Our customer, a global manufacturer of advanced medical devices is seeking a Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering (Sustaining/Product Engineering) who will build and lead the new Electrical Engineering functions at this location. This role will support in-market surgical products through complex, design-driven improvements, end-of-life (EOL) component changes, and manufacturing sustainment initiatives.
This is a high-visibility, hands-on leadership position requiring a rare blend of technical depth and people management skills. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in complex electronic system design, a strong command of PCB and FPGA technologies, and proven success developing teams within a fast-paced, regulated product environment.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Team Development
Build, mentor, and manage a growing team of electrical engineers (initially two direct reports, scaling to four or five).
Establish a strong technical and collaborative culture aligned with global standards.
Provide coaching, performance feedback, and career development support for engineers.
Product Sustaining & Engineering Ownership
Lead sustaining engineering efforts for existing surgical systems, including redesigns for EOL or obsolescence-driven changes.
Oversee verification and validation (V&V) for all electrical design modifications, ensuring compliance with FDA and ISO 13485 requirements.
Partner with manufacturing and quality to troubleshoot production issues and drive corrective actions.
Own documentation and traceability through the Design History File (DHF), including design input/output, risk analysis, and ECO approvals.
Technical Leadership
Act as on-site technical authority for complex electronic designs across digital, analog/power, and FPGA systems.
Review and approve PCB designs (typically 6+ layers; 10+ layers preferred) for signal integrity, power design, EMC compliance, and manufacturability.
Provide architectural guidance and system-level integration input for multi-disciplinary product improvements.
Lead or support root cause analysis, testing, and validation activities for field or production issues.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with Mechanical, Software, Manufacturing, and Quality Engineering teams to ensure efficient cross-functional alignment.
Coordinate with Electrical Engineering leaders at other locations to ensure consistency and alignment in design practices, standards, and processes across all sites.
Lead technical presentations and participate in formal design reviews.
Qualifications and Job Information
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required; Master’s (MSEE) preferred.
10+ years of experience in electronic design and development for complex products (medical device or high-reliability systems preferred).
5+ years of experience managing engineering teams or leading cross-functional project teams.
Strong proficiency in PCB design, signal integrity, and high-speed digital systems (GHz range desirable).
Solid understanding of analog/power electronics, including DC-DC, LDO, and EMI/EMC best practices.
Familiarity with FPGA logic design and verification (Verilog, ModelSim preferred).
Experience with schematic capture and layout tools; skilled in use of oscilloscopes and electronic lab equipment.
Working knowledge of C/C++, Python, and Matlab preferred.
Strong documentation discipline within regulated product environments.
Leadership & Competencies
Proven ability to lead through influence and resolve team conflicts constructively.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence in presenting to technical and non-technical audiences.
