Electrical Engineer

This role is crucial for developing and optimizing test systems for ultrasound medical devices, managing hardware bring-up and debug, and continuously improving our lab environment. The engineer will design, test, and integrate electrical systems and test fixtures, ensuring compliance with medical device standards, and provide essential support for manufacturing and product improvement through robust testing and failure analysis processes.

Responsibilities:

• Develop specifications, designs, and control firmware/software for production-level test fixtures and bench-level experimental setups.
• Design and test electrical and optoelectronic circuits and systems for ultrasound transducers, imaging hardware, and test setups.
• Perform single and multi-board PCB bring-up, testing, debug, and rework.
• Integrate hardware components with firmware and software, characterizing system performance and signal integrity using appropriate lab instrumentation.
• Lead incoming system hardware bring-up, initial test, and debug.
• Lead failure analysis of test issues and implement corrective actions.
• Improve existing test designs and methodologies to optimize for efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Develop and maintain electrical design and test documentation, test plans, protocols, work instructions, and SOPs, adhering to medical device regulatory standards and the Company's quality management system.
• Support system testing throughout the regulatory process.
• Specify, recommend, install, and operate lab equipment; manage inventory of systems, instruments, transducers, and components, developing supporting processes.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and contract manufacturers.

Qualifications:

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a relevant engineering field.
• 5+ years of industry experience in hardware development, testing, and debugging.
• Extensive lab experience with instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, data acquisition, etc.) and electronic debugging/troubleshooting (soldering, probing).
• Experience with hardware design, testing, and integration, including power and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Hands-on experience with PCB design and layout (Altium preferred), including layout for test setups.
• Experience with EMI/EMC test equipment and methodologies.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering specifications, drawings, and technical analyses.
• Knowledge of medical device electrical standards and regulations (IEC 60601, ISO 13485).
• Experience writing documentation to support a quality management system for regulated products.
• Experience with mechanical subsystem building, debugging, and troubleshooting (e.g., 3D printing).
• Familiarity with CAD design and layout tools (spice simulation experience a plus).
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Willing to relocate to the St. Louis, MO area.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge and hands-on experience with Design Control for regulated products.
• Demonstrated capability writing control code and test scripts with Python or C/C++.
• Hands-on experience with optical setups and general optical instrumentation.
• Hands-on experience with systems using FPGAs or microcontrollers.
• Passion for medical devices.

Pay:

• $110,000 - $180,000 yearly
