Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Description

**JOB DESCRIPTION**

Electrical Engineer 3 to join our team in Bothell, WA. This is a fully onsite, individual contributor role reporting directly to the Engineering Manager. This is a business-critical hire: our Director of Technology (senior EE) is fully focused on developing our next-generation neuromodulation ultrasound technology, and this role will take on day-to-day electrical engineering ownership. You will drive PCB/PCBA design end-to-end, grow into engineering change order (ECO) sign-off, mentor 1--2 junior electrical engineers, and become strong enough to backfill for the team's senior EE. Success in this role means becoming a trusted, independent owner of our electrical engineering function within 12 months.

**ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS**

* **Design \& Development:**Own PCB/PCBA design end-to-end schematic capture and layout (Altium preferred), prototype bring-up, and design reviews for ultrasonic transducer and drive system electronics.
* **Production Oversight:**Oversee production of outsourced PCBs and work with manufacturing partners and vendors on builds and issue resolution.
* **Testing \& Characterization:**Develop test fixtures and bench methods for hardware characterization, using impedance/network analyzers and high-power measurement equipment.
* **Troubleshooting:**Debug prototype and production hardware at both the board and system level, driving root cause analysis.
* **Quality \& Documentation:**Maintain strong fluency with quality systems, ECOs, BOMs, travelers, and work instructions and grow into ECO sign-off authority as the company advances toward ISO 13485 certification.
* **Mentorship:**Mentor 1--2 junior electrical engineers (non-managerial) and work hand-in-hand with the Director of Technology, absorbing EE development work from his plate.
* **Cable \& Harness Design:**Design cable and wire harnesses as needed to support system-level builds.
* **Confidentiality:**Maintain confidentiality of R\&D efforts. Other duties as assigned.

**REQUIREMENTS**

* **Experience:**7--10 years of professional electrical engineering experience.
* **Technical Skills:**Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB (non-negotiable); strong PCB/PCBA design skills; cable/wire harness design experience; analog and mixed-signal debugging; bench bring-up and root cause troubleshooting.
* **Quality \& Regulatory:**Hands-on experience with quality documentation (ECOs, BOMs, travelers, work instructions); familiarity with IEC 60601-1 is a plus given the company's move toward ISO 13485; comfort working in regulated environments (ISO 9001 preferred exposure).
* **Ownership \& Communication:**Demonstrated initiative and ownership; someone who drives projects forward rather than waiting to be told what to do; strong interpersonal and communication skills; a collaborative, patient style suited to mentoring and working closely with a tight-knit technical team.
* **Preferred:**Exposure to ultrasound technology or medical device hardware; adjacent technical fields (e.g., laser/optics) with a strong physics foundation are also a great fit.

**EDUCATION**

* **Bachelor's Degree:**Required (Electrical Engineering strongly preferred; Computer Engineering or Physics acceptable).
* **Master's Degree:**Preferred, though it does not need to be in EE; Physics, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering are all welcome.
* **Academic Performance:**A strong academic record (high GPA) is strongly valued.

**TECH STACK / SYSTEMS**

* Altium preferred for schematic capture and PCB layout
* Impedance and network analyzers, plus high-power measurement equipment
* FPGA/HDL design and verification a plus
* Embedded systems/firmware integration experience a plus

**COMPENSATION PACKAGE**

* Base Salary: $135,000 -- $165,000, with flexibility to negotiate above for exceptional candidates.

**WORKING CONDITIONS**

* Model: Fully onsite in Bothell, WA.
* Hours: Core hours are 9:00 AM -- 3:00 PM, with flexibility.
* Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future employer sponsorship.

**BENEFITS**

* Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, and vision) because we believe "Bring the Good Energy" means supporting your health and energy.
* Fitness reimbursement: Up to $600 annually for gym memberships.
* 401(k) plan with company match and retirement planning resources, helping you build long-term value and stability.
* Generous paid time off (vacation, personal days, sick leave) to support work-life balance and collaboration.
* Professional development allowance and certification support (e.g., Six Sigma, ASQ CQE) because we "Collaborate to Elevate" and want you to grow.
