Full description
Nanobiosym is an innovative, high-tech company that is developing novel technologies at the nexus of physics, nanotechnology, and biomedicine. Founded by MIT/Harvard alum and located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Nanobiosym was awarded the first X-Prize to be given for healthcare.
Position Overview:
We are growing our engineering team and looking for a driven, detail-oriented Senior Electrical Design Engineer to take ownership of complex hardware programs from concept through volume production. This is a hands-on technical leadership position for someone who thrives at the intersection of rigorous circuit design, DFM, and embedded systems - and who wants to see their work shipped in real-world, regulated products.
Key Responsibilities:
• Drive the complete hardware development lifecycle - from architecture and specification through schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, validation, and handoff to manufacturing.
• Lead PCB design initiatives, ensuring layouts are performant, scalable, and optimized for high-volume production.
• Review and finalize routing and layout concepts, defining the electrical scope for each product.
• Translate early-stage design concepts into production-ready circuit solutions.
• Design and integrate systems built around MPUs, memory, and FPGAs, working closely with embedded software teams on low-level driver requirements.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to define, iterate on, and validate hardware and firmware requirements.
• Realize compact, constraint-driven single-board control systems.
• Produce and maintain rigorous documentation: design requirements, component selection rationale, engineering calculations, power budgets, and thermal analyses.
• Design and build test fixtures to support hardware validation and functional verification.
• Actively contribute to regulatory and quality processes, with particular emphasis on FDA and ISO 13485 requirements.
Required Qualifications:
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 5-10+ years of hands-on product development experience in electrical engineering roles.
• 5+ years of proficiency with Altium Designer, Autodesk Eagle, or equivalent PCB CAD platforms.
• Demonstrated experience navigating compliance requirements in regulated industries (FDA, ISO 13485, or equivalent).
• A clear record of taking PCBs from first prototype through DFM review and into volume manufacturing.
• Strong embedded hardware skills, including C and Assembly for low-level system development.
Preferred skills:
• Verilog / FPGA / ASIC, LabVIEW (3-5 yrs)
• Java
• NI CLD or CLA certification
• Medical device launch experience
• PhD or MS/ME in EECS
Preferred Qualifications:
• PhD or MS/ME in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• National Instruments certification (CLD or CLA) and hands-on LabVIEW development in automated test environments.
• End-to-end experience bringing a medical device or similarly regulated hardware product to market.
• Working knowledge of Verilog, FPGA, or ASIC design flows.
