Stryker is seeking a seasoned hardware engineer who owns designs end to end — from schematic capture through layout, bring-up, and verification — and holds the result to a high bar at every stage. The ideal candidate is energized by board-level debugging and root-cause analysis and sweats the details that make or break a board: stackup, impedance control, power integrity, etc. Experience in a regulated industry is essential, and this engineer is comfortable working within design controls, risk management, and standards such as IEC 60601-1. As a Sr. Staff-level contributor, they elevate the broader team — mentoring others, working across firmware, mechanical, and systems, and anticipating sourcing, manufacturability, and lifecycle challenges before they arise.
What You Will Do
Own end-to-end PCB design from schematic capture through layout, fabrication, assembly, and board bring-up for multi-layer, multi-board medical device systems
Lead board-level debugging and root cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and thermal imaging
Drive signal integrity and power integrity analysis, including impedance-controlled routing, decoupling strategies, plane partitioning, and high-speed interface design (LVDS, USB, HDMI, Ethernet)
Develop and refine PCB layout guidelines, stackup definitions, and design rules to meet EMI/EMC and electrical safety requirements per IEC 60601-1
Design power distribution architectures at the board level, including DC-DC converters, LDOs, sequencing, inrush management, and grounding/isolation strategies
Perform component selection and qualification, including derating analysis, alternate sourcing, and obsolescence management for long-lifecycle medical products
Define and execute board-level verification and validation testing, including environmental stress testing, margin testing, and boundary condition characterization
Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to resolve cross-domain integration issues at the board and system level, while mentoring junior engineers on PCB design best practices, debugging methodology, and design-for-excellence principles (DFM, DFA, DFT)
Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, layout guidelines, test reports, DVP&Rs, risk analysis, and design control records
What You Need (Required Qualifications)
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required
6+ years of experience in electrical hardware design, PCB design, or a related field required
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with PCB design tools (Altium, OrCAD, or Allegro), including multi-layer boards
Proven experience in board bring-up, debugging, and failure analysis
Strong background in signal integrity, power integrity, and mixed-signal design
Experience with high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB, Ethernet, LVDS)
Proficiency with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, analyzers, thermal tools)
Experience with board-level power design (DC-DC, LDOs, etc.)
Knowledge of EMI/EMC design and pre-compliance
Experience in a regulated industry (medical preferred)
Familiarity with design controls, risk management, and V&V
Understanding of DFM/DFA/DFT and manufacturing collaboration
Experience with embedded systems (MCU/FPGA interfaces)
Knowledge of PCB thermal management techniques
Exposure to flex/rigid-flex designs and Linux (nice to have)
