Electrical Engineer - Robotics (New York)

Faction Imaging is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to help accelerate the development of next-generation medical imaging solutions. In this role, you will work with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and contribute to the design, integration, and validation of robust, production-quality hardware systems that enable efficient and reliable execution of critical medical procedures performed millions of times each year.

Core Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and integrate electronic systems for a platform, including electromechanical actuators, power distribution, communication interfaces, and subsystems involving high-density, impedance-controlled, low-noise RF signaling
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of electronic designs, defining system architectures and interfaces across motors, sensors, embedded computing, and safety-critical electronics from concept through validation
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, controls, and systems engineers, as well as industrial designers, to manage cross-disciplinary tradeoffs and ensure cohesive system integration
• Support manufacturing, assembly, and test builds, including documentation, troubleshooting, and design refinement
• Provide technical input and system-level guidance for the integration of specialized sensing electronics, coordinating with external experts as needed

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
• 5+ years of experience designing and integrating electronic systems for robotics, distributed systems, or complex electromechanical products
• Demonstrated proficiency with PCB schematic capture and board layout using professional eCAD tools (e.g., Altium, Allegro, or equivalent)
• Experience with network and fieldbus protocols such as EtherCAT and CAN, as well as embedded serial protocols including SPI and I²C
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation using standard lab instrumentation
• Experience designing flexible printed circuits, specifying connectors and cabling, and addressing EMI/ESD and signal integrity challenges

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing electronics for medical devices, including familiarity with IEC 60601-1 (or experience in other regulated, safety-critical environments such as aerospace)
• Familiarity with system-level documentation such as functional specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures
• Working knowledge of mechanical CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks) to support collaborative integration with mechanical designs
• Experience supporting manufacturing transfer, supplier engagement, and early production builds
• Experience with power electronics, power distribution, and battery systems

This is a part-time hybrid position, which will require time in Faction’s office in downtown Manhattan.
