• Develop, execute, and document electrical and system-level verification tests for complex electromechanical medical devices, including normal operating conditions, boundary conditions, and fault scenarios.
• Perform hands-on electrical testing and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment to evaluate circuit and system behavior.
• Interpret electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and technical documentation to understand hardware functionality, identify potential issues, and support testing activities.
• Investigate electrical and electromechanical system failures, perform root-cause analysis, and collaborate with design engineers to identify and implement solutions.
• Develop and improve test methods, procedures, fixtures, and laboratory setups to support product verification and development activities.
• Support testing of embedded hardware and electronic control systems involving microcontrollers, sensors, motors, actuators, power electronics, and related components.
• Collaborate with electrical, software, mechanical, systems, and quality engineering teams to support design verification, product improvements, and resolution of technical issues.
• Contribute to laboratory test automation and equipment improvements, including opportunities to automate testing of capital equipment and electromechanical systems.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, including test protocols, results, technical reports, and verification records in accordance with applicable quality and regulatory requirements.
• Independently manage assigned engineering deliverables, communicate technical findings, and contribute to problem-solving across teams and geographic locations.
• Participate in technical reviews and support engineering design activities as needed.

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or other related engineering discipline is required.
• 2 or more years of experience is required. Experience working with products within regulated or safety-critical industries highly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with electrical testing, hardware troubleshooting, and verification of electronic or electromechanical systems.
• Experience reading electrical schematics and using laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
• Familiarity with embedded hardware, microcontrollers, sensors, motors, or electronic control systems.
• Experience developing or executing engineering test procedures, test fixtures, or verification protocols.
• Basic programming or scripting knowledge, or exposure to laboratory test automation.
• Demonstrated experience owning engineering deliverables, independently solving technical problems, and collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.
