In this role, you will drive the definition, design, integration, and verification of complex mixed-signal electronics for active implantable cardiac devices and external patient systems. The individual will be an integral part of the R&D organization delivering innovative, life-saving technology of the highest quality to our patients. This position is flexible to the strengths of the candidate and may comprise one or both of: Technical Leadership: technical liaison to program management with dotted-line leadership of a team of electrical engineers Hardware Block Owner: ownership of critical functional blocks with responsibility for design refinement, integration, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and verification of each block or sub-system. You will help design, develop, and verify high-reliability, safety-critical electronics that directly impact patients' lives. The position is in Mounds View, MN (Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area). Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned. Technical Leadership: * Provide technical leadership on complex R&D programs. * Support design and architectural tradeoffs, technical risk management, and drive issue-resolution from concept to launch. * Lead and mentor a team of electrical engineers through design, integration, characterization/troubleshooting, and verification phases. * Act as technical liaison to program management and manufacturing while supporting the cross-functional development team(s) Hardware Block Owner: * Own key hardware blocks within the implantable or external system architecture including mixed-signal, analog, digital, RF, and/or PCB layout architecture and implementation designs. * Own hardware block requirements, design documentation, and verification strategy. * Perform detailed circuit analysis, simulation, characterization, and design margin assessment. * Lead root-cause investigations, debug complex hardware/firmware interactions, and propose robust design fixes and mitigations. * Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration and delivery of hardware solutions. Core Responsibilities (common to both tracks): * Develop, analyze, and evaluate new product circuitry, including ultra-low-power analog, mixed-signal, and digital electronics. * Integrate electronics with firmware, mechanical, and system-level requirements to deliver complete product solutions. * Lead technical design reviews and influence key engineering decisions across the development lifecycle. * Develop test plans, characterization methods, and verification strategies for new designs (bench, automated, and system-level). * Define production test requirements and collaborate with manufacturing engineering on PCB and device assembly. * Support global manufacturing sites with troubleshooting, test failure analysis, and product improvements. * Develop and validate test environments, including automation frameworks and emulators for product evaluation. * Decompose system requirements into implementable hardware requirements and ensure compliance with safety-critical and reliability standards. * Mentor junior engineers and influence best practices in design rigor, simulation methodology, and documentation. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [From Bedside Beeps to Interoperable Bytes – Getting your medical devices ready to talk the IEEE 11073 language](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/771-from-bedside-beeps-to-interoperable-bytes-getting-your-medical-devices-ready-to-talk-the-ieee-11073-language) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) ## Related Articles - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know)
