Senior Staff Electrical Engineer, R&D

Electrical Senior Staff Engineer

As Electrical Senior Staff Engineer, you will be responsible for a wide variety of engineering work for development of hospital beds and stretchers medical devices including concept development, prototype design build and test, design changes, DFMEAs and compliance testing to ensure successful product launch. You may support and conduct root cause analysis, verification and validation testing, manufacturing transfer activities, component obsolescence management for existing products.

Technical Responsibilities:

• Work closely with manufacturing and other cross functional partners to support day to day manufacturing including but not limited to line down issues, service parts, manufacturing transfers & supplier-initiated change requests (SICRs)
• Support Quality & Service teams for analysis of customer complaints related to product failures & provide solutions to resolve the same. May need to travel to customers, as needed, to better understand and solve ongoing field issues.
• Work on engineering change orders (ECOs) and own the design change from root cause analysis to implementation; this involves working with cross functional team members to understand the problem, propose solutions, prototype design, arrange parts/samples by working directly with suppliers, plan and conduct testing, arrange team collaboration meetings, present to Change approval board for design approval and implementation
• May need to own Non-Conformances (NC) and design Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPAs) plans & present the same to divisional and GQO quality board meetings on regular basis
• Through the design process, you may design circuits including but not limited to Schematic Capture, Layout and Failure Mode Analysis for PCBA's, Cables and other electromechanical components.
• Analyze & test for electromagnetic compliance (EMI/EMC), reliability, safety, cost and design for manufacturing / assembly / test.
• Work with electrical tools like DMM, Oscilloscope & product specific test fixtures
• Translate user needs to design inputs/specifications and produce advanced component and sub-system level designs.

What You Will Need:

• Bachelor of Science degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 6+ years of related design experience
• Advanced understanding of electrical components like microcontrollers, power supplies, motor control designs and manufacturing methods including common failure modes.
• Experience with PCB Schematic & Layout process and tools (e.g. PSpice, LTspice, OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, Altium, etc.).
• Experience using electronic hardware lab tools for development of design (e.g. Oscilloscope, Electronic Loads, Function Generator, Spectrum Analyzer, Environmental Chambers).

• Knowledge of wired interface protocols, including I2C, UART, RS-232, RS-485, CAN, SPI, LVDS, Ethernet, and DRAM interfaces
• Knowledge of wireless interface protocols, such as Bluetooth, BLE, RFID, and Wi-Fi, including standards, requirements, and testing protocols
• Experience working with suppliers on process improvements, test methods development e.g. ICT, FCTs
