Electrical Engineer - Surgical Robotics
About The Position
The Electrical Engineer will support a customer’s Robotics Division, focusing on electrical systems for surgical robotic instruments and end effectors. The role includes designing, developing, testing, modifying, and validating electrical components and PCB assemblies for robotic and medical-device applications. The engineer will work with analog and digital electronics, RF signaling, cable and wire harness design, and medical-device safety standards, particularly IEC 60601. The position involves revising and documenting existing electrical designs, supporting board bring-up and troubleshooting, verifying electrical performance, and addressing grounding, power distribution, EMC, and thermal considerations. The engineer will collaborate with mechanical, systems, and other engineering teams to resolve integration challenges. The role is a 12–18 month contract, fully onsite five days per week in Kalamazoo, Michigan, or Weston, Florida.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- At least 7 years of experience in electrical design engineering.
- Strong knowledge of IEC 60601 medical electrical equipment safety standards.
- Hands-on experience designing products incorporating PCBs and RF signaling.
- Experience creating and maintaining electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
- Experience with PCB assemblies, cable design, and wire harnesses.
- Knowledge of electrical grounding, power design, and EMC principles.
- Experience using electrical design software to modify and document existing designs.
- Ability to work onsite five days per week in Kalamazoo, Michigan, or Weston, Florida.
