Job Detail

The Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering is seeking a Wireless Systems Electrical Engineer to join their growing, international team of scientists, clinicians and engineers. 
  

Description du poste

The individual will work both independently and collaboratively  as a member of the Wyss Center to develop advanced wearable and implantable neuro-sensing and neuromodulation devices that are designed to collect real-time neural signals, transmit multichannel recordings and provide closed loop control signals for a range of human applications. The individual will report to a tech leader in the Electrical Engineering team.

In his/her position, the Wireless Systems Electrical Engineer will:

• Research, develop and implement the electrical design for wireless power and data transfer systems; from requirements to manufacturing, ready for clinical deployment


• Design RF communication systems based either on standards and/or proprietary protocols, optimized for neurotechnology applications where form-factor and energy restrictions are prevalent and performance is challenging, including interactions with the human body


• Design PCB layouts optimized for RF/wireless designs


• Design RF systems in compliance with regulations and medical standards 


• Model, analyze and optimize wireless systems and antennas using finite element software


• Test, debug and optimize wireless systems and antennas


• Be part of the EE team and collaborate closely with our Mechanical Engineers, Scientists, Product Managers and Medical doctors 


• Collaborate with clinicians and end-users to capture, analyze and implement requirements for wireless systems optimized for usage by patients, carers and clinicians 


• Manage electronics sub-contractors and vendors within the scope of the function, balance technical requirements with manufacturability and cost


• Help drive a positive, collaborative and translation-focused culture at the Wyss Center

The ideal candidate should be flexible and open to providing technical solutions for multiple neurotechnology applications in a cutting edge, multidisciplinary translation-oriented environment.  The candidate must also be able to work independently to identify innovative approaches to wireless electronic solutions suitable for human neurotechnology applications.

Profil requis

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with at least 5 years (BS) or 3 years (MS) of work experience in an industrial setting


• Hands-on experience in wireless systems engineering for medical devices


• Hands-on experience in developing RF communication and power/data transfer systems for wearable or implantable medical devices 


• Proven experience in PCB layout technics specially for RF designs


• Working knowledge of radio communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy 


• Experience in working in a tightly regulated industry (e.g. medical devices, space or transport industry); experience with ISO 13485, IEC 60601-1 and related standards is a plus; 


• Experience in writing requirements, test plans, perform run tests and generate reports


• Aptitude for innovation, willingness and ability to drive change, passion for quality and continuous improvement 


• Results oriented, with a strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive


• Good communication and presentation skills
