[Remote] Principal Electrical Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Noctrix Health is redefining the treatment of chronic neurological disorders with clinically validated therapeutic wearables. They are seeking an experienced and innovative Principal Electrical Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and development of electrical systems for next-generation therapeutic wearable devices.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical authority for electrical architecture and hardware design across Noctrix’s therapeutic wearable platforms
- Lead hands-on design and development of complex analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for medical device systems, including schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, and component selection
- Architect robust electrical systems that meet the performance, reliability, and safety requirements of prescription medical devices operating in FDA-regulated environments
- Drive full lifecycle hardware development—from early concept and feasibility through detailed design, verification, validation, and transfer to manufacturing
- Perform and guide detailed electrical engineering analysis including signal integrity, power management design, noise mitigation, and system-level performance optimization
- Lead rigorous troubleshooting and root cause investigations for electrical and system-level issues during development, verification testing, and manufacturing
- Develop, review, and maintain high-quality design documentation in compliance with medical device quality systems, including design inputs/outputs, risk analysis, verification protocols, and traceability artifacts
- Ensure electrical designs support regulatory compliance requirements including IEC 60601 safety, EMC, and applicable medical device standards
- Work closely with firmware and systems teams to develop integrated hardware solutions that deliver reliable therapeutic performance and exceptional patient experience
- Mentor engineers and contribute to raising the technical depth and engineering rigor of the hardware team
- Support manufacturing partners and internal teams in design for manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and scale-up to production
- Contribute to the identification and development of new electrical technologies, architectures, and hardware platforms aligned with Noctrix’s long-term product roadmap
