• Define and execute electrical verification and validation plans, including bench testing, system integration, and agency testing.
• Ensure electrical designs comply with IEC 60601 standards and applicable FDA and CE requirements.
• Lead root cause analysis and resolution of electrical issues discovered during development, verification, or clinical use.
• Support reliability testing, tolerance analyses, and design-for-manufacturability activities.
• Collaborate with R&D, Design Assurance, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, and Marketing teams to ensure successful product launch.
• Create and execute change orders to document and implement design changes.
• Provide electrical engineering leadership during design reviews, risk analyses, and change control activities.
• Support manufacturing transfer, supplier technical engagement, and post-market engineering support.
• Address supply chain and quality issues in collaboration with Operations and Quality teams.
• Generate and maintain design documentation, including input requirements, design output, risk analysis, test methods, verification and validation plans/reports, and manufacturing processes.
• Contribute to design history files, risk management files, and regulatory technical documentation.
• Perform other related duties in compliance with Imricor’s Quality Management System.

• Working knowledge of FDA design controls and IEC 60601 standards, including oversight of testing by certified labs.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience with Good Documentation Practices (GDP).

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience designing MR-conditional capital equipment.
• Familiarity with MR physics, RF systems, and electromagnetic compatibility in MR environments.
• Experience supporting regulatory submissions (FDA 510k, PMA, and CE marking).
