Job Summary

The Senior Design Engineer researches, designs, develops, and supports complex medical devices with a focus on electrical and system design. This role provides technical leadership and subject matter expertise across the full product lifecycle, from concept through commercialization; leads electrical and system level design efforts; translates user needs into compliant design specifications; mentors junior engineers; collaborates cross functionally; and drives design excellence to support successful product launches and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Lead the electrical and system level design of medical devices, including architecture definition, requirements decomposition, and interface control across hardware, firmware, and software domains.
• Design and develop electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and supporting documentation using ECAD tools.
• Contribute to and review software and firmware architectures, ensuring robust integration with electrical hardware and system requirements.
• Drive design transfer activities, ensuring smooth transition from R&D to manufacturing through validation builds, process development, and troubleshooting.
• Support intellectual property strategy by identifying novel design concepts and partnering with legal to secure patents.
• Define and manage system requirements, perform feasibility studies, and ensure traceability through design inputs, outputs, verification, and validation activities.
• Integrate human factors and user centered design philosophies into product development to enhance safety, effectiveness, and user satisfaction.
• Lead multi-disciplinary product development teams to research, design, and develop better products and technologies. Ensure product designs meet all design specifications.
• Manage multiple projects by coordinating resources, and priorities to meet development milestones and business objectives.
• Evaluate and improve existing products through root cause analysis, risk assessments, and feedback from users, manufacturers, and post-market surveillance.
• Contribute to innovation pipelines by collaborating with product divisions to identify new product opportunities, and align product design efforts with long-term strategic goals.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Work Experience: 4+ years of experience in electrical and/or system level product design, preferably within a regulated industry.
• Hands on experience with schematic capture, PCB design, and prototype bring up. Advanced proficiency in Altium Design or equivalent E-CAD software.
• Experience with prototype development, PCB manufacturing, design documentation, and design for manufacturability.
• Experience working with embedded systems, including hardware software integration and system debugging.
• Demonstrated experience working within a structured product development process, including exposure to design controls, risk management, and cross-functional collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in product design within the medical device industry, including development and launch of Class II devices.
• Strong understanding of design controls, risk management (e.g., FMEA), and regulatory documentation (e.g., DHF, DMR, traceability matrices).
• Familiarity with medical electrical safety, EMC, and compliance testing (IEC 60601, IEC 62304, ISO 14971).
• Experience with embedded firmware/software development or architecture, including requirements definition and verification.
• Experience leading or significantly contributing to cross disciplinary system architectures.
• Experience supporting products through manufacturing scale up and sustaining engineering.
• Strong technical documentation, communication, and project coordination skills.
