About the Job
At Globus Medical, we move with a sense of urgency to deliver innovations that improve the quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Our team is inspired by the needs of these patients, and the surgeons and healthcare providers who treat them. We embrace a culture of exceptional response by partnering with researchers and educators to transform clinical insights into tangible solutions. Our solutions improve the techniques and outcomes of surgery so patients can resume their lives as quickly as possible.
Position Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in wireless technologies to join our rapidly growing Digital Health team. You will work closely with a dynamic team of electrical, software, and mechanical engineers to conceptualize and commercialize innovative medical devices to meaningfully impact the lives of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. The ideal candidate will have a strong background designing, building, and testing wireless power and communication systems, preferably for medical devices. This role requires a balance of creative thinking, analytical design, hands-on prototyping and testing, and systematic product development.
Essential Functions:
+ Lead the design, build, and test of wireless power and communication systems from concept to production, ensuring adherence to industry standards and performance metrics
+ Translate product requirements into design specifications and verification tests
+ Develop accurate models to simulate system performance and safety in the context of use (e.g. EMI, SAR, thermal)
+ Prototype and test designs by integrating antennas/coils with development kits or custom-designed PCBAs and custom-designed housings
+ Characterize electromagnetic parameters with impedance analyzers, vector-network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and E-field/H-field probes
+ Evaluate real-world performance with test phantoms and cadaveric specimens
+ Collaborate with a team of electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to integrate the wireless power and communication system(s) into market-ready medical devices by providing guidance on antenna/coil form factor, placement, and testing
+ Consider manufacturing methods, cost, and design for manufacturability to optimize system designs
+ Adhere to project timelines to deliver on-time designs, prototypes, test results, and documentation
+ Contribute to the growth of Globus Medical’s dominant intellectual property portfolio
+ Provide mentorship to junior team members
Required Knowledge, Experience, and Skills:
+ BS in electrical engineering with 5+ years of experience, MS EE with 3+ years of experience, or PHD EE with 0-3 years of experience
+ Experience in wireless power applications (e.g. inductive coupling, RF energy harvesting)
+ Experience with wireless communication and RF antenna design (e.g. RFID, MedRadio, BLE, LoRa)
+ Experience with EM simulation tools such as ANSYS (HFSS and Maxwell), CST, COMSOL, or equivalent
+ Working knowledge of electrical schematics and PCB layout
+ Experience with hands-on prototyping and testing
+ Strong understanding of electromagnetics (100kHz-5GHz)
+ Familiarity with electromagnetic safety requirements (e.g. FCC 47 CFR, SAR)
+ Excellent written and verbal communication skills
+ Ability to work independently and in small teams
+ Ability to travel up to 10% of the time
Preferred Knowledge, Experience, and Skills:
+ Ability to use Altium or equivalent PCBA design tool
+ Experience designing for medical device or wearable applications
+ Experience designing and testing according to electrical safety standards (e.g. IEC 60601-1, IEC 60950-1, IEC 62368-1, or equivalent)
