Sr Electrical Engineer, Robotics

About the role

This position is based in our Campbell, California offices. This position is on-site, full-time.

Why Imperative Care?

Do you want to make a real impact on patients? At Imperative Care, we are developing novel robotic-assisted technologies and interventional capabilities that will forever change the disparate outcomes of ischemic stroke – a disease that impacts close to a million people a year in the U.S., and 10 million worldwide. Not only is Imperative Care changing the way stroke is treated, but also bringing this treatment to the greater population who is currently without. We are actively building a team who is focused on developing novel solutions for this complex disease – a disease in which one in four adults will face in their lifetime.

What You’ll Do

• Design electronic circuit board and robotic subassembly test fixtures that test motion control and sensor circuit performance and reliability. Including mixed-signal, analog, digital and data acquisition circuit design.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical and manufacturing engineers to realize complex electromechanical test fixtures.
• Coordinate EMI/EMC testing of product hardware and identify design improvements to ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as IEC, EMC, CISPR, and related standards.
• Identify and design product design improvements to enhance electronics reliability, testability, manufacturability and performance against regulatory standards.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to define and implement a product manufacturing and test plan that ensures hardware electronics quality and reliability.
• Facilitate board bring-up, test, and debug of newly designed printed circuit boards.
• Write electronic hardware design verification protocols and develop test vehicles for executing the protocols.
• Work closely with electronic hardware suppliers to ensure manufacturing and test procedures are set up, qualified, and executed to meet company and regulatory standards.
• Communicate effectively status plans to multi-functional engineering/program management teams.

What You’ll Bring – minimum requirements for this role:
