Engineer: Senior Electrical Systems Architect

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 growing our engineering team and looking for a driven, detail-oriented Senior Electrical Design Engineer to take ownership of complex hardware programs from concept through volume production. This is a hands-on technical leadership position for someone who thrives at the intersection of rigorous circuit design, DFM, and embedded systems - and who wants to see their work shipped in real-world, regulated products.

Key Responsibilities:

* Drive the complete hardware development lifecycle - from architecture and specification through schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, validation, and handoff to manufacturing.

* Lead PCB design initiatives, ensuring layouts are performant, scalable, and optimized for high-volume production.

* Review and finalize routing and layout concepts, defining the electrical scope for each product.

* Translate early-stage design concepts into production-ready circuit solutions.

* Design and integrate systems built around MPUs, memory, and FPGAs, working closely with embedded software teams on low-level driver requirements.

* Partner with cross-functional teams to define, iterate on, and validate hardware and firmware requirements.

* Realize compact, constraint-driven single-board control systems.

* Produce and maintain rigorous documentation: design requirements, component selection rationale, engineering calculations, power budgets, and thermal analyses.

* Design and build test fixtures to support hardware validation and functional verification.

* Actively contribute to regulatory and quality processes, with particular emphasis on FDA and ISO 13485 requirements.

Required Qualifications:

* Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.

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

* 5+ years of proficiency with Altium Designer, Autodesk Eagle, or equivalent PCB CAD platforms.

* Demonstrated experience navigating compliance requirements in regulated industries (FDA, ISO 13485, or equivalent).

* A clear record of taking PCBs from first prototype through DFM review and into volume manufacturing.

* Strong embedded hardware skills, including C and Assembly for low-level system development.

Preferred skills:

* Verilog / FPGA / ASIC, LabVIEW (3-5 yrs)

* Java

* NI CLD or CLA certification

* Medical device launch experience

* PhD or MS/ME in EECS

Preferred Qualifications:

* PhD or MS/ME in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

* National Instruments certification (CLD or CLA) and hands-on LabVIEW development in automated test environments.

* End-to-end experience bringing a medical device or similarly regulated hardware product to market.

* Working knowledge of Verilog, FPGA, or ASIC design flows.
