• Develop and test electronic circuits using Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout, and simulation.
• Perform hands-on prototyping, debugging, and testing using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and RF test equipment.
• Design patient-isolated and safety-compliant electrical systems following IEC 60601 and ISO 13485 standards.
• Lead verification and validation (V&V) activities, document results, and support production transfer.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to optimize design and performance.
• Support testing in phantom, ex-vivo, and in-vivo environments, including RF/SAR field mapping.
• Work with vendors and testing labs (NRTL) for certification and MRI compatibility.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in electronics and system design, preferably in medical device development.
• Proficiency in embedded systems, RF communications (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID), and electromechanical integration.
• Strong experience with schematic design, PCB layout, power architecture, and safety standards.
• Skilled in documentation, requirements definition, and test plan development.
• Hands-on experience in transferring designs to production and troubleshooting prototype systems.
