Job description
About the Role
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer II to join our Research & Development team, designing and developing electrical and electronic systems for next-generation implantable Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). This role is ideal for an engineer with a strong technical foundation who is ready to take on increasing ownership of circuit design, design testing, design verification through design controls within a regulated medical device environment. You will collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, systems, and quality engineers throughout the product development lifecycle — from concept through verification and design transfer.
Key Responsibilities
Design, simulate, and prototype analog and digital circuits (e.g., signal conditioning, power management, sensor interfaces or battery/charging systems) for implantable and non-implantable medical devices.
Develop schematics, PCB layouts, and bill of materials (BOM) in collaboration with mechanical engineers and vendors.
Select components based on performance, reliability, cost, availability, and regulatory requirements (e.g., biocompatibility, EMC/EMI, electrical safety)
Build and test prototypes; perform bench-level debugging, characterization, and root-cause analysis
Support design verification and validation (V&V) activities, including writing test protocols, executing tests, and documenting results
Contribute to risk management activities (e.g., FMEA) related to electrical subsystems
Ensure designs comply with applicable standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971) and support regulatory submissions with technical documentation
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, mechanical, systems, quality, regulatory) to integrate electrical subsystems into complete device designs
Participate in design reviews and maintain thorough documentation per design control procedures (DHF, design inputs/outputs, traceability)
Support manufacturing and test engineering teams during design transfer and production ramp-up
Investigate and resolve field or manufacturing issues related to electrical performance
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
2–5 years of relevant experience in electrical/electronic design, preferably in medical devices or another regulated industry (automotive, aerospace, industrial controls)
Strong deep understanding of analog and digital circuit design fundamentals
Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, Eagle or similar)
Familiarity and hands on experience with lab equipment for testing and debugging (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, function generators, logic analyzers)
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to document work clearly for design history files
Ability to plan, execute and complete deliverables effectively and efficiently for the scope of work owned.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with battery-powered or wireless medical devices
Familiarity with embedded systems and firmware/hardware interaction
Experience with wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, NFC)
Working knowledge of design control processes and experience operating within a regulated environment (FDA QSR / ISO 13485)
Understanding of relevant standards such as IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment safety) and EMC requirements
Knowledge of DFM/DFT principles and experience supporting manufacturing transfer
Exposure to sensor technologies (biopotential, optical, pressure, temperature)
Experience with statistical tools for test data analysis (Minitab, JMP)
Prior experience supporting FDA submissions (510(k), PMA) or CE marking (MDR)
