Senior Electrical Engineer

Haemonetics designs and manufactures medical devices that separates blood components (e.g. apheresis devices) for therapeutic treatments, pharmaceutical industry, blood transfusions, and other diagnostic equipment to support the healthcare blood management industry.

This is a key and critical role in the research and development team based at 125 Summer Street, Boston, MA. (5-minute walk from South Station) The qualified candidate will be a highly motivated Sr Electrical Engineer for the overall design, integration, reliability, and test of existing and next generation product enhancements.

Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to the following:

• Design, develop, and maintain medical device platforms that separates blood components (e.g. apheresis devices) for therapeutic treatments, blood transfusions, pharmaceutical industry, and diagnostic equipment to support the healthcare blood management industry.
• Primary focus will be on new and current product support in analog/digital design.
• Model circuits using various simulation tools, such as PSPICE and MATLAB.
• Lead cross functional technical team discussions following our design control process from product's requirements, designs, verification, and product release while meeting our customers demanding requirements of size, weight, power, cost, environmental, and other use model conditions.
• Lead product failure investigations: Investigate and determine root cause of product issues found in manufacturing and the field. Troubleshoot systems, PCBs, cables, and firmware. Develop tool & test equipment to analyze and resolve issues.
• Lead technical discussions with key component suppliers in the areas of analog/digital converters, power supplies, optical sensors, electromechanical devices, microprocessors, motor controllers, redundant safety circuits, touchscreen user interfaces, fluid controls, and other technologies.
• Design & build electrical prototypes and prove design feasibility, functionality, and performance.
• Document all phases of the design including requirements, specifications, plans, reviews, test procedures, test reports, and design for manufacturing. (i.e. drawings, schematics, experiments, changes, test results, data, PCB layout, etc.)
