Electrical Engineer II - CST - Lafayette, CO (Onsite)

A Day in the Life

Cranial & Spinal Technologies develops technologies and solutions that support the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and spinal conditions. The Released Product Engineering function supports electromechanical medical device platforms, products, and components throughout their commercial lifecycle by resolving technical issues, implementing design improvements, and maintaining product safety, performance, reliability, and supply continuity.

This position is based in Lafayette, Colorado, and follows a hybrid schedule of four days onsite and one day remote per week. Travel is expected to be less than 10%.

As an Electrical Engineer II within Released Product Engineering, you will provide hands-on electrical engineering support for released medical device products. You will investigate product and manufacturing issues, perform circuit analysis and testing, implement design changes, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop sustainable solutions. You will serve as a key electrical engineering resource for the team, balancing multiple priorities and making timely technical decisions that support product quality, compliance, and business continuity.

Primary Responsibilities

• Investigate and resolve electrical hardware, component, manufacturing, supplier, and product quality issues involving released medical devices.
• Perform hands-on analog and digital circuit analysis, board-level troubleshooting, and electrical testing using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, function generators, and digital multimeters.
• Develop and execute test methods, fixtures, protocols, procedures, and engineering evaluations to verify device performance, safety, and reliability.
• Implement design changes addressing component obsolescence, product improvements, manufacturing needs, reliability, quality, and cost.
• Create and maintain schematics, printed circuit board designs, cable and assembly drawings, requirements, specifications, functional diagrams, test documentation, and theory-of-operation documents.
• Apply design-for-test and design-for-manufacturability principles when evaluating products, components, and manufacturing processes.
• Collaborate with systems, test, mechanical, software, hardware, quality, manufacturing, supplier quality, and external supplier teams to move technical issues toward resolution.
• Support electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing in accordance with applicable quality system requirements and IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electro-Mechanical or related Engineering field with 2+ years of relevant experience OR an advanced degree in Electrical, Electro-Mechanical or related Engineering field with 0+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience performing hands-on electrical testing, circuit analysis, and troubleshooting of analog or digital circuitry.
• Experience reading, interpreting, and developing electronic schematics and electrical design documentation.
• Experience contributing to engineering projects involving electromechanical products, devices, or systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Released product, sustaining engineering, or medical device engineering experience.
• Experience with Altium Designer or comparable electrical computer-aided design and printed circuit board design tools.
• Knowledge of design for test, design for manufacturability, reliability, risk management, or quality engineering methodologies.
• Knowledge of medical electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, emissions, and immunity requirements, including IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, or Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.
• Experience working with suppliers, contract manufacturers, external test laboratories, or geographically distributed engineering teams.

For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required.
