About the role:

 

Responsible for providing electrical engineering support and expertise in the definition, design, development and test of complex implantable medical devices.  Specific job responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

• Hardware design of RF antenna and PCB layout for an implanted medical device, including simulation and testing for both performance and RF compliance.
• Test development and execution for MR-conditional approval for an implanted medical device.
• Test development and execution for rechargeability of an implanted medical device.

 

Your responsibilities will include:

 

• Design, develop, debug, modify, and test electrical circuits and systems by using current tools, analysis techniques, and technologies
• Document electrical development by writing documents, reports, memos, change requests; methods used are determined by approved procedures and standards
• Track electrical development effort by creating and maintaining records in the approved tracking management tool to include utilizing multiple version control, defect tracking, and peer review tools including Accurev, JIRA and Windchill
• Solve engineering problems by analyzing the situation and recommending corrective or alternative actions
• Analyze, evaluate, and verify requirements, circuits, and systems by using engineering practices
• Investigate, research, and select electronic circuits, components, tools, equipment, and practices
• Perform design analysis and exploratory testing
• Work with electrical and mechanical hardware and associated tools and infrastructure
