InnoTECH Staffing is looking to hire a Principal Biomedical Engineer for a well funded late stage medical device start-up in Waltham, MA.The Principal Engineer leads and provides expertise in the development, characterization and testing of control software and hardware in medical devices. They develop complex hardware and systems that include high-voltage and pneumatic controls, motor control, sensors and pump drivers, plasma generation, optimize hardware and system performance, and troubleshoot hardware and system issues. They develop software/firmware algorithms that optimize the therapy delivery, Nitric oxide generation, and pneumatic control for overall hardware and system operation. They formulate rational, data-driven decisions while designing software algorithms and complex electromechanical systems that meet medical product requirements. Develop and validate test methods that ensure compliance with requirements.Responsibilities:
  • Architect electrical subsystems for Nitric oxide generation, gas delivery control, and safety control.
  • Develop analog and digital circuits for a complex system that generates nitric oxide gas, controls gas delivery, includes high voltage generation, current sensors, pneumatic control, environmental sensors, and gas delivery mechanisms
  • Generates and implements software/firmware algorithms in C language including PID control loops for embedded software control and monitoring of complex systems, therapy delivery control, Nitric Oxide generation, and pneumatics
  • Utilizes technical expertise to contribute to the development of system architectures for respiratory devices. Uses modeling, hardware-in-the-loop simulation and actual devices to develop, debug and test complex systems to meet required performance
  • Develops and models complex cross-functional systems
  • Performs advanced risk analyses using FMEA and fault tree methods. Works with other engineering disciplines to develop, implement, and verify system solutions
  • Evaluates product performance on an on-going basis and initiates and evaluates required changes to the design to improve and optimize performance
  • Interfaces with internal and external clinicians, physicians and thought leaders to create innovative products and features
  • Ensures adherence to company quality system, product specifications, industry standards, and quality and regulatory procedures and requirements
  • Maintains accurate documentation of concepts, designs, drawings, and processes through lab notebooks or other methods
Requirements:
  • Master's degree in electrical or computer engineering or related specialization, and 10+ years of related experience
  • Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, tuning and analyzing high accuracy, multi-sensor control circuits and systems, including high-performance PID feedback and open-loop controls
  • Experience implementing software/firmware control algorithms in C language on embedded, real-time systems
  • Experience with digital and analog electrical circuits
  • Proven ability to engage effectively in risk analysis including FMEA
  • Demonstrated strength in judgment, decision making, and critical thinking
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Demonstrated strength in building relationships at all levels of an organization
Preferred Experience:
  • PhD. in Electrical or computer engineering or related specialization
  • Experience in software-based electromechanical medical device development
  • Experience with statistical process control
  • Experience with pneumatic systems and related components, particularly flow controllers
  • Experience with ventilators and/or respiratory applications
  • Experience with Python, Jupyter, and data acquisition systems
  • Experience performing design of experiments
  • ISO 14971, IEC 60601, IEC 62304.
  • Well-versed in medical product R&D and clinical/regulatory process
Compensation includes base salary, bonus, equity and of course full medical benefits!
This position requires working in the lab onsite in Waltham, MA 5 days a week.
