• Ensure designs meet regulatory standards, including IEC 60601, FDA, and ISO 13485 requirements for safety, EMC, and risk management.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to power distribution, signal integrity, and control system performance.
• Maintain detailed records of design changes, test results, and compliance certifications for audit readiness.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, software developers, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies, materials, and methods relevant to medical device design.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and interns, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing environment.

Who are we looking for:

• You have a Bachelor’s or Master\’s in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or a similar field.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in electrical/electronics design, with a focus on medical devices or similar regulated industries.
• Proven track record of working with IEC 60601 standards and other medical device regulatory frameworks (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, ISO 14971).
• Proficient in CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, AutoCAD Electrical) for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Knowledge of I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, Ethernet or EtherCAT for system integration.
• Familiarity with power electronics, motor control, and signal conditioning circuits.
• Experience in designing and developing electrical/electronic systems for medical devices, particularly those classified as Class II or Class III.
• Experience preparing technical documentation for regulatory submissions, including FDA, EU MDR or similar.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects, from concept to production, in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with a keen attention to detail.
• You are focused, organised and have a drive to develop high-quality products.
• Innovator and interested in biomedical technology.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
