Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer - Interventional X-Ray Systems

Omega Medical Imaging - Sanford, FL

Position Summary
Omega Medical Imaging is seeking a highly capable Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer to support the design, integration, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of advanced interventional X-ray imaging systems. This role requires a naturally curious, hands-on problem solver who can move fluidly between board-level design, system-level debugging, production support, field service escalation, EMC troubleshooting, documentation, and supplier technical management.
This is not a narrow design-only position. The successful candidate will become one of Omega's technical experts on interventional X-ray systems, helping support new product development, manufacturing, service, regulatory readiness, and legacy system sustainment.

Key Responsibilities
Electrical and Systems Engineering

• Design, review, debug, and sustain electrical hardware for robotic interventional X-ray imaging systems.
• Develop and troubleshoot analog, digital, mixed-signal, and embedded hardware designs.
• Support PCB/CCA design, schematic capture, board layout review, bring-up, verification, and production release.
• Design and troubleshoot FPGA/programmable logic functions using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Support interfaces involving detectors, generators, video management systems, motion/control subsystems, operator controls, I/O, and safety-related circuits.
• Develop robust subsystem-level test strategies for circuit card assemblies and system-level integration.
• Help transition designs from engineering prototype to production-ready configuration.

Master Debugging and Problem Solving

• Serve as a high-level technical troubleshooter for complex product, production, and field issues.
• Diagnose system-level failures involving hardware, firmware, cabling, grounding, noise, timing, communication, power, video, and subsystem interactions.
• Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, current probes, DMMs, protocol analyzers, and other lab tools to isolate root cause.
• Lead structured root-cause analysis and corrective action for difficult or intermittent technical problems.
• Remain composed when systems are down, information is incomplete, or the problem is not obvious.

EMC / EMI / Regulatory Robustness

• Diagnose and resolve EMC, EMI, grounding, shielding, filtering, and cabling issues.
• Apply good design practices for medical electrical equipment, including noise immunity, leakage current awareness, isolation, grounding, and regulatory robustness.
• Support EMC testing, pre-compliance troubleshooting, and design changes needed to pass regulatory testing.
• Contribute to risk reduction and design documentation needed for medical device compliance.

Production and Field Service Support

• Provide advanced technical support to manufacturing, test, and field service teams.
• Act as a Tier 4 technical escalation resource for Field Service Engineers and internal technicians.
• Troubleshoot urgent field and production issues involving interventional X-ray systems.
• Communicate clearly with service personnel, technicians, engineers, suppliers, and leadership.
• Teach and mentor others so that manufacturing and service teams become more self-sufficient.
• Develop practical troubleshooting guides, work instructions, checklists, test procedures, and service documentation.

X-Ray System Expertise

• Develop deep expertise in Omega's interventional X-ray platforms, including system architecture, generator interfaces, detector integration, video systems, imaging workflow, subsystem communication, and clinical use cases.
• Understand how electrical design decisions affect image quality, system reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance.
• Become a trusted technical resource for difficult cross-functional questions involving engineering, service, production, quality, regulatory, and suppliers.

Documentation, Test, and Supplier Support

• Create clear, detailed, user-friendly engineering documentation, work instructions, checklists, and test procedures.
• Design or support test fixtures for subsystem and circuit card verification.
• Assist with verification, validation, design transfer, and production readiness activities.
• Provide technical oversight for suppliers, including review and validation of hardware/software updates.
• Support technical interface activities with key subsystem suppliers.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical discipline.
• Significant hands-on experience in electrical design, system integration, and troubleshooting.
• Strong analog and digital circuit design experience.
• PCB schematic and layout experience.
• Experience with board bring-up, circuit card troubleshooting, and design verification.
• Experience with FPGA or programmable logic design using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Strong lab/debug skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power supplies, current probes, and related tools.
• Ability to diagnose complex system-level…
