Job Description:

Johnson & Johnson, Robotics and Digital Solutions (RAD) group is recruiting for a Staff Electrical Compliance Engineer located in Santa Clara, CA.

At Johnson & Johnson Robotics and Digital Solutions, we’re changing the trajectory of health for humanity, using robotics to enhance healthcare providers’ abilities and improve patients’ diagnoses, treatments, and recovery times. Johnson & Johnson Robotics was established in 2020 with the integration of Auris Health, Verb Surgical, C-SATS, and Ethicon. It comprises three key med-tech platforms: Flexible Robotics (MONARCH®), Surgical Robotics (OTTAVA™), and Digital Solutions. Join our collaborative, rapidly growing teams in the San Francisco Bay Area (Redwood City and Santa Clara), Cincinnati, and Seattle. You’ll collaborate on breakthrough medical technologies that unite multiple subject areas to build a connected digital ecosystem that advances medical professionals’ skills and improves patient outcomes.

Johnson & Johnson MedTech is developing a robotic surgical platform that will set a new standard for the modern OR and transform the surgical experience. OTTAVA is designed as a multi-specialty soft-tissue surgery robot, activating the benefits of AI/ML, connecting health data inside the operating room and out.

The Hardware Team in the RAD group is a diverse group of highly motivated engineers who are passionate about architecting, developing and prototyping the next generation, groundbreaking robotic platforms. We want you to join our team and be part of the success of our mission. 

Overview

We are seeking an engineer that is passionate about problem solving and ready to work across the broader R&D Team in support of IEC 60601 device compliance. In this role, you will lead the effort to test our surgical robotic system for compliance with international standards for Medical Device electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and Wireless Intentional Radiator licensing. This role includes providing design input guidance, test planning and execution, and test report (TRF) generation to support JnJ Quality and Regulatory objectives. Testing will be performed both internally and outside NRTL accredited testing laboratories providing evidence assuring compliance with necessary relevant standards.

This position places an emphasis on working closely with a multi-disciplinary engineering team to develop complex hardware designs. Candidates must be self motivated, independent and have an eagerness to learn and work as a team, and a desire to thrive in a very fast paced environment. You are expected to demonstrate advanced electrical engineering knowledge, be able to independently resolve approaches to technical problems, and have communication capabilities vital to communicate broadly across engineering teams.

Core Job Responsibilities: 

• Define IEC-60601 executional strategy across geographies and commercial releases.

• Support Onsite EMC testing in RF pre-compliance lab and External EMC Testing at external compliance laboratories for entire robotic system.

• Develop test and verification methods for electromagnetic compatibility across platform.

• Perform negotiation of test strategy and execution with NRTLs in support of program objectives.

• Advise design engineering on EMC guidelines and perform design reviews across the entire robotic platform.

• Support EMC troubleshooting and iterative EMC design improvements.

• Generate isolation diagrams, risk documentation, reports, and 60601 related documentation.

• Supporting regulatory submissions across geographies and clinical indications.

Qualifications

Required Knowledge/Skills, Education, And Experience:

• Bachelors in Electrical En
