Nanobiosym is an innovative, high-tech company that is developing novel technologies at the nexus of physics, nanotechnology, and biomedicine. Founded by MIT/Harvard alum and located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Nanobiosym was awarded the first X-Prize to be given for healthcare.

Position Overview:

We are expanding our development team and seeking an exceptional Senior Electrical Design Engineer with a strong background in hardware design, design for manufacturing (DFM), and full product realization. You will be a key player in designing advanced PCB systems, driving embedded hardware development, and delivering high-quality products to market.

This is a hands-on, technical leadership role for someone passionate about innovation, quality, and building real-world products that make an impact.

Key Responsibilities:

Own full hardware development lifecycle:
Specification, architecture, circuit design, simulation, schematic capture, prototyping, validation, and release to manufacturing.

Lead PCB design and enhancement projects, ensuring scalability, manufacturability, and performance.

Translate early-stage concept layouts into robust, production-ready circuit designs.

Review layout and routing concepts to finalize the electrical scope of products.

Design systems including MPUs, memory, and FPGAs (preferred but not required), ensuring low-level integration with embedded software.

Implement control systems in compact, single-board designs with tight constraints.

Create and maintain thorough documentation including design requirements, component selection rationale, calculations, and power/thermal budgets.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, evaluate, and refine hardware and driver requirements.

Design and build test fixtures for hardware validation and functional testing.

Support regulatory and quality processes with a focus on FDA and ISO 13485 compliance.

Minimum Qualifications:

Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering

5-10+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience in product development environments.

Strong understanding of compliance standards in regulated industries (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485).

Proven track record of delivering production-quality PCBs-from prototype through DFM and volume manufacturing.

Deep experience with Altium, Autodesk Eagle, or comparable CAD tools (5+ years).

Strong embedded hardware skills including C and Assembly programming for low-level systems.

Experience with Verilog, FPGA, or ASIC design (preferred but not required).

Familiarity with LabVIEW for test automation and instrumentation (3-5 years' experience preferred but not required).

Java programming skills (preferred but not required).

Preferred Qualifications:

PhD or MS/ME in EECS or related fields/experiences

LabVIEW development experience in automated testing environments.

National Instruments Certification (CLD or CLA).

End-to-end experience developing and launching medical devices or similarly regulated products.
