(ANSI 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-33, and ISO 10993-5/10).
An applicant must have:
• The ability to analyze circuits from schematics and understand the design relationship between
schematic and printed circuit board (PCB).
• Strong understanding of the fundamental principles of electromagnetic fields and/or antennas,
including transmission line theory. Knowledge of EM behavior at RF (radio frequency) is a plus.
• Understanding of electronics and electronics design at a component level.
• Familiarity with circuit board design software and electromagnetic simulation software
• Experience with computation software such as MATLAB, MathWorks, Python, etc.
• Familiarity with RF lab equipment (oscilloscope, power supply, network analyzer, noise figure
meter operation).
Preference will be given to candidates with the following:
• Familiarity with flexible PCB design.
• Substantial experience with general PCB design tools and methods.
• Experience in the design and development of RF circuits for medical devices. MR-specific RF
design is preferred, but not required.
• Electro-mechanical design experience, especially design for anatomical compliance or related
human factors.
• Wireless design experience.
• Quality Management systems that are 21 CFR PART 820 compliant.
• Experience in highly regulated design environments, with emphasis on FDA.
Qualifications:
• BS or greater in electrical engineering or related discipline. Master’s degree strongly
preferred.
• The ability to work majority on-site.
• Demonstrated ability to execute design tasks in a team environment.
• Eligibility to work in the U.S.
