Principal Electrical Engineer

Role Overview

• Serve as the electrical subject-matter expert for cardiac ablation platforms, including generators, energy delivery systems, sensing and monitoring circuits, and safety-critical subsystems.
• Define and review electrical architectures, requirements, and design strategies to support RF and pulsed field ablation technologies, ensuring robustness under clinical use conditions.
• Drive trade-off decisions balancing performance, safety, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and regulatory constraints.
• Lead or review detailed electrical design activities including high-voltage circuits, power electronics, sensing and monitoring circuits, isolation schemes, grounding strategies, and EMC-robust designs.
• Establish and execute verification and validation strategies, ensuring designs meet functional, safety, and reliability requirements across the product lifecycle.
• Provide expert input into design reviews, hazard analyses, and failure investigations involving electrical subsystems.
• Own or strongly influence risk management activities related to electrical hazards, energy delivery, insulation, leakage currents, fault detection, and patient return electrode monitoring.
• Apply Design for Reliability and Design for Safety principles to identify, reduce, and monitor technical risk in compliance with medical device standards and internal quality systems.
• Act as a design technical leader across released product engineering, manufacturing, supplier engineering, service, and quality teams.
• Support sustaining engineering activities including root-cause analysis of field issues, design changes, component obsolescence, and manufacturing process improvements.
• Interface with external suppliers and partners to ensure continuity of supply and technical alignment with system requirements.
• Mentor and technically develop junior and senior engineers, reinforcing best practices in electrical design, documentation, and problem solving.
• Influence engineering standards, design guidelines, and strategic technology roadmaps within CAS.
• Represent electrical engineering expertise in program reviews, technical escalations, and governance forums.
