What You Will Do

As a R&D Electrical Design Engineer, you will perform the electrical hardware design on complex embedded systems projects, including those in fields such as power tools, motor control, localization, and high-speed wired/wireless communication.  In this role, you will drive all aspects of circuit board design from concept to production for embedded medical devices that supports our cordless orthopaedic power tool product lines.  These systems are for instrumentation used by Orthopedic Surgeons to allow them to plan and perform their procedures.

• Design and develop electrical components for medical devices.
• Apply circuit and electrical system test methods.
• Assist, conduct or design prototyping and bench testing.
• Support or conduct problem solving, identify potential solutions, and evaluate them against requirements.
• Under supervision, conduct research and studies to support product design.
• Translate design inputs to engineering specifications and produce component and sub-system level designs.
• Support creation of embedded systems requirements/architecture for new products leading to engineering PCB assembly board-spins/bring-ups and finally to a finished product.
• Assist, conduct or design, analysis for electromagnetic compliance (EMC), reliability, safety, cost and design for manufacturing/assembly/test.

Business Responsibilities:

• Interpret customer needs and understands design inputs.
• Understand the product’s intended use and clinical procedures.

Med Device Compliance:

• Understand fundamental industry standards, design requirements and test strategies which align with regulatory requirements.
• With supervision, create or refine engineering documentation, such as the Design History file per company design control procedures.
• Follow R&D procedures like design controls and risk management, per the Quality Management System.

General Responsibilities:

• Work cooperatively with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing and Project Management to ensure project success and contribute to the project as a team member.
• Learn procedures, policies, processes, systems, and technology required.
• Work on problems in limited scope; purposefully learn while gaining experience.
• Demonstrate ownership and integrity of work.
• Build stable relationships.
