Lead Electrical Engineer
About The Position
SleepRes is a small, fast-moving R&D team developing next-generation sleep apnea therapy technologies. The Lead Electrical Engineer will lead the electrical and electronic architecture of current and future positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy systems. This hands-on technical leadership role owns the design, integration, verification, and production implementation of device electronics, including power architecture, PCBAs, sensors, blower and heater interfaces, display and user-interface hardware, communications hardware, electrical safety, EMC, and production-test interfaces. The engineer will work with systems, firmware, mechanical, software, verification and validation, NPI, quality, regulatory, overseas suppliers, and contract manufacturers to deliver reliable, compliant, and manufacturable electronics from concept through commercialization. The role may be filled at Staff or Principal level, depending on experience, technical scope, and demonstrated leadership. Staff-level candidates typically have 8 or more years of relevant product-development experience and serve as the primary electrical technical owner. Principal-level candidates typically have 10–12 or more years of experience and demonstrated platform-level technical leadership.
Requirements
- BS in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- At least 8 years of relevant electrical product-development experience; Principal-level candidates typically have 10–12 or more years and demonstrated platform-level technical leadership.
- Strong experience with analog and digital circuit design, embedded microcontroller systems, power electronics, sensor interfaces, PCB design, signal integrity, grounding, shielding, and EMC.
- Strong hands-on laboratory and troubleshooting skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, electronic loads, and related equipment.
- Experience with component selection, tolerance analysis, derating, lifecycle management, and alternate-component qualification.
- Demonstrated experience taking complex electromechanical products from concept through commercial production.
- Experience working directly with PCB assemblers, contract manufacturers, and component suppliers.
- Strong systems thinking and communication skills, with the ability to lead technical decisions in a fast-paced cross-functional environment.
Nice To Haves
- MS in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Experience developing CPAP, ventilator, respiratory, anesthesia, patient-monitoring, or other medical devices.
- Medical-device development experience under ISO 13485 and FDA design controls/QMSR.
- Familiarity with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, and applicable IEC/ISO 80601 requirements.
- Experience with pressure/flow sensors, blowers or motors, resistive heaters, thermistors, TFT/LCD displays, cellular modems, BLE, or Wi-Fi.
- Experience with FCC, PTCRB, cellular-carrier, or other wireless-device certification.
- Experience with production-test systems, high-volume Asian manufacturing partners, and electrical failure analysis.
- Experience leading electrical engineers or serving as the electrical technical lead for a multidisciplinary product program.
Responsibilities
- Lead electrical architecture, design, development, and verification for SleepRes PAP products.
- Own main control PCBAs, power distribution and conversion, sensor interfaces, blower and heater electronics, display and user-interface hardware, communications hardware, and electrical protection circuitry.
- Translate system requirements into electrical specifications, interfaces, component selections, design margins, and production-ready solutions.
- Lead schematic, PCB layout, component-selection, tolerance, derating, grounding, shielding, and signal-integrity reviews.
- Own electrical-safety and EMC engineering, including early pre-compliance testing, troubleshooting, and support for formal certification testing.
- Lead the hardware aspects of cellular, BLE, Wi-Fi, antenna, SIM/eSIM, and RF integration, and support FCC, PTCRB, carrier, and related certification activities.
- Support verification and reliability testing and conduct hands-on root-cause investigations using appropriate electrical laboratory equipment.
- Work with NPI, PCBA suppliers, and contract manufacturers on DFM, testability, ICT and functional testing, calibration, programming, end-of-line testing, yield, and design transfer.
- Partner with Operations and Strategic Sourcing on component lifecycle, alternate-source qualification, supplier changes, value engineering, and cost reduction.
- Support design controls and risk management, including requirements, specifications, DFMEA, verification documentation, engineering reports, and design changes.
- Lead electrical architecture and cross-functional technical decisions, mentor engineers, and, at the Principal level, establish engineering standards and influence multiple product generations.
