Electrical Engineer

Job Summary:

This is a position at a basic level to assist more senior engineers in component selection and analysis, circuit analysis, circuit modeling, and the development of methods to verify design correctness and debug design deficiencies.  The engineer will work closely with other engineers to receive direction, make measurements, process data, and prepare reports.  At a more advanced level, the engineer will work more independently, designing prototypes, new methods for analyzing circuits, data collection, and analysis. The engineer will advance their expertise in analog and digital circuits, embedded firmware design, test automation, FPGA, and system design.  The end products are primarily designed for medical devices requiring thorough documentation including formal design reviews, FMEAs, theory of operations, and investigative reports.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Participate with others to develop electrical circuits for medical products.
• Support the gathering and analysis of data to improve understanding of vendor-supplied parts including batteries, ICs, and passive components.  This may involve
  • Development of test fixtures
  • Manual measurements and the design of automated measurement scripts
  • Analyzing the data using Matlab, Excel, as well as pencil and paper.
  • Presenting reports both inside the group and to larger audiences within SDD
• Develop device and circuit models. (Spice, statistical, Matlab/Simulink)
• Make measurements to verify device and circuit models using a wide range of test equipment.
• Sustaining engineering support for operations for current designs
• Participate in formal design reviews as both presenter and reviewer for reviews hosted by, and outside the group to ensure hardware and system requirements are met
• Contribute to or responsible for FMEA, TSP, DRA, PRA, Component Spec, Schematics, and PCB documentation
• Risk and design analysis of the root cause
• Provide concise, detailed documentation
• Other duties as assigned by the group and project lead engineers

Min Qualifications:

• EE degree
• Master’s degree preferred
• Experience in microprocessor programming in C
• Experience in programming in one high-level language
• Aptitude for both digital and analog design
