About the Role:

We’re seeking a high-energy, motivated Electrical Engineer to join our client’s growing Supply Chain Engineering team in the Life Sciences sector. This is an onsite role requiring daily collaboration with cross-functional teams including Manufacturing, Quality, and R&D. The engineer will investigate non-conforming materials and part failures, working with prototype analog/digital circuits, schematic capture, and PCB layout. Responsibilities include defining electrical subsystem requirements and ensuring compliance with evolving global safety and regulatory standards.

In this role, the Electrical Engineer will work onsite daily, collaborating cross-functionally with teams such as Manufacturing, Quality, and R&D to investigate non-conforming materials and part failures. They’ll engage in hands-on work with prototype analog/digital circuits, schematic capture, and PCB layout, while defining subsystem requirements and ensuring compliance with evolving global safety and regulatory standards. The engineer will drive improvements in PCB yield and scrap reduction, troubleshoot high-failure components with suppliers, and manage component end-of-life replacements, including redesigns for manufacturability. They’ll lead and support technical projects using Six Sigma and FPx tools, contribute to supplier capacity planning, and participate in quality investigations and lifecycle design changes. The role also involves budget management, cross-functional coordination across global teams, and maintaining strong relationships with procurement, supplier quality, and operations partners to ensure continuity of supply and technical excellence.

Responsibilities:

• Drive product improvement initiatives for critical electrical/electronic designs in medical products
• This role involves exercising independent judgment to identify, recommend, and implement significant and complex electrical/electronic design enhancements that meet existing product and regulatory standards
• Will participate in technical reviews of electrical/electronic design updates in collaboration with cross-functional teams and develop networks across various departments
• Identify/qualify alternate electronic components based on market availability and ability to update designs if needed
• Identify causes of customer complaint trends, and manufacturing yield losses
• Update schematics, gerbers, assemblies, and design files
• Responsible for the development of electrical/electronic project plans and schedules covering engineering activities (Meeting all design control and process/product development SOP requirements)
• Works in the development of significant product specifications, design FMEAs, DOEs, and validation protocols
• Communicate effectively and participate on cross functional development teams
• Participate in technical reviews for electrical/electronic designs
• Ensures that electrical/electronic designs and test equipment meet all applicable standards
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and DMMs
• Comfort with soldering, hardware debugging, and basic firmware development for test and validation purposes
• Proven success in hardware bring-up, system integration, and multidisciplinary troubleshooting
