Job Description:

We are seeking a highly experienced and technically driven Principal Electrical Engineer to drive the electrical design and development of next-generation closed-loop active implantable medical devices for neuromodulation applications. This individual will be a key contributor to the architecture, design, verification, and commercialization of Class III implantable systems that integrate sensing, stimulation, telemetry, and power management functions.

Job Responsibility:

Develop circuit-level designs for ultra-low-power analog front ends, stimulation drivers, power management, and telemetry interfaces
Define and maintain electrical requirements, design specifications, and interface documents
Lead the design of production test equipment and processes
Perform schematic capture, circuit simulation, component selection, and PCB layout guidance for implantable and external system electronics
Collaborate with firmware and algorithm teams to enable closed-loop control of stimulation based on sensed physiological signals
Drive prototype development, bench testing, and design characterization for implantable hardware
Provide technical leadership to multidisciplinary design teams and mentor junior engineers
Champion design best practices, design for reliability (DfR), and design for manufacturability (DfM)
Driving verification and validation (V&V) activities, including unit, integration, and system-level testing to ensure reliability and traceability
Lead design verification testing (DVT) and verification planning to ensure compliance with medical device standards and safety requirements
Ensure designs meet relevant standards (e.g., IEC 60601, ISO 14708, ISO 14971, EMI/EMC compliance)
Interface with systems engineering, software, mechanical design, and clinical science teams to define and optimize system performance
Collaborate with regulatory and quality teams to ensure successful design history file (DHF) documentation and submission readiness
Engage with manufacturing partners to define testing, suppliers, and process definition

Requirements:

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field
10+ years of experience in electrical design for active implantable medical devices (AIMDs), such as neurostimulators, pacemakers, or cochlear implants
Proven track record designing low-noise analog front ends, stimulation circuits, power management, and wireless telemetry (RF and inductive coupling)
Deep knowledge of implant power and safety considerations
Familiarity with closed-loop control systems and physiological signal acquisition
Experience operating within a quality system supporting Class III systems
Proficient in analog/digital mixed-signal design tools (e.g., SPICE, Altium, Cadence)
Strong understanding of embedded systems interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART)
Experience with simulation, modeling, and reliability analysis (Monte Carlo, tolerance analysis)
Knowledge of relevant standards: ISO 14708, IEC 60601, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, FDA Class III design controls

Nice to have:

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field
Experience with neuromodulation systems (DBS, SCS, PNS, or VNS)
Experience developing ultra-low-power implantable ASICs or collaborating with ASIC vendors
Familiarity with sensor fusion, adaptive stimulation algorithms, and machine learning in closed-loop control
Prior experience leading design reviews, FMEA sessions, and regulatory audits
Understanding of active implantable device standards
A history of successful implanted device designs
Deep knowledge of manufacturing processes utilized in implanted systems
An understanding of statistical test methods
A track record of Intellectual Property generation
