Senior Software/Electrical Engineer (Embedded)

Position Summary

The Senior Electrical Engineer (EE) has technical leadership and responsibility over the design, development and integration of innovative hardware into new medical device products. Duties include definition of high level architecture and detailed embedded controls system design and development. The Sr. EE executes hardware design activities on key new product development programs. The candidate must be able to solve complex controls system design problems by applying knowledge of engineering or scientific principles to accomplish technical assignments, while delivering products within schedule, cost, performance, quality and reliability targets. The candidate will have a capability to effectively interface with multiple engineering disciplines to arrive at the optimum design in an efficient manner. Products are developed to meet FDA requirements. Therefore, the candidate must demonstrate an understanding of designing product in a regulated environment.
