We are seeking a
Senior Electrical Engineer
to join our
Instrumentation NPI and Sustaining Engineering team , supporting the design, transition to manufacturing, and lifecycle management of our current and next-generation platforms.
As a
Senior Electrical Engineer , you will lead and contribute to the development, improvement, and support of electrical systems across our product lines. Your primary focus will be on
New Product Introduction (NPI)
- bridging the gap between R&D and manufacturing - and on
sustaining engineering
to ensure high product quality, manufacturability, and reliability throughout the product lifecycle. You will work in close collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable, and compliant instrument solutions.
What You Will Be Doing
Lead and execute electrical design and development efforts for NPI and sustaining engineering projects across complex instrumentation platforms.
Drive the transition of products from development to manufacturing, ensuring design robustness, manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and scalability.
Lead root cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvements for electrical issues arising in production or in-field systems.
Own and develop system and subsystem electrical architectures to meet performance, cost, and regulatory requirements.
Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, software, system, microfluidics, and quality teams to solve complex, cross-disciplinary engineering challenges.
Conduct board-level analog/digital circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB layout reviews using CAD tools (Altium preferred).
Apply strong knowledge of signal integrity, grounding, power management, and EMI/ESD mitigation.
Lead and support design verification and validation, compliance testing (FCC, CE, UL, CSA), and reliability testing.
Interact with external partners and contract manufacturers to align on electrical design, test strategies, and manufacturing processes.
Lead and support ICT and FCT test development with external partners and contract manufacturers.
Participate in and drive design reviews, risk assessments (FMEA), and design documentation per design control processes.
Support instrument assembly process development, test development and root cause analysis.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
8+ years of hands-on experience in electrical engineering, including board-level design for complex electro-mechanical systems.
Proven track record of supporting both new product development and sustaining engineering in a regulated environment (medical, biotech, or life sciences preferred).
Proficiency with embedded systems, including microprocessors, memory interfaces, USB, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.
Strong experience with PCB bring-up, debugging, and rework, including use of lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, etc.).
Experience conducting DFM, DFA, and DFT reviews and working with contract manufacturers and suppliers.
Familiarity with regulatory standards and certifications: FCC, UL, CE, ISO, and safety/reliability requirements.
Experience with test automation software like LabVIEW, Python, and FunTEST.
Preferred Skills & Experience
Experience in NPI environments, including pilot builds, production ramp, and ECO processes.
Strong understanding of embedded firmware/hardware interaction; coding experience is a plus.
Experience with a wide range of sensors (optical, thermal, pressure, flow, position).
Deep understanding of compliance engineering, including EMC, ESD, safety, and environmental testing.
Proficiency in Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD tools.
Experience supporting cross-functional design
