As an Electronics Engineer for an international manufacture of medical devices and connected systems you will be a part of the product development and engineering department, reporting to an R&D Director. Products are electro-mechanical connected systems and devices. The Electronics Engineer R&D will have an opportunity to contribute to product development and sustaining engineering activities associated with surgical devices and instruments across the portfolio.

The Electronics Engineer R&D will work on engineering projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and implement solutions whist ensuring the successful execution of engineering tasks and projects to tight time scales. This opportunity offers the chance to be part of research and development work streams for simple disposable devices through complex systems, instruments and sophisticated robotic solutions involving IT connectivity, machine learning and AI.

Role:

• Design and develop components and assemblies
• Lead development of electrical circuit schematics for complex electromechanical systems
• Analyse and simulate design to understand key parameters and sensitivities
• Establish design feasibility by testing circuits demonstrating statistical capability for critical functions
• Design and de-bug electrical systems which comply to but not limited to 60601 EMC and Safety requirements
• Define design inputs (ie, product requirements), develop design outputs (ie, product specifications)
• The Electronics Engineer R&D will define technical strategies for adequate V&V approach and testing
• Ideate, conceptualize, and build concepts and prototypes to aid incubation of new opportunities or down-select winning solutions for new product developments, upgrades, or improvements
• Create simulation and mathematical models as appropriate
• Participate in troubleshooting, root-cause analysis and devise solutions and approaches for solving technical problems and overcome development challenges
• Develop test methods and fixtures for products, components, and systems simulation, evaluation, and verification testing including creating formal Verification test protocols, run tests, and write verification test reports
• Communicate key technical content to parties within and outside of own function
• The Electronics Engineer R&D will deliver agreed project outcomes on-time and on-budget per project plan
• Report to Project lead on assigned tasks, ensuring early escalation and identification of project risks
• Participate in design review and DFMA activities
• Aid in effective cross-functional collaboration ensuring delivery of target business outcomes
• Contribute to the assessment of new opportunities, acquisition targets, competitive products, and Intellectual Properties (IP's)
• Support scoping, project planning and product requirement definition for new product development, upgrades, or line extensions
• Contribute to the selection, evaluation, and implementation of new tools, techniques, and best practices
• The Electronics Engineer R&D will maintain technical documentation for project and products as per company quality standards (eg ISO 13485 etc.) and engineering best practices

Skills:

• Electronic design and creation of engineering drawings (ideally with Altium etc.)
• Medical device development experience or exposure to a highly regulated industry
• Proficiency with engineering first principles and analytical methods including simulation modelling
• Understand Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
• Understand Statistical methods including design of experiments
• Proficiency with developing firmware from initial stage
• Building, fixing, servicing and/or fabricating concepts, fixtures, prototypes
• Drafting testing protocols and reports

Qualifications:

• Ideally degree level education or equivalent practical expertise in relevant subject
• Development of medical devices or in highly regulated products in industry (eg Aviation, Defence, Nuclear or Automotive etc.)
