Electrical Engineer II (IVD)

/

Of immediate need to BioDyn is an Electrical Engineer II (IVD) to aid in the design, development, and testing of electrical systems in our novel bench-top and point-of-care instrumentation and provide technical input on the design and development of our core lab-on-a-chip platform.  The Electrical Engineer II will lead the electrical engineering efforts of the Product Development team and will play a vital role as a member of a dynamic team of engineers and scientists at the interface of microelectronics and molecular biology.

Responsibilities:

  • Performs electrical system design for benchtop and point-of-care medical instrumentation

  •   Utilizes 2D and 3D electrical computer-aided design (ECAD) and modeling

  •   Designs electrical system schematics and PCB layouts

  •   Performs PCB troubleshooting and root cause analysis down to component level

  • Prepares Gerber (or equivalent) files, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, BOM’s, and general documentation required for design transfer to fabrication and
    assembly

  • Determines DFM (design for manufacturability) and economic viability

  • Ensures product adherence to electrical performance, safety, and EMC standards

  • Solicits, analyzes, and documents engineering requirements

  • Maintains and updates requirements and design documentation throughout the entire system life cycle

  • Creates and maintains requirements’ traceability to ensure proper allocation of system requirements to subsystems

  • Drafts protocols for and conducts electrical system verification and validation testing

  • Liaises with certification testing partners for 61010 (safety) and 61326 (EMC) testing

  • Aids in biosensor design and development

  • Other duties as assigned

Education/Experience/Skills:

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or similar academic background; MS desired

  • Two (2) to five (5) years of hands-on design engineering experience in a biotech, medical device, or similar setting in a combination of the following:

o    Experience working in risk management (ISO 14971)

o    Experience working under design controls (21 CFR 820)

o    Experience working under a quality management system (ISO 13485 or similar)

o    Experience with low power designs, power management, current consumption optimization, and PWM drive stages

o    Experience with analog designs, simulation and implementation of passive/active filters, amplifiers, A/D converter operations, noise handling, sensors, transducers,
peripheral drivers

  • Experience with silicon wafer processing is a plus.

  • Extremely comfortable working in the lab with oscilloscopes, DMM’s, power supplies, and current probes

  • Working familiarity with state-of-the-art electronics design tools such as schematic capture (Altium, Orcad, Eagle, etc.), simulation (Spice, Comsol), as well as system /
    software tools

  • Results-driven, self-motivated, self-starter, motivated by difficult technical challenges, able to work independently and in teams

  • Demonstrates strong technical ability and creativity at a fundamental level
