The Electrical Engineer I is a Hybrid position located in Andover, Massachusetts.   

This position will be responsible for the design, implementation, and test or the support of such efforts for electronic circuits for acute care patient monitoring applications. The performance of these hardware elements shall be in compliance with the product requirements specification and the product quality standards. Additional responsibilities are to support clinical engineers, quality engineers, manufacturing, and test personnel through the development of new and existing products.

• Participate in the translation of technical system requirements for new (or existing) patient monitoring products into relevant sub-system architectures and high level designs. Support the documentation of the sub-system architecture and support trade studies with the product development group.
• Implement the sub-system level architecture in the form of circuit designs which are responsive to the sub-system level requirements including product cost targets. Responsible for schematic capture, circuit simulations, and PCB layout. Document the design fully in the form of a hardware design theory of operation document including a programmer’s reference guide for software developers (if applicable).
• Participates in detailed design reviews of the hardware design in accordance with SOPs.
