Staff Electrical Engineer, Embedded Systems

About the role

As a senior technical contributor in our Sports Medicine business, you will support the full product life cycle—including sustainment, design, development, and verification—of complex electrical and software systems for our line of Arthroscopy pumps and soft-tissue/bone resection medical devices. You will apply technical expertise to solve design challenges by translating clinical and user needs into robust solutions and collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Clinical partners to ensure designs meet performance, quality, and regulatory standards.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and verify electrical and software components and sub-systems for regulated medical devices.
• Bring-up and debug electrical/firmware integration at the signal level, diagnosing failures across the hardware/software boundary.
• Support product End of Life (EOL) component evaluations, execute design changes, and complete engineering change orders to sustain market success.
• Apply circuit, system, and software test methods—including prototyping, verification, validation, and design reviews—to ensure robust, compliant designs.
• Translate user, clinical, and Voice of Customer inputs into clear design requirements, specifications, and architectures at the component and sub-system level.
• Analyze and resolve design issues using independent judgment, balancing technical, regulatory, cost, and schedule tradeoffs.
• Develop, modify, and review software per defined architecture and requirements, applying design principles, coding standards, and best practices in code reviews.
• Contribute to high-quality engineering documentation, including requirements, design artifacts, test strategies, defect tracking, and Design History Files.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams (R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing, and Project Management) to influence outcomes and drive projects forward.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 4+ years of experience designing and developing embedded systems, with hands-on ownership across both hardware and firmware domains, including PCB bring-up, signal-level debugging, component failure analysis, alternative component selection and qualification, and/or embedded firmware development.
• Understanding of electrical components and common failure modes, with the ability to interpret, analyze, and test electrical and system-level designs.
• Experience analyzing system architectures, schematics, and design documentation to understand design intent and implement changes within defined technical and regulatory constraints.

Qualifications

• Experience in Medical Device development or other regulated industries (preferred).
• Working knowledge of the end-to-end electrical design process, including use of CAD and circuit design/analysis tools (preferred).
• Experience developing software in C/C++ and applying software engineering best practices, including code analysis, memory management, defect resolution, integration, deployment, and SDLC methodologies (preferred).
