Responsibilities

As a Senior Electrical Engineer you will lead electrical design of cutting edge instrumentation products. You will start from an R&D concept, design the architecture of the system, and take that design through to production and hand off to a contract manufacturer. This includes design of electronic boards and subsystems of medical lab instrumentation. You will handle tasks requiring precise timing and communication with the host computer, and general analog and digital I/O. You will analyze system requirements and propose and design the electrical architecture. In addition, a successful candidate will select and interface with vendors to qualify electronic components to be included in the instrument, as well as select and manage PCBA manufacturers and establish incoming inspection practices. As part of the role, you will additionally establish SOPs for assembly and testing of electronic subassemblies. You will be hands-on in the lab bringing up and calibrating complex electrical and mechanical sensors, controlling motor assemblies, and fluidics pumps, valves, and flow meters. Finally, you will troubleshoot electrical issues observed in the systems.
