Electrical Engineer

Neptune Medical, is an innovative, venture capital funded medical device startup headquartered in Burlingame, CA. We have already commercialized novel medical devices using our technology. Now the team at Neptune is building something truly unique: a fully flexible medical robot that enables doctors to reach deep into human anatomy. Our Triton robot will disrupt flexible endoscopy and set a new standard with Triton Robotic Endoscopy in outcomes for decades to come.

TITLE: Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer

POSITION SUMMARY:

Triton Robotics is seeking a highly motivated individual to craft electrical solutions for complex robotic systems that will transform patient care and improve the lives of millions worldwide.  As a Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer on the hardware team, you will be responsible for various electrical activities including: PCBA design, cable and system design, and bring-up. Additionally, you will be responsible for ensuring proper integration of robotic peripherals including motion control, sensor interfaces, computing, and power distribution. 

You’ll be responsible for ensuring requirements are properly captured, reviewed, and implemented. In addition to design tasks, you will be responsible for creating, documenting, and reviewing all risks in accordance with best design practices and regulatory demands. This is a highly hands-on role that is critical to the success of the product. 

The ideal candidate for this role will have 5-10 years of electrical design and bring-up, as well as 4-6 years experience in robotics or medical.  You’ll be self-driven and highly motivated to work hands on with a diverse team, be able to take and give constructive feedback, tackle challenges without known solutions, and motivated to drive harder when the solution isn’t obvious.

WHAT YOU WILL DELIVER:

• Execute high-complexity analog and digital PCB designs in Altium, from initial concept through to formal technical reviews and release.
• Improve system reliability by diagnosing prototype failures and implementing rapid, well-documented design improvements.
• Bridge the gap between mechanical and electrical disciplines to deliver integrated, high-performance hardware solutions.
• Ownership of all verification activities including board bring up, system integration, testing and documentation.
• Manage external manufacturing partners and lead dFMEA efforts to mitigate risk across the electrical ecosystem.

WHAT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS YOU BRING:

• Minimum of B.S. in computer science, electrical engineering or similar (M.S. preferred)
• At least 5-10 years of work experience including schematic and layout design of medium to high complexity digital and analog flexible and rigid PCBs.
• Experience working with suppliers to resolve process issues and understand supplier design constraints.
• Proven experience designing with ESD, EMI, immunity, and thermal considerations.
• Proven experience designing and developing electronic circuits from feasibility through product release.
• Demonstrated experience and proficiency using Altium Designer and controlled repositories such as GIT and SVN.
• Demonstrated ability to debug and test using high speed oscilloscopes, LCR meters, and other test tools.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills including presentation of technical content.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS THAT AN IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE SOME OF:

• Experience in the medical device field including knowledge of techniques and compliance to standards like 60601-1 and isolation is preferred.
• Experience with architecture level design in complex systems is welcomed.
• Experience in motor bring-up and basic programming to facilitate board bring-up and test is desired.
• Experience developing medical devices, including design controls, patient risk analysis, risk mitigation and dFMEA practices.
• “Nice to have” some experience with firmware.
