Senior R&D Engineer

Job Purpose:

As a Senior R&D Engineer, you will be responsible for providing electrical and electronic engineering support and expertise in the definition, design, development and test of medical device products with a particular emphasis on catheter-based ablative therapies such as Renal Denervation (RDN). 

This is a leading role in design and troubleshooting of mixed hardware/software systems associated with SUD devices, ensuring compliance with regulatory and safety standards, and contributes to innovation and intellectual property development, enabling safe, effective, and differentiated therapy delivery systems.

Key Resposponsibilities:

• Designs, develops, debugs, modifies, tests electrical circuits and systems for therapeutic ablation catheters and consoles, using current tools, analysis techniques, and technologies.
• Leads troubleshooting and root cause analysis of electronic test failures, driving solutions to component/system level.
• Develops, tests, and characterizes new catheter prototypes and console interfaces from concept through launch in cross-functional teams.
• Analyzes, evaluates, and verifies requirements, circuits, and systems using engineering practices; ensures integration of hardware, firmware, and physiological signal acquisition.
• Investigates, researches, and selects electronic circuits, components, tools, equipment, and practices for advanced ablative therapy devices.
• Documents electrical development through protocols, technical reports, memos, change requests, and design history files, per BSC quality system standards.
• Ensures compliance with medical device safety and EMC standards (e.g., IEC60601 series).
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians; provides technical leadership, feedback, and training to build high-performance teams.
• Translates high-level clinical requirements into robust engineering solutions and identifies opportunities for product innovation and intellectual property.
• Communicates technical updates at weekly team meetings, risks, and milestones to project leaders and senior stakeholders
• In all actions, demonstrates a primary commitment to patient safety and product quality by maintaining compliance to the Quality Policy and all other documented quality processes and procedures.
• Assures that appropriate resources (personnel, tools, etc.) are maintained to assure Quality System compliance and adherence to the BSC Quality Policy.

• Establishes and promotes a work environment that supports the Quality Policy and Quality System.

Education & Experience:

Required:

• Level 8 Honours Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering. 
• 5+ years of experience in medical devices or other highly regulated industries, preferably with catheter-based or implantable systems.
• Hands-on expertise in circuit/system design, system troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
• Proven experience with regulatory/safety standards (IEC60601 series, EMC).
• Strong communication, documentation, and project management skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with ablative modalities (RF, ultrasound, IVL, PFA).
• Familiarity with firmware debugging, digital logic, FPGA, and system integration.
• Data analysis (LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python) and automated test development.
• Experience in intellectual property development (patent drafting, disclosures).
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and lead cross-functional teams.
