
• Support technical interface activities with key subsystem suppliers.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical discipline.
• Significant hands-on experience in electrical design, system integration, and troubleshooting.
• Strong analog and digital circuit design experience.
• PCB schematic and layout experience.
• Experience with board bring-up, circuit card troubleshooting, and design verification.
• Experience with FPGA or programmable logic design using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Strong lab/debug skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power supplies, current probes, and related tools.
• Able to diagnose complex system-level failures, not just isolated circuit issues.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Able to explain complex technical issues clearly to engineers, technicians, service personnel, and leadership.
• Strong documentation discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with medical electrical equipment or regulated product development.
• Experience with IEC 60601, EMC testing, safety testing, or medical device design controls.
• Experience with interventional X-ray, fluoroscopy, imaging systems, detectors, generators, video systems, or motion/control systems.
• Experience supporting production, field service, or customer-facing technical escalation.
• Experience developing test fixtures, subsystem test procedures, and production test strategies.
• Experience with EMI/EMC troubleshooting, grounding, shielding, filtering, and cable design.
• Experience working with suppliers on technical issue resolution and validation of design updates.
