In addition to technical design responsibilities, the Sr. Hardware/Firmware Engineer will document and verify all hardware and firmware designs in compliance with medical device development standards. This documentation is crucial for regulatory compliance and will involve collaboration with various departments, including Research and Development (R&D), technical support, field service, and manufacturing.

The ideal candidate will have experience in analog and digital circuit design, including familiarity with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth. Proficiency in programming languages such as C, C++, and Verilog is essential, as is experience in developing embedded firmware for ARM microprocessors or equivalent. Knowledge of medical design documentation, including requirement/design specifications, risk analysis, and verification protocols/reports, is also required. The candidate should have experience in transferring new designs to production, including the development of test fixtures and procedures, and should be familiar with medical device regulatory compliance testing activities, particularly in a regulated ISO 13485 environment. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field is required for this position.
