This is a unique role that requires multiple areas of engineering prototype development and release to production. The Electrical Engineer will design and sustain electrical engineering systems of new and existing endoscopes and endoscope controller. The successful candidate will have the capability to adapt, learn fast and work collaboratively with other engineers to resolve complex design and manufacturing issues, as well as the ability to work in an interdisciplinary organization to deliver integrated products. Sound engineering judgment, aptitude to learn, an excellent sense of shared responsibility / shared reward is required as well as a commitment to high product quality.

The Electrical Engineer supports the Multiport Vision Engineering team and works closely with other engineering and clinical disciplines to achieve desired outcomes in the areas of electrical engineering. Excellent communication, solid sense of ownership and organization skills are critical for success in this role.

Supporting you will be a development and management team that knows and cares about what you are doing and is a partner in your continued career development and success.

Essential Job Duties:

This key technical engineering role work with a talented R&D engineering team responsible developing the next generation of electro-opto-mechanical product designs. The role requires the ability to collaborate across functions to implement electronics systems that balance performance, program risk, and commercial viability.

• Implement electronics designs and systems from concept to production release of electrical boards
• Make sound conclusions when faced with the time pressures and ambiguous or incomplete information typical of research and development
• Work effectively with other engineering staff and teams across disciplines (such as Software, Mechanical, Optical, Production test, Supply Chain, Clinical Development, Regulatory) to ensure design outputs work in concert with the rest of the system and meets requirements
• Represent Electrical Engineering on cross-functional project teams; keep track and report / present project status
• Other duties as needed and identified by the functional manager
