Highlights
- Own the electrical architecture of a medical scanner as in-house lead.
- Drive high-throughput ultrasound data acquisition and synchronization.
- Establish design rigor for a regulated medical device program.
Ideal candidate
A hands-on electrical leader who thrives owning complex hardware end-to-end and setting the technical bar for a lean team. You care about rigor, clear documentation, and building medical-grade systems from scratch.
Requirements
- Deep experience designing complex boards from blank page to stable revision, including high-speed digital and analog/mixed-signal domains.
- Strong schematic and layout skills (Altium/KiCad or equivalent) with signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC instincts.
- Solid embedded firmware background in C/C++ (and Python for tooling): peripherals, DMA, interrupts, real-time constraints, and debugging on hardware.
- Practical HDL experience (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) for data acquisition, timing, and streaming interfaces.
- Track record of owning bring-up and debug on real hardware: scopes, logic analyzers, and disciplined root-cause analysis.
- Technical leadership: clear trade-offs, strong written documentation, and the ability to set the electrical bar for a lean, fast-moving team.
