A Brief Overview The Senior Electrical Engineer is responsible for electrical hardware design with emphasis on ultrasonic applications and analysis of current and new systems within the R&D Advanced Development group. The role independently leads defined electrical engineering work streams and coordinates the technical contributions of internal hardware engineering teams and external engineering design partners, meeting schedule timelines, project milestones, technical requirements, quality objectives, and cost targets.

Knowledge of Electrical hardware design, development, and deployment of ultrasonic based medical systems is required.

This position will apply electrical engineering principles for medical device designs, and be responsible for electrical engineering of new and current systems in the R&D Advanced Development team. This role requires the ability to set priorities based on project and business needs and work effectively in a team environment to ensure product compliance for quality & regulatory standards, adherence to system level requirements, reliable designs, cost containment, and project timelines.

The role facilitates technical discussions, builds alignment among internal and external stakeholders, and provides technical guidance and mentoring to less-experienced engineers.

What You Will Do Electrical Engineering:

Electrical engineering design, development and support of advanced development prototypes, sub-assemblies, and board level circuits with a strong emphasis on analog & RF based circuits including amplifiers, linear & switching power supplies, mixed-mode analog/digital converters, and microprocessor-based systems.

Lead the electrical design and integration of assigned products, subsystems or major technical work streams from concept and feasibility through design verification and transfer readiness. Establish the technical approach, coordinate engineering activities, identify dependencies and ensure that electrical designs satisfy system-level requirements.

Provide engineering analysis, feasibility reports, and studies to assist advanced development projects.

Provide necessary engineering tools, equipment, parts, etc. across various cross-functional efforts. Provide broad electrical. engineering technical expertise through various phases of product life cycle.

Serve as a technical advisor to cross-functional project teams and guide the resolution of complex electrical, system-integration and product-performance issues.

Provide electrical engineering support ensuring current and new products meet Medical Device safety requirements such as IEC 60601 and other Medical Device standards.

Translate system, user, safety, regulatory and business requirements into electrical design requirements, architecture decisions, interface definitions and verification strategies. Assess how proposed design decisions affect product performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, cost and lifecycle objectives.

Review electrical designs, analyses and technical documentation produced by internal engineers and external design partners. Provide technical direction, identify gaps and ensure that conclusions and recommendations are supported by appropriate engineering evidence.

Innovation:

Develop, design, build, and test innovative concepts and solutions which align with the needs of the clinic, patient, and business.

Apply internal and external engineering best practices, emerging technologies, competitive or market information, clinical needs and lessons from existing products to identify improvements to products, engineering methods and development processes.

Guide cross-functional teams in converting ambiguous clinical, product or business needs into testable engineering concepts and actionable development plans.

Present technical options, trade-offs and recommendations to project stakeholders, anticipate questions or objections and build agreement on the preferred technical approach.
