Electronics Engineer – Embedded Systems & PCB

We are seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer with strong expertise in embedded systems , Microchip PIC microcontrollers , and Altium Designer to support updates to an existing medical‑grade electronic device. This role involves both firmware and hardware modifications, along with documentation aligned to medical device development standards.

• Embedded Firmware Development — Update and maintain firmware for a PIC18LF46K22 microcontroller, including migration from legacy Microchip C18 (v3.43) and MPLAB IDE 8.87 to the latest MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler.
• PCB Design & Revision — Implement minor hardware updates to an existing PCB using Altium Designer, including component changes and layout adjustments.
• Alarm System Modification — Modify embedded software to update audible alarm pulsation patterns.
• Buzzer Hardware Redesign — Replace a piezoelectric buzzer with a magnetic buzzer and associated driving circuitry.
• LED Hardware Updates — Implement minor PCB modifications to support updated LED color requirements.
• Documentation to Medical Standards — Produce and maintain engineering documentation, design change records, and verification notes consistent with medical device quality systems (e.g., IEC 60601, ISO 13485).

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering , Electronics Engineering , or related field.
• 3+ years of experience with Microchip PIC microcontroller development.
• Proficiency with MPLAB X IDE , XC8 , and legacy Microchip toolchains.
• Strong PCB design experience using Altium Designer .
• Demonstrated ability to create and maintain medical device–grade documentation .
• Experience with mixed‑signal circuit design, low‑power embedded systems, and alarm/buzzer circuitry.
  

• Experience working under FDA Class II or similar regulated environments.
• Familiarity with IEC 60601 , ISO 14971 , or ISO 13485 processes.
• Prior work updating or maintaining legacy embedded systems.

• Update existing PCB and firmware for a PIC18LF46K22‑based device.
• Migrate codebase to MPLAB X + XC8.
• Modify audible alarm patterns.
• Replace piezo buzzer with magnetic buzzer + driver circuitry.
• Update LED color hardware.
• Deliver updated documentation suitable for medical device change control.
