Symmetrio is recruiting for a hybrid Senior Electrical Engineer on behalf of our customer, a leading manufacturer of specialized medical equipment and quality assurance systems used to support the testing, measurement, and performance verification of medical equipment.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on Electrical Engineer with strong FPGA/digital design experience, solid analog electronics skills, and experience designing low-noise, low-leakage precision measurement circuits in a regulated industry.

This is a hybrid position based in Melbourne, FL. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop microcontroller and FPGA architectures for medical measurement and control systems.
• Develop and verify FPGA designs using Verilog/VHDL for real-time signal processing and timing-critical applications.
• Design and troubleshoot low-noise, low-leakage analog signal conditioning circuits, including femtoampere-range measurement systems.
• Define system requirements, functional specifications, and verification/acceptance criteria; participate in design reviews and design control activities.
• Own electrical design documentation, including schematics, PCB layout specifications, design specifications, and technical procedures.
• Analyze and optimize noise, leakage, signal integrity, and overall circuit performance.
• Support verification, validation, manufacturing troubleshooting, and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) activities.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and other engineering teams to bring designs from concept through production.
• Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical subject matter expert (SME) on complex electrical design and troubleshooting challenges.
• Ensure designs meet applicable medical-device regulatory and quality requirements, including IEC 60601, design controls, and traceability.
• Maintain comprehensive engineering documentation and design records throughout the product development lifecycle.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent discipline 

• 8–10+ years in electrical design and analysis with hands-on circuit design experience 

• Exceptional technical proficiency in digital design: microcontroller architecture, FPGA design (Verilog/VHDL), embedded systems 

• Strong experience in medical device product development (product lifecycle, design controls, FDA/IEC 60601) 

• Proficiency in DFM, FMEA, failure analysis, and reliability testing principles 

• Experience with design requirement flow-down, acceptance criteria, and design verification/validation 

• Self-directed, independent contributor; able to drive complex designs without heavy supervision 

• Proven ability to mentor and troubleshoot with junior engineers 

• Strong technical documentation skills; background in regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, automotive preferred) 

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
