How will you make an impact?

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer to design and develop complex electro-opto-mechanical systems for our next-generation corneal cross-linking system. This role requires strong technical expertise in circuit design, simulation, PCB development, and system integration, with a focus on compliance with medical device regulations.

Specific Responsibilities

  • Electrical Design & Development
    • Execute detailed circuit design for analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics.
    • Perform schematic capture, complex multi-layer PCB layout, and board bring-up testing.
    • Perform advanced circuit simulations, including DC, AC, transient, Monte Carlo, noise, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC/EMI modeling.
    • Conduct worst-case, tolerance, and reliability analyses to anticipate failure modes and ensure long-term product robustness.
    • Drive thermal and power distribution modeling to inform PCB layout strategies.
    • Select, evaluate, and integrate off-the-shelf electrical components such as displays, power supplies, SBCs, motors, and sensors.
    • Develop and maintain detailed electrical wiring diagrams aligned with system-level architecture and direction from the engineering manager.
  • PCB CAD, Tools & Configuration Management
    • Manage CAD tools and ensure robust configuration management of the PCB design environment.
    • Maintain and update Altium tool settings, templates, design rules, and standardized workflows.
    • Manage and control the electronic component library, including symbols, footprints, 3D models, and component parameters.
    • Ensure traceability, revision control, and compliance with QMS and design control documentation requirements.
  • Prototyping, Debug & Integration
    • Support prototype builds, board bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis of hardware issues.
    • Design and document PCBA and assembly test fixtures to support development and verification testing.
    • Collaborate closely with software and firmware teams to ensure successful hardware–firmware integration.
    • Support system-level integration and troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, and software domains.
    • Define system level test protocols for system integration evaluation.
  • Verification, Validation & Documentation
    • Define, document, and execute electrical design verification and validation protocols for assigned boards and subsystems.
    • Generate and maintain design documentation, test reports, and technical justifications in accordance with FDA design controls and QMS requirements.
  • Sustaining & Lifecycle Engineering
    • Support sustaining engineering activities including ECO implementation, component obsolescence management, and CAPA investigations.
    • Provide technical support for manufacturing, supplier issues, and field feedback.
  • Compliance & Regulatory Support
    • Support compliance engineering activities for product safety and EMC testing, including IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and other applicable standards.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in electrical engineering, including complex PCB and system-level design.
  • Strong knowledge of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuit design, validated by advanced circuit simulation, modeling, and analysis.
  • Hands-on experience with EDA and simulation tools, including PSpice, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, Altium Designer (preferred), Allegro PCB, and ORCAD.
  • Proven experience in signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI, and thermal simulations for complex electronic systems.
  • Strong background in motor control circuits, sensors, and communication interfaces, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Wi-Fi, and BLE.
  • Demonstrated experience defining and executing design verification and validation protocols under FDA design control requirements.
  • Working experience within a QMS/ISO13485.
  • Familiarity with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and other applicable electrical safety and EMC standards.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
