The Senior Electrical Engineering Technician plays a key hands-on role in the research, development, and testing of next-generation implantable medical devices. This position emphasizes electrical subsystem builds, circuit-level troubleshooting, automated test equipment (ATE) support, and execution of complex verification activities. The technician works independently with strong technical judgment, collaborates with electrical and systems engineers, and mentors junior technicians while operating within a regulated medical device environment.

• Assemble, modify, and troubleshoot electrical and electro-mechanical prototypes, including PCBAs, micro-electronics, sensors, and wiring harnesses.
• Perform fine-pitch soldering, rework, micro-assembly, and electrical component installation.
• Interpret and work from schematics, wiring diagrams, PCB layouts, and electrical test specifications.

• Set up, operate, and maintain automated test systems used for characterization, verification, and reliability testing of implantable devices.
• Support test fixture design, wiring, build, and debug, collaborating with electrical, firmware, and test automation engineers.
• Execute electrical tests including signal integrity checks, impedance measurements, power/energy profiling, leakage current testing, and sensor signal validation.
• Use instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, SMUs, power analyzers, DAQ systems, and DMMs.

• Diagnose issues at the circuit, component, and system level.
• Perform electrical failure analysis on devices and test systems; recommend corrective actions.
• Document findings with clear electrical data capture, plots, and summaries.

• Execute electrical portions of V&V test protocols, including long-duration, accelerated life, and environmental testing.
• Ensure compliant, accurate, traceable documentation in accordance with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, and GDP.
• Maintain calibration, preventive maintenance, and configuration control for electrical and ATE equipment.

• Work closely with electrical, systems, firmware, reliability, and test automation engineers to refine designs and test strategies.
• Maintain controlled environments such as ESD-protected labs, clean rooms, and sensitive electrical work spaces.
• Train junior technicians in electrical lab practices, safe handling of sensitive electronics, and test system operation.

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering technology, Electronics Technology, or related technical field.
• 5+ years' electrical technician experience, preferably in medical device R&D or similar regulated, high-reliability industries.
• Proven ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot from electrical schematics and PCB documentation.
• Strong experience with oscilloscopes, DAQ systems, automated test platforms, and general laboratory instruments.
• Solid troubleshooting skills across circuits, electrical assemblies, fixtures, and automation hardware/software.
• Proficiency in technical documentation tools and electronic lab notebooks.

• Experience with implantable technologies such as neurostimulation, cardiac rhythm management, drug delivery, or sensors.
• Hands-on experience with automated test platforms (e.g., LabVIEW, Python-based…
