Hardware Electronics Engineer

What you'll do

• Take technical ownership of the electronics architecture for our medical device, driving development from early concept through prototype, verification and product release.
• Design mixed-signal electronic systems, integrating optical modules, battery management, power electronics, motor drivers, user interface electronics and supporting sensors.
• Design schematic capture and multi-layer PCBs, selecting appropriate components and integrating commercial modules into robust product designs.
• Develop and validate battery charging, power management and low-power system architectures for portable medical devices.
• Design interfaces for miniature cameras, LEDs, pumps, motors and user interface hardware including buttons, indicators and status LEDs.
• Bring up, debug and validate prototype hardware using laboratory test equipment, identifying root causes and implementing robust design improvements.
• Work closely with firmware, mechanical, optical and systems engineers to ensure seamless hardware integration across the product.
• Plan and scope electronics development activities, identifying technical risks, defining development priorities and estimating work required to achieve project milestones.
• Own the electronics design documentation, including schematics, design calculations, test plans, verification reports and manufacturing documentation.
• Lead electronics risk management activities, maintaining Design FMEAs and supporting system-level risk analysis throughout product development.
• Work with PCB manufacturers, assembly houses and component suppliers to support prototype builds, design for manufacture (DFM) and design for test (DFT).
• Identify and establish the laboratory equipment, software tools, suppliers and development processes required to build a world-class electronics function.
• Contribute as a hands-on individual contributor while helping shape the future electronics capability as the team grows.
