• Develop foundational knowledge of the wide variety of clinical needs for patient temperature management
• Gain hands-on experience across the full product portfolio and throughout the entire lifecycle (concept through commercialization)
• Design solutions for global markets in a highly regulated environment (FDA, IEC 60601)
• Develop expertise in thermal systems, control electronics, and medical device design
• Collaborate with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Marketing teams to deliver safe and effective products

Design & Development

• Support the design and development of electrical subsystems including:
  
  
  
  • Heater control circuits, power electronics, and temperature sensing systems
  • Physiological closed-loop controls
  • PCB schematics and layout under supervision
  
  
  
  
• Assist in translating user needs and design inputs into engineering specifications
• Contribute to component selection based on performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements

Testing & Verification

• Define and perform bench testing, verification, and validation activities:
  
  
  
  • Electrical safety (e.g., leakage current, grounding)
  • Signal integrity
  • Thermal performance and control stability
  
  
  
  
• Use lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, and environmental chambers
• Document test results in accordance with design control requirements

Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

• Support root cause investigations for product or test failures
• Support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and design improvements
• Participate in risk management and failure analysis of electrical and thermal systems

Manufacturing & Sustaining Engineering Support

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to support:
  
  
  
  • New product introductions (NPI)
  • Design for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA)
  
  
  
  
• Help resolve production issues and evaluate component or supplier changes
• Drive change control projects to implementation, coordinating cross-functional teams and ensuring timely, compliant execution

Documentation & Compliance

• Generate and maintain engineering documentation including:
  
  
  
  • Schematics, BOMs, and test protocols
  • Design history file (DHF) contributions
  
  
  
  
• Ensure compliance with:
  
  
  
  • IEC 60601 standards (electrical safety, thermal performance)
  
  
  
  

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 0-2 years of relevant experience
• Fundamental knowledge of:
  
  
  
  • Analog and digital circuit design
  • Basic control systems and signal measurement
  
  
  
  
• Familiarity with lab equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, power supplies)
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Strong documentation and technical writing skills
• Ability to work in a team environment and communicate technical information clearly

• Professional experience within the medical device or temperature management environment.
