Vivonics, Inc. is a biomedical engineering technology development firm that creates innovative solutions to
important unmet needs in human health and performance and advances those technologies from the initial
concept to viable products. Our primary focus areas are physiological monitoring, wearable and noncontact sensors, advanced signal processing, diagnostics, decision support and wearable
non-invasive electrical stimulation devices.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Senior Electrical Systems Engineer leverages a diverse set of technical skills and develops system
architectures to execute the vision of the Business Development team. In this role, you will partner with the
Principal Investigators and Project Managers to develop and achieve the technical approach.
In this position, you will be responsible for conceptualizing system architectures (hardware,
communications, and software) to provide solutions to problems in human health and performance as well
as identifying user requirements and translating those requirements into design specifications. You will
lead the design, prototyping, verification, and realization of Vivonics hardware systems and individual
components, including conducting design reviews.
Individual technical effort will include designing, creating electrical schematics and overseeing PCB layouts
for DC power control circuitry, low-power miniaturized analog and digital systems and producing the design
documentation in compliance with Vivonics Quality Management System. You may also be required to
create the firmware architecture and implement the design, while working with multidisciplinary teams to
deliver device solutions for use in clinical research and commercial applications.
Additional responsibilities include mentoring junior staff to support design, implementation, and testing
activities. You will participate in meetings, demonstrations and presentations with team members and
sponsors and communicate ideas and engineering concepts to all disciplines, including helping in the
preparation of monthly and quarterly technical reports. You will also support Business Development by
contributing to project proposals and project planning. Some domestic travel may be required (~5% of
the time).
DESCRIPTION OF QUALIFICATIONS
The ideal candidate should possess a comprehensive skill set and extensive experience in circuit design,
simulation, and schematic capture. This role demands a hands-on expert who can not only excel in core
electronics design implementation and testing but also exhibit proficiency in firmware development.
Additionally, the candidate should demonstrate strong communication and project management abilities,
as the role involves working with and leading in-house or contracted software developers. The Senior
Electrical Systems Engineer will play a pivotal role in architecting the entire hardware and software system,
therefore the ability to comprehend the broader context of electronics design within a larger system,
incorporating diagnostic and analytic software, is crucial.
Overall, a successful candidate for this role should bring a blend of technical expertise, communication and
project management skills, and a holistic understanding of the integration between hardware and software
components in complex systems.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Systems Engineering, or Biomedical Engineering with
- 5-10 years of relevant work experience
- Expert at circuit design, simulation and schematic capture
- Experience developing embedded firmware
- Familiarity with system level design and functional partitioning
- Experience with biometric and physiological sensors, including near-infrared (NIRS) and opticalbased systems
- Experience integrating data communication capabilities such as Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, Ultrawide Band, and NFC
- Experience managing noise and maintaining signal integrity
- Experience developing embedded firmware in C
- Knowledge of programming languages such as C/C++, MATLAB, and LabVIEW
- Experience with PCB layout (CircuitStudio/Altium preferred)
- Familiarity with human factors and usability engineering
- Familiarity with Mechanical CAD (SolidWorks or Onshape preferred)
- Working understanding of the application of risk management to medical device development
- Experience with medical product development under ISO 13485, ISO 14971, ISO 62304, ISO
