DEKA Research & Development, located in Manchester, NH, has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Electrical Engineer to work in an up-tempo R&D environment. Playing a key role on our project teams, you will work alongside a group of passionate engineers to imagine and create innovative solutions that improve lives around the world. Many products that DEKA develops are medical devices regulated by the FDA.

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer for a state-of-the-art medical device product development program. This person will be responsible for the concept, development, and production-related activities of embedded electrical circuit designs within a multi-disciplinary project team. The candidate should be familiar with a broad range of electrical engineering design concepts from low-level analog to high-speed digital circuitry. This position requires a fair amount of autonomy and clever thinking as our projects involve inventing new and better ways of solving the many engineering challenges that projects are confronted with.

How you will make an impact as a Senior Electrical Engineer:

  • Design and develop circuit boards containing a mix of analog and digital circuitry through the creation of schematics, management of the PCB layout, and DFx activities
  • Perform testing, debug, and failure analysis of circuitry as well as the creation of test fixtures to aid in both the development and production of circuit boards
  • Create clear and concise documentation including block diagrams, electrical requirements, design descriptions, test procedures, and failure analysis procedures
  • Develop and design new prototype devices using originality and ingenuity
  • Decompose system requirements to derive electrical specifications and architectures
  • Apply experience with electronic design techniques and integration to solve complex problems
  • Work in a team environment with mechanical, controls, systems, software, and test engineers to facilitate rapid development cycles
  • Understand and follow DEKA processes, design control practices, and documentation requirements
  • Manage external design partners and suppliers
  • Manage your time effectively across multiple assignments of varying scope and complexity
  • Provide subject matter expertise and cross-functional contribution across the company

To be successful in this role as a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will need the following skills and experience:

  • BS in Electrical Engineering required
  • Must have a minimum of 5 years of experience in the development of complex electro-mechanical devices
  • Demonstrated experience in development of electrical circuit board schematics and PCB layouts (Altium preferred)
  • Demonstrated electrical design experience from concept through production
  • Experience working in multi-disciplinary engineering teams to solve complex problems through iterative system design, integration, and test
  • Must be skilled in writing and working with specifications and detailed design documents
  • Proficient in debugging circuitry through hands-on testing, analysis and analog/digital simulation, including the use of common electrical test equipment (DMMs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, waveform generators, etc.)
  • Experience in development, characterization, and analysis of novel sensor designs
  • Solid grasp of signal integrity, signal timing, power consumption, and design for ESD and EMC compliance
  • Experience with RF design and test practices a plus
  • Must be able to set priorities and work independently under aggressive timelines and date-driven schedules
  • Knowledge of analytical computing software (MATLAB, Python, Labview, etc.) for measurement automation and data analysis
  • Experience with embedded software development in C/C++ for common microcontroller platforms (ARM, PIC, AVR, etc.) a strong plus
  • Familiarity with electrical safety and medical device product design standards and practices (IEC 60601-1, ISO 13485, and other applicable standards) a plus
  • Effective written and verbal communication

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
