About the position

The Senior EE Design Readiness Engineer will play a crucial role in the R&D organization, contributing to the development of a next-generation robotic platform aimed at transforming healthcare. This position involves transitioning electrical assemblies and components from prototype stages to verification and clinical builds, requiring close collaboration with manufacturing engineering. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in developing, building, and testing complex electro-mechanical medical devices, with a strong focus on design transfer and process validation within a regulated environment.

Responsibilities

• Being a key team member working on design readiness of the electrical aspects of a robotic system
• Support development of assembly and test/screening processes for electrical assemblies and components
• Support identification of, specification creation for, development and characterization of in-line test and build fixtures for electrical assemblies and components
• Support development and maintenance of the BOM and DMR
• Support troubleshooting and root cause investigations of electromechanical subsystems using excellent methodologies and thoroughly documenting the analyses
• Specify electrical, firmware and software development requirements for test and build fixtures
• Author relevant documents such as build process, assembly instructions, inspection procedures, test protocols, test reports, analyses, and system documentation
• Support a variety of multi-disciplinary technical and process improvement projects of different sizes and scopes
• Analyze, test, and recommend refinements for DFx such as reliability, testability, and manufacturability
• Support creation of DHF and release of documentation to quality system
• Manage and communicate assigned projects in collaboration with cross-functional teams
