- Iterate quickly on proof-of-concept prototypes, implement long-term commercial design solutions, and engage with vendors.
- Facilitate opportunities for multi-functional discussions to develop robust and reliable architectures with electrical functionality driven by simulation, analysis, and testing.
- Perform hardware testing for IEC medical safety and EMC standards such as IEC60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, CISPR22, and ISO compliance in a regulated environment (UL, TUV, FDA)
- Own full lifecycle design of PCAs, providing documentation to support architectural decisions such as technical reviews, test results, and theory of operations.
- Participate in design reviews, fault safety analysis, and design FMEA analysis across the broader team.
- Act as a technical lead and provide mentorship and guidance to electrical engineers with varying levels of experience.
Required Experience and Skills:
- Bachelor's degree with 17+ years or Master’s with 14+ years in electrical engineering or a related field. Other combinations of experience with an advanced degree. (e.g., PhD+11yr, MS+14yr, or BS+17yr).
- Demonstrated proficiency in Altium Designer or related CAD tools for schematics and PCB layout, including design best practices for power integrity, signal integrity, EMC, EMI, fast transients, and ESD.
- Strong design experience with embedded systems, serial communication protocols, and analog and digital electrical systems from feasibility through to production.
- Extensive experience designing and bringing electrical architectures in hardware solutions to market.
- Proven track record providing technical direction, mentorship, and expertise on technical/design and management of projects, including external contractors, partners, and suppliers.
Preferred:
- Experience in Robotic and/or Medical Device industry.
- Generous vacation and hybrid work policies
- Commute assistance (Daily shuttle from SF, public transit stipend)
- Snacks, Lunch stipend for on-site cafeteria
- 401(k) match and pension program
