Technical Responsibilities

• Design and develop electrical components and subsystems for medical devices.
• Design, develop and evaluate EM tracking systems, including field generators, sensor coils, signal acquisition circuits and positioning electronics.
• Define and execute test methods for system accuracy validation.
• Work with cross functional teams to integrate EM tracking into system architecture-firmware, software, and mechanical subsystems.
• Evaluate and mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and environmental distortion effects such as metallic objects and hospital equipment.
• Develop calibration strategies, test fixtures, and verification methods to ensure tracking accuracy and repeatability.
• Perform system level troubleshooting of EM tracking issues in lab and simulated clinical environments.
• Apply advanced circuit and electrical system test methods.
• Conduct or design prototyping and bench testing.
• Conduct problem solving, identify potential solutions, and evaluate them against component and system requirements.
• Conduct research and studies to support product design.
• Translate design inputs to engineering specifications and produce component and subsystem level designs.

Business Responsibilities

• Demonstrate advanced understanding of customer needs and design inputs.
• Demonstrate proficiency with product's intended use and clinical procedures.
• Learn how the financial models are constructed.

Med Device Compliance

• Follow industry standards, design requirements and test strategies applicable to regulatory requirements.
• Create or refine engineering documentation, such as Design History file.
• Follow R&D procedures like design controls and risk management, per the Quality Management System.
• Apply EMC/EMI standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1-2) to ensure compliance of EM-based systems.

General Responsibilities

• Work cooperatively with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing and Project Management to ensure project success.
• Quickly process and assimilate procedures, policies, processes, systems, and technology required.
• Work on complex problems, applying advanced experience and learnings.
• Demonstrate ownership and prioritize work with minimal supervision.
• Build relationships and influence among peers.

Minimum Qualifications (Required)

Preferred Qualifications (Strongly desired)

• Technical skills: Working knowledge of electrical design process, electrical components, and manufacturing methods.
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic field theory and its application to sensing and tracking systems.
• Ability to interpret, analyze, and test electrical designs.
• Proficiency with design and concept generation CAD, CAE, or simulation tools.
• Ability to apply analysis tools and statistical methods.
• Knowledge of system components and associated requirements.
• Understanding of the system lifecycle and effects of design choices on the system.
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS HFSS, MATLAB).

Travel

10% travel expected.

Work Flexibility

Remote - Role allows you to work the majority to 100% of time from an alternate workplace.

Field-based - Regularly work a majority to 100% of time at customer facilities, with a set territory and expected travel within a set boundary.

Onsite - Role is 100% located at a Stryker facility; some ad hoc flexibility may be available.

Hybrid - Work in both an alternate workplace and a Stryker facility; the expectation to be onsite is defined by your manager/supervisor.
