Our client is a medical device company developing Class III products, including sensitive analog front-end circuitry, sensors, power, and high-voltage systems.
They are seeking an Electrical Engineer to deliver board-level designs — analysis, schematics, and PCB layout — for these products, leading electrical design workstreams within multi-disciplinary projects and driving technical decisions that balance performance, cost, manufacturability, and regulatory requirements.
This is a full-time hybrid role requiring at least 2 days/week onsite, based in the client's SF Peninsula, CA area office.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver board-level designs including analysis, schematics, and PCB layout for Class III products with sensitive analog front-end circuits, sensors, power, and high voltage.
- Lead electrical design workstreams within multi-disciplinary projects, ensuring scope, schedule, and deliverables are met.
- Drive technical decision-making, balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, and regulatory requirements.
- Develop and characterize designs through bench testing, system integration, and the creation of supporting test fixtures.
- Qualify critical alternate components as necessary to meet design needs.
- Perform failure analysis and document investigations to support manufacturing scale.
- Support sustaining engineering efforts: develop designs with components selected for cost reduction or obsolescence, and support qualifying alternate suppliers.
- Dry-run engineering tests and conduct or guide design verification test protocols.
- Support EMC/EMI testing and compliance activities, including preparation, execution, and troubleshooting to ensure designs meet applicable IEC standards such as IEC 60601.
- Document design descriptions and engineering analysis to support Manufacturing and Quality.
- Support Commercial Stage activities, including manufacturing support, New Product Introduction programs, and field failure analysis.
- Provide technical support for cross-functional teams, including Systems, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing Engineering.
- Facilitate effective collaboration across disciplines, aligning design activities with project milestones and product requirements.
- Provide peer review of designs and documentation; mentor junior engineers as the team grows.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
