About The Position

Job Summary: Primary Function of Position Are you a resourceful, hands-on engineer who is ready to learn from the best in the industry? We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our Advanced Energy Systems team. This is not a "hide behind a desk" role. You will work directly under industry-leading electrical engineers to build, test, and document a groundbreaking medical device within a rigorous timeline. The ideal candidate is "street smart"—you know how to find a solution when a part is out of stock, you aren't afraid to pick up a soldering iron, and you have the humility to realize that the "boring" tasks (like documentation and board testing) are the foundation of a safe, successful medical product.

Requirements

• CAD Proficiency: Proven experience (work, internships or personal projects) in Altium, KiCAD, or OrCAD. You should be able to navigate a complex schematic and layout a multi-layer board.
• Lab Skills : High proficiency with oscilloscopes, DMMs, and soldering stations (SMD rework experience is a huge plus).
• Electrical Fundamentals : A strong grasp of Ohm’s Law, passive components, and basic transistor circuits.
• Humility & Eagerness : You view "chore work" as an opportunity to see how world-class systems are built from the ground up.
• Communication : You can explain what you found during a test clearly and concisely to a busy senior Electrical Engineers, Systems Engineers, and Embedded Engineers.
• Resourcefulness : You are "street smart." When you hit a wall, you try three different solutions before asking for help.
• Resilience: You thrive in a high-performing, fast-paced environment where the schedule is tight and the stakes are high.
• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• A minimum of 5 years of related experience with a university degree; or 3 years of experience and a master’s degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.

Nice To Haves

• Python Mastery: Experience using Python for data analysis (NumPy/Pandas) or instrument control (PyVISA) to make testing more efficient.
• A Passion for the Craft: You truly love electrical circuit design. You likely have a portfolio of personal projects, "dead-bug" prototypes, or a home lab where you experiment.

Responsibilities

• Rapid PCBA Development & Iteration Support the senior staff by taking high-level schematics into functional PCBA layouts using Altium, OrCAD, or KiCAD . Manage the component library and handle the "boots on the ground" work of sourcing parts and working with fabrication houses to meet tight deadlines.
• Board-Level Testing & "The Chores" Perform rigorous, repetitive board-level testing, thermal characterization, and signal integrity checks that the senior engineers define. Be the primary owner of the bench setup : calibrate equipment, manage cable harnesses, and ensure the lab is ready for high-precision testing. Assist in "bring-up" phases—manually probing boards and identifying solder bridges or assembly errors.
• Documentation & Regulatory Support Own the technical documentation that is vital for medical device compliance (Design History Files, Test Reports, and BOM management). Translate raw test data into clear, concise reports that "connect the dots" between electrical performance and system requirements.
• "Connect the Dots" Problem Solving Actively listen during design reviews and help bridge the gap between different sub-systems (e.g., how the power supply affects the sensor noise floor). Exhibit a "can-do" attitude—if the team needs a custom test fixture built by tomorrow, you are the one who figures out how to make it happen.

Benefits

• Direct Mentorship: You will be "shadowing" some of the brightest minds in power electronics and medical energy.
• Career Acceleration: One year in this role is equivalent to three years at a traditional, slow-moving corporation.
• Impact: Your work will directly contribute to a device that saves or improves lives.
