About The Position

Verathon is looking for an Electrical Engineer III to join our Urology R&D team in Bothell, WA. This role will focus on designing and developing electronic systems and components for a new program aimed at improving patient outcomes in urological endoscopy procedures. The Electrical Engineer III will be responsible for the electronic design, analysis, and development of complex medical device systems, translating system requirements into detailed circuit and PCB designs, conducting engineering analysis, developing and testing prototypes, supporting design verification and validation, and ensuring designs meet EMI/EMC requirements and regulatory compliance. This role will utilize Verathon's New Product Development (NPD) process and Quality Management System, working closely with cross-functional teams throughout the product development lifecycle.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a relevant engineering field of study is required.
Proficiency in PCB design (schematic capture and layout) using industry-standard EDA tools; Altium Designer or equivalent preferred
Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree or 3 years and a Master’s degree or PhD.
3+ years of experience in the medical device industry or other highly regulated industry (aerospace, defense, or similar)
Strong technical aptitude and problem-solving skills

Nice To Haves

Experience with simulation tools (SPICE, LTspice, or equivalent) and scripting languages (Python or MATLAB) for circuit analysis and test automation is preferred
Technical expertise in camera systems and imaging sensors (CCD/CMOS), LED lighting design and drive circuitry, circuit board design, power conversion and management, and microprocessors is preferred
Working knowledge of medical device development processes, including design controls, risk management, verification/validation, and applicable regulatory standards particularly diagnostic imaging or endoscopy systems, is preferred
Experience with flex PCB technology, high-density interconnect (HDI) design, RF/high-speed signal design, or FPGA integration is preferred.

Responsibilities

Serve as a core technical contributor on major development projects or multiple simultaneous projects, working independently with review at critical points
Ensure that engineering design activities follow the development procedure and maintain strict design control
Develop electronic systems and documentation in compliance with applicable medical device standards, regulatory requirements, and Verathon design control procedures.
Interact with internal and external stakeholders, component vendors, and contract manufacturers to design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness
Adapt communication style to differing technical and non-technical audiences
Design robust analog and digital multilayer PCBs and flex circuits.
Investigate design approaches, evaluate tradeoffs, and develop solutions to complex technical problems through analysis, prototyping, and bench testing.
Support project scope, proposals, and expense controls.
Develop business justifications and cost proposals for capital equipment, prototyping, and V&V activities.
Integrate and interface specific subsystem technologies including camera and imaging sensors, other sensor interfaces, LED lighting drive circuits, power conversion, microprocessors, data storage, and high-speed interfaces into complex multilayer rigid, flex, and hybrid PCB designs
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex EMI/EMC issues; apply design techniques for impedance control and electromagnetic compatibility to meet regulatory emissions and immunity requirements
Mentor team members and share technical knowledge through formal and informal collaboration
