Lead Electrical Engineer I

Overview

The Lead Electrical Engineer I designs, develops, troubleshoots, and validates modules for laboratory medical device new product development. The role owns hardware development across the product lifecycle and supports quality, regulatory, manufacturing, and field issue resolution.

What you'll do

• Lead electrical design and validation of high-density, multi-layer PCBs with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for new and on-market products and microcontroller-based subsystems.
• Design high-precision hardware platforms within the regulated medical device domain.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for product issues.
• Own hardware development of power management, signal conditioning, and microcontroller-based subsystems from concept to release, including architecture, design verification, and risk mitigation.
• Ensure hardware designs comply with IEC 60601, ISO 13485, and FDA Class I/II requirements.
• Coordinate external safety and EMC testing and drive design updates based on test results.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve manufacturing and field issues.
• Conduct feasibility studies, risk assessments, and design reviews.
• Validate designs through analysis and testing.
• Lead technical investigations for critical field failures, manufacturing escapes, and design defects.
• Own the end-to-end CAPA pipeline, using structured problem-solving frameworks such as 8D, 5-Whys, or Fishbone analysis to isolate failure modes, deploy immediate containment, and implement permanent design or procedural fixes across global product lines.
• Communicate complex hardware concepts clearly to software teams and non-technical stakeholders.

What you'll need

• B.E./B.Tech and M.E./M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
• 8+ years of experience in medical or industrial-grade PCB hardware development.
• Strong expertise in electronic system and circuit design.
• Strong expertise in EDA tools, including OrCAD, Altium, PADS, PSpice, LTspice, or equivalent.
• Strong expertise in IEC/FDA medical device regulations.
• Strong expertise in EMI/EMC standards and mitigation strategies.
• Masterful use of advanced lab equipment, including high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and active loads.
• Proven expertise in product lifecycle management, regulatory documentation, technical troubleshooting, and cross-functional leadership.

Nice to have

• Experience in medical device design and development, preferably within IVD instrumentation.
• Advanced certification in Electrical CAD/EDA tools.
• Experience in multi-layer PCB layout design, including component placement, trace routing, and applying DFM/DFA guidelines for seamless manufacturing.
• Exposure to medical device design processes and quality systems.
• Exposure to BOM and PCB manufacturing techniques.
• Strong PCB vendor communication skills.
• Experience with Six Sigma or equivalent DFSS/DMAIC methodologies to implement systematic design controls that maximize yield and ensure long-term product reliability.

Details
