Electrical Engineer (18-month fixed-term contract)

About the role

The Electrical Engineer II in the Product Lifecycle Engineering (PLE) team supports released obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) products by investigating electrical and electronic issues, maintaining hardware design integrity and implementing controlled changes throughout the product lifecycle. The role works closely with Systems, Mechanical, Software/Firmware, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory and supplier stakeholders to maintain product safety, performance, reliability, compliance and continuity of supply.

Key responsibilities

• Investigate electrical and electronic issues found through manufacturing, suppliers, service or field performance, collect technical evidence, run structured root-cause analysis and recommend corrective actions.
• Analyse hardware performance and failure mechanisms using schematics, PCB layouts, component specifications, circuit analysis, lab measurements and field or production data.
• Develop and document sustaining solutions such as component substitutions, design corrections, obsolescence mitigations and reliability improvements.
• Assess electrical design changes for impacts on system operation, interfaces, power, EMC, safety, reliability and manufacturability.
• Define verification scope and acceptance criteria, plan and coordinate bench testing and design verification, and document objective evidence.
• Contribute to design risk assessments and investigations of potential product safety or performance issues.
• Prepare technical deliverables such as investigation reports, schematics, bills of materials, component assessments and engineering change records.
• Support engineering change control with Manufacturing, Procurement, suppliers and Quality, and take part in cross-functional reviews.
• Manage moderately complex sustaining activities independently and escalate unresolved or high-risk decisions to the technical lead.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 6 years of relevant electrical/electronics engineering experience, including product design, verification, hardware troubleshooting or sustaining engineering.
• Sound knowledge of analogue and digital circuits, electronic components, PCB design principles, measurement techniques and hardware troubleshooting.
• Ability to interpret schematics, PCB layouts, datasheets and test specifications, with proficiency in engineering and laboratory tools.
• Experience with structured problem-solving and root-cause analysis, and with evaluating design changes and planning or running design verification.
• Familiarity with design controls, engineering change management and risk-based engineering, and working knowledge of medical device quality and safety requirements.
• Strong analytical, communication and collaboration skills, able to deliver technical work with limited day-to-day supervision.

Preferred

• Sustaining experience for released medical devices, especially OSA, respiratory-care or connected electromechanical products.
• PCB CAD tools such as Altium, electronic simulation, diagnostic equipment and automated electrical testing.
• Component obsolescence, alternative-part qualification and supplier/manufacturing change implementation.
• Data analysis, automation or AI-enabled engineering tools.
