About The Position

Build electronics that restore sight—and lead a team that makes it possible Imagine your engineering decisions enabling safer surgeries and better outcomes for millions. That’s the opportunity at Bausch + Lomb, a global eye health leader with 170 years of innovation, a footprint in ~100 countries, 13,000 employees, and a portfolio of 400+ products. Our purpose: helping you see better, to live better. Your mission Lead the Electronics Design Group responsible for the architecture, development, verification, and commercialization of electronic systems for Class II and III surgical devices. You’ll ensure PCB and cable designs are robust, manufacturable, and compliant—while elevating execution quality across multiple concurrent programs. Your impact in the first year Stabilize and extend a portfolio of 50+ mixed-signal PCBs and cable interconnects, improving quality and DFM/DFx. Set a clear electronics development playbook: tools, documentation, reviews, and risk management across IEC 60601, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and IEC 62304. Deliver new electronics architectures for embedded/electromechanical surgical platforms—partnering tightly with software, mechanical, systems, quality, and manufacturing. Provide resource/schedule estimates and risk scenarios to NPD project managers; shepherd programs from concept through commercialization. Represent electronics as SME for FDA 510(k)/PMA submissions and support audits. Develop team capabilities, supplier/CM relationships, and KPIs that drive predictable outcomes.
