Engineer: Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Nanobiosym is an innovative, high-tech company that is developing novel technologies at the nexus of physics, nanotechnology, and biomedicine. Founded by MIT/Harvard alum and located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Nanobiosym was awarded the first X-Prize to be given for healthcare.

Position Overview:

We are expanding our development team and seeking an exceptional Senior Electrical Design Engineer with a strong background in hardware design, design for manufacturing (DFM), and full product realization . You will be a key player in designing advanced PCB systems, driving embedded hardware development, and delivering high-quality products to market.

This is a hands-on, technical leadership role for someone passionate about innovation, quality, and building real-world products that make an impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own full hardware development lifecycle : Specification, architecture, circuit design, simulation, schematic capture, prototyping, validation, and release to manufacturing.
• Lead PCB design and enhancement projects, ensuring scalability, manufacturability, and performance.
• Translate early-stage concept layouts into robust, production-ready circuit designs.
• Review layout and routing concepts to finalize the electrical scope of products.
• Design systems including MPUs, memory , and FPGAs ( preferred but not required ), ensuring low-level integration with embedded software.
• Implement control systems in compact, single-board designs with tight constraints.
• Create and maintain thorough documentation including design requirements, component selection rationale, calculations, and power/thermal budgets.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, evaluate, and refine hardware and driver requirements .
• Design and build test fixtures for hardware validation and functional testing.
• Support regulatory and quality processes with a focus on FDA and ISO 13485 compliance .

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering
• 5-10+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience in product development environments.
• Strong understanding of compliance standards in regulated industries (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485).
• Proven track record of delivering production-quality PCBs -from prototype through DFM and volume manufacturing.
• Deep experience with Altium , Autodesk Eagle , or comparable CAD tools (5+ years).
• Strong embedded hardware skills including C and Assembly programming for low-level systems.
• Experience with Verilog , FPGA , or ASIC design ( preferred but not required ).
• Familiarity with LabVIEW for test automation and instrumentation (3-5 years' experience preferred but not required ).
• Java programming skills ( preferred but not required ).

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD or MS/ME in EECS or related fields/experiences
• LabVIEW development experience in automated testing environments.
• National Instruments Certification (CLD or CLA).
• End-to-end experience developing and launching medical devices or similarly regulated products.
