Principal Electrical Engineer - Medical Device Development

As Principal Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing electrical and electronic hardware for complex medical instruments in a multi-disciplinary environment.

You will have the opportunity to work on a diverse set of product development efforts.

This is an advanced level and/or lead position in which work assignments require the regular application of generally acknowledged engineering expertise and the use of considerable initiative and creativity.

The incumbent provides technical leadership in significant design and development projects, and in the preparation of technical proposals.

Assignments require substantial coordination with internal sources and customer sources of information, oversight of the work of other engineers, and may involve representing the company where technical credibility is required.

Provides expert explanations, techniques, or approaches to colleagues, management, and customers.

Responsibilities


* Responsible for carrying out specific engineering project technical assignments as part of larger program objectives in the design and development of products, test equipment, or processes.


* Assist with the determination of design requirements.

Recommend design architecture.

Determine design feasibility, evaluate design alternatives, and select optimal design approach.

Consult with other engineering personnel to resolve more complex design alternatives.

Collaborate with the project team to solve complex technical problems, resolve design issues, and manage risk (technical and hazards).

Maintain liaisons with other departments.


* Develop requirements, specifications, schematics, simulations (where applicable), assembly drawings, bills of material, and material cost estimates.

Specify the design of cables and cable harness assemblies.

Utilize electronic design tools such as schematic capture.

Determine appropriate components, materials, and processes for specific applications.

Work with service bureaus and suppliers on PCB layout, fabrication, and other design/test activities.


* Develop reliability models for electrical, electronic, electromechanical, and electro-optical sub-assemblies and assemblies.


* Ensure component reliability based on technical evaluation of suppliers' specifications, designs, and manufacturing processes.


* Review and implement design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for test (DFT) objectives.


* Evaluate and analyze designs to assure technical soundness.


* Prepare technical documents and reports.

Prepare sub-system and module performance specifications.

Prepare engineering specifications for major component purchases.

Design engineering breadboards and prototypes.

Evaluate engineering breadboards and prototypes and translate experimental results into design criteria.


* Lead or conduct experiments/tests to determine operating characteristics of breadboards, prototypes, products, or processes.


* Ensure that sound engineering principle...
