As the Manager of Electrical Engineering, you will lead, manage, and directly contribute to the electrical engineering organization, including the system electrical development team and the advanced design development team. The role provides technical direction and organizational leadership across the full product lifecycle of Class II/III medical devices. The successful individual balances leadership responsibilities with hands‑on technical contributions in R&D lab and regulated documentation environments.

• Lead and contribute to the design, debug, and characterization of high‑voltage, mixed‑signal circuits within complex Class II/III medical devices.
• Provide both technical direction and hands‑on guidance in system architecture, high‑voltage isolation strategies, analog/digital circuit design, power delivery, and safety‑critical subsystems.
• Lead and coordinate lab activities, including board bring‑up, troubleshooting, and advanced system debugging using oscilloscopes, HV probes, and other specialized test equipment.
• Oversee and contribute to the preparation, execution, and review of design verification and validation protocols, characterization reports, and risk management activities and documentation (FMEAs, hazard analyses, trace matrices).
• Manage sustaining engineering activities, including leading root cause investigations, troubleshooting production assemblies and field returns, and implementing design updates to improve reliability and maintain compliance.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Systems, Mechanical, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, and Regulatory teams to ensure effective design transfer, manufacturing scale‑up, and long‑term support of released products.
• Ensure robust design control and documentation practices, including authorship and critical review of product requirements, specifications, verification reports, and design history file elements.
• Maintain full ownership of design documentation, including user‑driven product requirements, detailed product specifications, characterization and verification reports, and traceability matrices.
• Serve as a technical point of escalation for field issues, providing both leadership and hands‑on support during investigations and corrective action activities.
• Lead and contribute to technical design reviews, internal audits, and regulatory inspections as a subject matter expert in high‑voltage electrical design.
• Actively foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement, setting the standard by working alongside the team in both technical and organizational capacities.
• Recommend and implement process improvements to increase team productivity, product quality, and development efficiency.
• Ensure compliance with FDA regulations, ISO 13485, IEC 60601, EMC/EMI design and compliance testing, and company policies, while maintaining positive and cooperative communication across all levels of the organization.
• Recruit, hire and maintain a high‑performing team to drive and achieve Company goals.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required;
  Master’s degree preferred.
• 8+ years’ experience in electrical engineering with direct experience in high‑voltage medical device design.
