About the Role:

The Junior Electrical Engineer will be working alongside the senior electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and software engineers on medical device development. This role is multi-disciplinary with technical responsibility for our device electrical system, PCBs, and wiring diagrams, providing continuous feedback on the development process and accepting feedback as well. It is also expected that some software development for the device is performed by the Junior Electrical Engineer. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of hardware electrical design and exposure to software development for hardware. We are looking for a team player who views medical device development as a competitive advantage. We are a rapidly growing business with the opportunity for the right candidate to continue advancing their role and responsibilities as the company grows.

What You’ll Do:

1. Designing system level schematics, electrical isolation strategy, as well as detailed PCB schematics and layout.
2. Designing precision motion stages and components, electromechanical system parts and assemblies in a CAD environment.
3. Developing low-level device control software in C++ with guidance.
4. Documentation, including schematics, wire harness drawings, PCB files, and component specifications for FDA processes.
5. Modelling and developing electrical systems throughout the device, such as stepper and DC motor control, AC power systems, low voltage data, and high sensitivity analog and digital signals.
6. Designing and prototyping analog and digital circuits, primarily for integration of sensors.
7. Building cable harnesses, designing signal and power distribution networks.
8. Building prototypes and test fixtures including instrumenting with data acquisition systems and programming.
9. Unit and system testing of prototype designs.
10. Role may require some travel.

Our Perfect Candidate:

1. BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering or in an equivalent area.
2. Exposure to software/firmware programming in C++.
3. Competency in designing large electromechanical system components.
4. Proven design record.
5. Analytical problem-solving skills, such as modeling and simulations.
6. Design of high sensitivity analog and data systems.
7. Design of power conditioning due to motors and high inrush current components.
8. Design experience with embedded hardware such as Microcontrollers and FPGAs.
9. Knowledge of IEC safety and EMC standards and experience in working with regulated test labs.
10. Working with teams in multiple sites.
11. Involvement in automation-related extracurricular activities, such as First Robotics.
12. Lab bench experience including soldering, wiring, troubleshooting, and using lab equipment to explain results.
13. Experience in working with Linux systems and microprocessors.
