Johnson & Johnson's Med Tech Surgery team at MONARCH is recruiting for a Staff Manufacturing Electrical Engineer within our Robotics & Digital Solutions (RAD) organization. This role is based in San Jose, California.

This role will provide hands-on electrical and electronics engineering support for complex robotic equipment, including system-level electrical architecture, PCB/PCBA electronics, manufacturing test systems, obsolescence management, and sustaining engineering activities.

Our Med Tech team is working to solve pressing healthcare challenges through innovations at the intersection of biology and technology. We harness our deep expertise in surgery, orthopedics, vision, and interventional solutions to design healthcare solutions that are smarter, less invasive, and more personalized. The Med Tech Surgery organization combines our surgical portfolio with Robotics & Digital technologies to advance the future of surgery.

Are you passionate about improving and expanding the possibilities of surgery? Ready to join a team that is reimagining how we heal? Our Surgery team will give you the opportunity to deliver technologies and solutions to surgeons and healthcare professionals around the world. Your contributions will help support treatment of prevalent conditions such as lung cancer and kidney stones. Patients are waiting.

• Own and lead root-cause investigations for system-level electrical issues originating from manufacturing, field complaints, service activities, MRB dispositions, nonconformances, and sustaining engineering needs.
• Solve electrical systems including power distribution, motor control, sensors, cabling, harnesses, interconnects, controllers, and system-level electronics.
• Coordinate with R&D on system-level electrical changes and ensure proposed solutions are compatible with mechanical, firmware, software, and other system subsystems.
• Drive electrical design changes through appropriate ECO and change-control processes.
• Lead PCB/PCBA-level failure analysis and work with R&D to define and validate schematic, layout, component, and board-level changes required to resolve technical issues.
• Review schematics, PCB layouts, component selections, test, and electronics architecture to find opportunities for reliability, manufacturability, performance, and cost improvements.
• Support PCB/PCBA rework, prototype builds, engineering evaluations, and qualification of board-level design changes.
• Partner with contract manufacturers and suppliers to implement PCB/PCBA rework, prototype builds, component substitutions, and board-level modifications.
• Ensure Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) considerations are addressed during sustaining design changes.
• Lead electrical and electronics obsolescence-management activities and proactively identify component lifecycle risks.
• Apply Altium, Silicon Expert, or equivalent engineering tools to support PCB design activities, component lifecycle analysis, and alternate component selection.
• Find opportunities to replace obsolete, high-risk, or costly electronic components while maintaining product quality, performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
• Support board-level upgrades and modifications intended to improve product performance, reliability, serviceability, supply continuity, or cost.
• Lead or support Risk Management File updates resulting from electrical or electronics design changes.
• Coordinate with R&D and Quality to ensure required risk…
