Electrical Engineer II

Seeking a junior to mid-level electrical engineer to provide assistance to the medical device Released Product Engineering group (a.k.a. continuation engineering, sustaining engineering, product support). This group participates in several cross functional teams for market released external medical instrumentation products. Cross functional project teams include members from Product Development, Manufacturing, Marketing, Sourcing, Contract Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Reliability, and Regulatory functions. The group's primary objective is to provide the design expertise necessary to support continuity of quality and compliant products. This electrical engineer will be taking work direction from the engineers on staff to fulfill various technical and documentation responsibilities.

Position Responsibilities:

• Assess supplier driven changes, component changes, and component obsolescence for potential impact against product functional requirements and document the testing required or rationale (analysis) for no testing.
• Create test plans and reports and coordinate product testing.
• Evaluate returned product to determine the root cause of field returns and establish design improvements.
• Create and implement engineering changes in the company's Product Data Management system. This includes leading the cross functional change review and approval process.
• Communicate technical details and achieve the necessary understanding and trust from non-technical audiences.
• Provide technical expertise to support electrical and mechanical projects that expand the capabilities of existing product and system solutions.
• Review and analyze circuit schematics and technical component specifications.
• Design, simulate, and test analog and digital circuits either independently or while working closely with a design technician for the development of improved solutions and evaluation of returned product.
• Generate high quality formal documentation and records.
• Manage, configure, track, verify, and transport test samples.
• Assess the impact of changing regulatory standards on existing medical products and assess the impact of changes in medical products against existing regulatory standards.
• Typical issues are reactive and are often urgent, so priorities change frequently, and issues must be resolved quickly to assure quality and continuity of supply. Some issues requiring resolution may contain a mechanical element as well. Leverage area expertise and learn new design elements to quickly become the design expert as issues require.

Required Qualifications:

• 0 to 5 years industry experience
• Bachelor of Electrical Engineering or another Engineering with a very strong focus in electronics
• Must have the capability of functioning independently as an Electrical Engineer with minimal supervision
• Skills include analog/digital circuit design and troubleshooting, laboratory practices, circuit simulation, product testing, and design of experiments
• Demonstrated problem solving skills
• Strong written communication skills
• Proven experience working effectively both independently and with multi-functional teams.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience in a regulated industry (e.g. medical, aerospace, military).
• Experience in the development or support of medical products
• Experience with evolving technology such as USB, Bluetooth, mobile (cellular) technology, and WiFi
• Experience in manufacturing or post market support
• General understanding of how to interpret and apply industry recognized standards, especially for medical electronic products
• Strong verbal skills
• Experience with quick turn assignments
