About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline is required.
  • At least 2 years of experience in electronic engineering development is required.
  • Strong electronic circuit fundamentals are required, including the ability to analyze analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, sensor-interface, and actuator-control circuits.
  • Experience developing custom printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) is required, including schematic capture, circuit analysis, design reviews, bring-up, troubleshooting, and verification.
  • Hands-on experience with electrical hardware integration, testing, and debugging is required.
  • Understanding of low-voltage electrical systems, control circuits, wiring, grounding, and electrical interfaces is required.
  • Experience with microcontroller-based prototyping platforms or embedded electronic systems is required.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills are required.
  • Ability to travel up to 10% is required.

Responsibilities

  • Support design and development of electrical hardware, custom printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), and subsystems throughout the product lifecycle, including requirements definition, implementation, bring-up, troubleshooting, and verification.
  • Perform PCBA bring-up, debugging, hardware integration, and verification activities to ensure electrical systems meet performance, reliability, and quality requirements.
  • Develop test methods, fixtures, and documentation to support hardware verification and investigation of electrical and system-level failures.
  • Design, implement, and document electrical interfaces connecting sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, communication networks, and software components.
  • Integrate and troubleshoot low-voltage electrical systems, including control circuits, industrial controllers, fieldbus networks, wiring, grounding, and cabling.
  • Support prototype development, laboratory testing, and evaluation of electrical and electromechanical systems.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, software, robotics, and systems engineering teams to identify and resolve hardware integration challenges.
  • Maintain engineering documentation and support compliance with applicable Quality Management System (QMS) requirements.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline is preferred.
  • Experience with Altium Designer or comparable electrical computer-aided design (CAD) software is preferred.
  • Experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or similar prototyping platforms is preferred.
  • Experience transitioning electronic prototypes into reliable industrial control solutions is preferred.
  • Exposure to industrial automation, programmable logic controller (PLC) programming, functional safety, or electrical safety is preferred.
  • Experience with robotics, laboratory automation, regulated product development, medical devices, or other safety-critical electromechanical systems is preferred.
  • Experience working with multidisciplinary teams involving software, mechanical, robotics, systems, and clinical engineering is preferred.

About the Company

Varian

Tech-enabled radiation oncology hardware and software

Varian, part of Siemens Healthineers, focuses on oncology by providing integrated radiation oncology solutions that combine software, hardware, patient data, and care teams. Its offerings include treatment-planning software, radiation therapy machines, and data-management systems that work together to enable precise cancer treatments. The company differentiates itself through an integrated platform approach and services like Oncology-as-a-Service (OaaS), which lets healthcare providers adopt advanced radiation oncology with ongoing service support rather than large upfront investments. Varian serves healthcare providers such as hospitals and cancer centers, helping them deliver coordinated care and improve patient outcomes. Its goal is to reduce the fear of cancer by using data and technology to support clinicians in delivering effective treatments.
