• Working with Marketing, Project Management and other R&D groups to guide requirements and generate product specifications.
• Obtain a system level view to drive trade‑off analysis during product development while considering features, schedules, cost, complexity, evaluating how radical or incremental the change is, risk and usability.
• Conduct feasibility work on product / system components and features in your area of technical expertise. Propose suitable components, algorithms and solutions, and model/implement the proposals using suitable techniques and tools.
• Work with Electrical (RF, Board & IC), Firmware, Software and Mechanical teams during the product development and system integration phase.
• Collaborate with R&T and other R&D groups to define architectures for future products and systems with a solid understanding of market needs.
• Develop a broad level of understanding of our products, their higher‑level architecture (hardware and software), and specialize in certain technical segments.
• Investigate field product issues or issues during product development; conduct necessary experiments to get to the root cause of the issues at the shortest possible time.
• Document the work undertaken clearly, aiming not only to preserve knowledge but also to educate newcomers and the rest of the organization.
• Share knowledge within the organization as needed to improve overall skills.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Biomedical Engineering is required;
  Master’s degree or PhD is preferred.
• Minimum 3–5 years of experience in analog and digital circuits, FPGA platforms, embedded systems, DSP, RF, control systems, or integrated circuits; 7+ years of experience and prior medical device industry experience considered a plus.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and leadership skills with the ability to mentor junior engineers and meet project deadlines in cross‑functional environments.
• Expertise in the design and development of complex electronic systems, including embedded development on ASICs, test automation using Python, datasheet interpretation, reliability and verification engineering, and Class III medical device standards (IEC 60801 and related requirements).
• Demonstrated analytical problem‑solving abilities, attention to detail, and the capability to develop practical solutions to complex technical challenges.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Altium 365, circuit simulation and modeling tools (e.g., SPICE), and coding/scripting tools such as C, C++, LabVIEW, and Python for automation, testing, and debugging.
• Experience with FPGA design tools (Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus), embedded software development environments (Arduino, MPLAB, Keil, Eclipse), and data analysis and visualization tools including MATLAB, Tableau, Python, and related engineering software; familiarity with MATLAB, Python Embedded Tools, pSPICE, VHDL/Verilog, System C, and C/C++ is highly desirable.
