• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or 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.

Preferred:

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