Embedded Hardware Engineer (Medical Devices)

Role & responsibilities

• Lead schematic, PCB layout reviews and BOM ownership for low-power, battery-operated Class II devices using STM32 MCUs, sensors and actuator drivers; drive DfX (DfM/DfT/DfA).
• Design robust power architecture (Lithium-ion battery, charging, fuel gauge, buck/boost rails) and implement protections, measurement and low power strategies.
• Own board bring-up, functional test jigs and production test plans; collaborate with Firmware on diagnostics and calibration.
• Engineer for EMC/EMI and safety from day one: return path control, filtering, shielding, creepage/clearance; plan pre-compliance for IEC 606011/12 and CISPR 11; address ESD/transients.
• Implement safety/diagnostic circuitry (e.g., watchdog, current/thermal limits, sensor redundancy/fault detection) aligned with risk controls (ISO 14971).
• Manage fab/assembly vendors: Gerbers, fabrication notes, stackup, panelisation, DFM feedback, FAI/PPAP-like qualification, ECOs and component LTB/alternate planning.
• Maintain complete design control documentation (schematics, layouts, calculations, verification reports) and support regulatory/lab testing.
• Work with Mechanical on packaging, connectors, flex assemblies and thermal considerations.

Preferred candidate profile

• Bachelor's/Master's in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of experience designing mixed signal embedded hardware; proficiency with KiCad or Altium, and SPICE level simulation.
• Strong fundamentals in analogue/frontend design, sensor interfacing, motor/actuator drivers and power electronics for wearables.
• Hands-on skill with oscilloscopes, analysers and bench debug; ability to read and critique layouts for EMC/DFM.
• Working knowledge of ISO 13485 (design controls), IEC 606011/12, ISO 14971; familiarity with IEC 62304 interfaces and IEC 623661 is a plus; awareness of IEC 62133 for rechargeable cells.
