Principal Electrical Engineer

Principal Electrical Engineer – Medical Devices Base pay range: $40.00/hr - $73.00/hr Overview The Principal Electrical Engineer will be a key technical resource. This individual will support all phases of new platform development ranging from concept and technology development through commercialization and post-market support. Responsibilities Architect, design, develop, test and transfer to production electromechanical systems and disposables for product development activities, including system diagrams, architecture development, component selection, sub-system design, prototype creation, V&V activities, production tool planning and design and test fixtures for class 2 medical devices. Specific tasks including electronic architecture design, block diagram creation, patient isolation design, power distribution design, component and processing platform selection, schematic entry, layout support/oversight, prototype build oversight, prototype testing, transfer to production support. Research product development solutions and provide analysis for product direction. Consult and solicit feedback from internal stakeholders to identify customer needs and translate these requirements into engineering designs. Optimize design and collaborate with other design engineers to improve designs based on test results. Work with external vendors and partners to speed up product development and testing. Develop fixtures and use off-the-shelf equipment to create test environments for evaluating performance of new ablation systems (e.g., testing in phantoms, ex-vivo tissue, in-vivo testing, SAR field mapping). Create documentation and support materials in conjunction with design and development activities. Ensure all work meets high ethical and professional standards and aligns with Varian values. Be a hands-on technical resource for mechanical, electrical and software engineering teams by contributing to design ideas and problem solving. Perform other related duties as assigned. Qualifications Minimum of a B.S. degree in Electrical or related engineering field. 10+ years of electronics design and system design experience for new product development. Technical competencies: experience developing software-driven electromechanical medical devices; prior experience with ablation devices is a strong plus. Experience with electrical engineering design processes and tools (e.g., Altium Designer): schematic capture, PCB layout, circuit simulation, component selection, patient/user safety, power distribution architecture and design. Experience with wireless technologies (Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, RFID). Proficiency with spectrum analyzers, high-frequency scopes and other test instrumentation; hands-on prototyping and troubleshooting. Experience with ISO 13485 quality management systems and working with NRTL for IEC 60601 compliance is desired. Ability to create clear product design documentation (concept diagrams, specifications, requirements, test plans, V&V reports). Experience working in a distributed, collaborative team environment; extensive hands-on experience building, testing and debugging prototype devices; experience transferring designs to production. Highly self-motivated with keen attention to detail; ability to learn new technologies and solve problems; ability to prioritize and manage work in high-pressure environments.
