  Position Description:
  We are seeking an aspiring Electrical Engineer who is looking to positively impact society through the creation and improvement of healthcare technology. In this role you will put your critical thinking, product design, and technical skills to the test. You’ll report to the Director of Embedded Hardware to support the execution of software/firmware design and development activities through all phases of the medical product development process including initial design efforts, testing, validation, and stewarding projects to the final manufacturing transfer.

  You’ll work on a variety of cutting-edge projects with engineers from across different disciplines to solve real-world problems. As a product development consultancy, all work is performed on behalf of our clients and our projects are constantly changing. Our group of engineers are highly skilled, collaborative, hands-on, and want to help you succeed at our company and in your career.

  
  Responsibilities:

  As an Electrical Engineering Co-Op, you will be exposed to some of the following:

  • Broad range of electrical engineering including experience in digital and analog circuit design, simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping and debug. Familiarity with Altium is preferred
  • How medical products are regulated and designed
  • Design for manufacturing and assembly techniques
  • Perform integration and test of a wide variety of complex embedded systems using test instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, impedance analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.)
  • Test fixture development and automation in Python, Matlab, and LabView
  • EMC design techniques
  • Development of wireless applications and devices
  • Biosensor design/integration, test and analysis
  • Embedded hardware/firmware integration, test, and debug on a variety of hardware platforms

  • Industry standards and how to incorporate them while designing products
  • The ins and outs of consulting and working with clients
  • Supply chain and working with external entities

  No two experiences will be the same. To ensure our students get a well-rounded experience, work will be split across projects and self-development activities. Your mentor will help and guide you along the way. Students may get listed as inventors on patents as part of their work. While client work will be confidential, we will make every effort to keep a portion of work something that can be openly disclosed; your mentor will help you with your resume and portfolio toward the end of your experience.
