About The Position

In the role of Senior Electronics Engineer (m/f/d), you will take charge of the conceptualization and circuit design of analogue and digital assemblies for diagnostic devices in medical applications. Building prototypes and demonstrators, conducting systematic troubleshooting at the assembly and component levels, and performing EMC pre-compliance testing will be part of your daily routine. You will also actively contribute to risk analyses and Design FMEAs, implementing technical safety measures directly into the electronics design. Additionally, you can look forward to the following exciting tasks: Specifications & System Requirements: Define electronics specifications and interface documentation, actively contributing to global system requirements. Standards-Compliant Design (IEC 60601): Design circuits in compliance with DIN EN 60601-1 (electrical safety, isolation concepts, MOPP/MOOP, clearance and creepage distances) and DIN EN 60601-1-2 (EMC). Approval & CE Compliance: Prepare, execute, and document standards-relevant tests to support external CE certifications in accredited testing laboratories. Process & Interface Collaboration: Create technical documentation, oversee the transition of designs into volume production (DFM/DFT), and coordinate closely with adjacent technical disciplines. Mentoring: Conduct design reviews and support junior team members with your technical expertise.

Requirements

Successfully completed degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Medical Engineering, Mechatronics, Communications Engineering, or a comparable qualification.
At least 5–10 years of solid experience in independent hardware development.
Routine experience with common design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCAD, EAGLE, or OrCAD).
Routine experience with circuit simulation (e.g., SPICE).
Sound knowledge of analogue and digital circuit design—especially low-power design for battery-operated devices.
Strong practical experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, logic analysers, and electrical safety testing equipment.
Proficiency with the IEC 60601-1 / 60601-1-2 family of standards.
Understanding of ISO 14971 (risk management).
Familiarity with CE approval processes for medical devices.
Deep insight into EMC-compliant design, Design for Manufacturability/Testability (DFM/DFT), and obsolescence management.
Business-fluent German.
Excellent written and spoken English skills.
