Staff Electrical Engineer

Staff Electrical Engineer
Department: Technical Services



Reports To: Electrical Engineering Manager



Track: Individual Contributor (L4)



Discipline: Electrical



Work Arrangement: As designated for the position



Key Focus: Seeking a highly experienced Electrical Engineer with 15+ years of experience in high-speed circuit design and electro-mechanical systems , ideally with medical device/equipment development experience .

Position Summary

The Staff Electrical Engineer sets technical direction across major systems or programs, governs engineering methods, and solves systemic hardware problems.

This role leads high-risk design decisions, develops other engineers, influences customers and cross-functional teams, and ensures disciplined execution across architecture, risk management, verification, regulatory readiness, manufacturing, and lifecycle support.

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• Lead high-speed analog and digital, multi-system, advanced power and battery, precision motion, high-speed FPGA, RF, antenna, and highly constrained flex or multilayer architectures as applicable to program needs.
• Evaluate architectural alternatives using tolerance, interaction, signal-integrity, power-integrity, safety, use-condition, cost, manufacturability, reliability, and downstream-impact analyses.
• Approve hardware architecture, requirements, interface definitions, design documentation, and change impacts across major programs.
• Lead precision analog and high-speed digital debugging using advanced methods such as impedance analysis, S-parameters, eye diagrams, field modeling, and advanced analyzers as applicable.
• Resolve systemic failures that others cannot solve; introduce improved tools and methods and guide cross-functional containment and corrective action.
• Oversee hardware risk strategy across major programs, aligning system, hardware, usability, EMC, manufacturing, and patient-safety risks.
• Approve V&V strategies and reports; govern test automation, HALT/HASS, advanced characterization, evidence quality, and regulatory-test readiness.
• Lead manufacturing-readiness strategy and resolve supplier, obsolescence, production, reliability, and lifecycle risks across programs.
• Architect discipline deliverables into program plans, direct technical execution across major workstreams, and manage the work of others.
• Explain complex issues to technical and nontechnical audiences and lead difficult customer discussions, design reviews, and cross-team alignment.
• Conduct technical training, coach across disciplines, audit or improve work instructions and SOPs, and support large proposals and client technical reviews.
• Provide hardware technical leadership for regulatory submission content and application of relevant medical-device and EMC standards.
• Function as a hardware authority, provide forward-looking solutions to technical challenges, mentor and train team members on development processes and good practices, and provide meeting leadership when needed.

Required Skills

• Sustained cross-program evidence of technical direction, engineering-method governance, systemic problem solving, and development of others.
• Advanced expertise in one or more high-complexity domains such as:

• Precision analog
• High-speed digital or FPGA
• RF or EMC
• Power and battery systems
• Motion control
• Reliability
• Constrained PCB technology

• Demonstrated leadership in hardware architecture, risk strategy, V&V readiness, design transfer, customer engagement, and regulatory submission support.
• Strong command of applicable quality, risk, electrical safety, EMC, and medical-device development standards.
• Ability to influence major technical decisions without relying solely on direct authority.
• Prior supervisory or management experience is preferred when the assignment includes formal people-leadership responsibilities.

Experience & Education

The ideal candidate will have:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Master's degree or equivalent advanced expertise preferred.
• 8 15 years of experience , including demonstrated technical leadership across projects or teams.
