AMFConsulting is partnering with a global leader in the medical device sector in Galway to recruit a Senior Electrical Engineer. This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of complex electrical design projects, contribute to innovative Class II/III medical technologies, and play a key role in bringing life-enhancing products from concept to market.
This position offers broad technical exposure, cross-functional collaboration, and the chance to mentor junior engineers while working within a highly regulated, quality-driven environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and contribute to the design, development, and testing of electrical systems and circuits for medical devices, ensuring compliance with all applicable regulatory and safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601).
- Drive technical project planning: establish timelines, define deliverables, and proactively identify and mitigate risks.
- Produce detailed specifications, schematics, PCB layouts, and supporting documentation.
- Execute system-level integration of hardware, firmware, and software components.
- Conduct risk assessments, troubleshoot complex electrical issues, and implement robust corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
- Manage engineering change control and maintain accurate design documentation including BOMs, drawings, and specifications.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and reliability teams to optimise designs for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
- Support verification and validation activities to ensure device safety, reliability, and compliance.
- Design and qualify functional and safety test systems for both product and PCB-level testing.
- Investigate field returns; perform root-cause analysis and determine corrective actions.
- Provide technical support to manufacturing teams and key suppliers, improving yields and process capability.
- Support internal and external audits relating to regulatory and quality compliance.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a collaborative, innovative engineering culture.
- Keep up to date with advances in electrical engineering and emerging technologies relevant to medical device development.
