Senior Electrical Engineer
About The Position
The Senior Electrical Engineer works individually on project assignments, evaluating, selecting, and applying contemporary electrical engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria. The role contributes to small and large multidisciplinary engineering teams and ensures the efficient integration of assigned design elements into Cadwell’s neurodiagnostics equipment. The engineer supports new product design, creates design specifications, PCB schematics and layouts, and prototypes, and helps ensure products meet technical and regulatory requirements. They serve as a hardware resource to firmware, software, sustaining, and operations teams throughout development, design transfer, and launch. The position also supports design reviews, plans and carries out design verification testing, participates in regulatory compliance testing, and creates and maintains documentation and design files in accordance with internal processes and regulatory standards. The role requires maintaining technical knowledge of manufacturing and competitive technologies and design engineering. Other duties may be assigned. Travel may be required, and work outside normal business hours may occasionally be needed to meet business needs.
