Principal Electrical Engineer – Power Electronics & CT Architecture

GE HealthCare•Waukesha, WI

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Join GE HealthCare's CT Engineering team to define how electrical power is designed, distributed, and managed across next-generation CT systems. This hands-on technical leadership role shapes the power architecture and technical direction while remaining actively involved in engineering design, analysis, prototyping, troubleshooting, and testing. The role spans multiple circuit boards and electrical subsystems, with opportunities to influence long-term technical strategy and grow from board-level design into system-level architecture and technical leadership. The position is based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with a hybrid schedule of approximately three days onsite. Relocation assistance is available. GE HealthCare will not sponsor employment visas for this opening. Employment is contingent on legal authorization to work in the United States and successful completion of a drug screen, as applicable.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
At least 7 years of professional electrical engineering experience.
Strong hands-on experience with power electronics and power conversion.
Experience designing and analyzing electrical circuits, including schematic design and simulation.
Experience with PCB design/layout and schematic capture.
Experience taking electrical designs from concept through prototype, testing, and production support.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly across engineering teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience with switching power supplies, converters, or power distribution systems.
Experience with buck/boost or resonant converter design.
Experience with high-power or higher-voltage electrical systems.
Experience with EMC-conscious design and troubleshooting.
Experience with design for reliability and manufacturability.
Familiarity with UL, ETL, IEC, or other applicable regulatory standards.
Experience with digital electronics or FPGA/VHDL.
Experience leading complex technical designs or influencing system-level architecture.

Responsibilities

Define and evolve electrical power architecture for advanced CT systems.
Design analog and power electronics circuitry, including power conversion, controls, and high-speed interfaces.
Develop electrical architectures spanning multiple boards, components, and subsystems.
Create and review schematics and PCB designs using ECAD tools.
Lead technical design reviews and promote engineering rigor and best practices.
Build and evaluate prototypes; conduct hands-on troubleshooting, validation, and reliability testing.
Take designs from concept through prototype, verification, and production support.
Partner with digital, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, service, and global engineering teams to solve design challenges.
Balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and regulatory requirements in design decisions.
Help shape longer-term power electronics strategy for future CT platforms.
