Job Overview :

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with expertise in high-speed digital and analog circuit design, PCB layout, and technical documentation.

This role involves the design and development of a portable, rugged ultrasound imaging system that leverages GPU-assisted computing.

You will work collaboratively with ultrasound physicists, doctors, and biomedical scientists to engineer a robust, reliable device capable of high-performance imaging in a compact, mobile form factor.

General Qualifications :

• Education : Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Hardware Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ Years Experience

Technical Expertise :

• High-speed digital and analog circuit design, PCB layout, and schematic capture using professional design software.
• Proficient in using and designing for electronic communication standards (USB, USB 3.0, PCI-e, gigabit Ethernet, etc.).
• Strong technical documentation skills, with a commitment to clear documentation of all work.

Prototyping and Lab Skills :

• Skilled in electronics prototyping, including fine-pitch soldering.
• Proficient in using lab equipment (e.g., power supplies, oscilloscopes, function generators).

Project-Specific Qualifications :

• System-Specific Knowledge : Familiarity with high-performance GPU-assisted computing systems, including cooling requirements, power optimization, and battery management.
• Thermal and Cooling Systems : Hands-on experience in 3D modeling of thermal flow and design of active cooling systems for compact, high-performance devices.
• Ultrasound Hardware : Knowledge of ultrasound systems hardware and experience in development (preferred).
• Mechanical Design : Proficient in mechanical design with SolidWorks and / or AutoCAD.

Key Responsibilities :

• System Design and Development :
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design and develop a portable, rugged ultrasound imaging system for high-performance applications.
• Engineer a durable chassis that provides a safe electromechanical environment for the system's primary modules, including the phased array controller, portable computer, GPU, display, and ultrasound probe.
• Component Research and Selection :
• Conduct thorough research on market components to identify those that best meet prototype requirements, with documented rationale for each selection.
• Electrical Specifications and Design :
• Define detailed electrical specifications for the power management system, including autonomous battery operation and charging systems.
• Develop an active cooling system tailored to the power demands of the portable ultrasound system.
• Supplier Collaboration :
• Work with suppliers for the phased array controller and ultrasound probe to meet system specifications, ensuring FDA compliance.
• Custom Probe Specifications :
• Develop electrical specifications for a custom, rugged, medical-grade matrix probe that minimizes impedance mismatch and electronic noise while maximizing gain.
• Mechanical Design Collaboration :
• Partner with mechanical engineers to create an ergonomic, portable carrying case, and coordinate with manufacturers to ensure rugged enclosure production meets project specifications.
• Prototype Integration and Testing :
• Oversee the integration of all system components into a miniaturized, rugged prototype, coordinating with external integrators as necessary.

This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge healthcare technology by developing a resilient, high-performance ultrasound imaging system designed for portability and field use.
