Electrical Systems Engineer

Summary/Objective:

We are looking for an Electrical Systems Engineer to join our R&D team and own system-level electrical development, taking projects from concept to validated, shippable hardware. This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role where you’ll solve challenging technical integration problems and drive benchtop prototyping, debugging, and test execution for both new and existing products. As a fast-paced company with a small team, at Avive you'll quickly gain exposure to every stage of the product development cycle and have the opportunity to directly see the life-saving impact of your work in the field

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

● Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, test, and quality engineers to develop, test, and launch features for life-saving products and accessories.

● Investigate feasibility of product changes, explore new and alternate peripheral components, and work closely with both electrical and firmware team members to integrate these modules into the existing design.

● Support benchtop programming and bring-up of new PCBAs. Validate electronics for production readiness.

● Analyze firmware-hardware interactions to identify failure mechanisms, determine trade-offs, and recommend design improvements.

● Support ongoing manufacturing of products through BOM improvements, alternate component selection and qualification, and debug of failed devices from the manufacturing line.

● Support products in the field through cross-functional debugging spanning electrical failure analysis, system log reviews, and collaboration with the quality, manufacturing, and customer success teams.

● Debug circuit behavior across a wide range of electronic modules (MCUs, switching power supplies, high voltage, ECG, audio, cellular, Wi-Fi, and more).

● Instrument, operate, and interpret data from oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment to characterize system behaviors.

● Design and execute test suites, analyze data, present data-driven conclusions, and document results through technical reports.

Required Education and Experience

● B.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering

● 3+ years of experience shipping hardware to the field

● Strong technical foundation in circuit theory and analysis.

● Hands-on experience designing, testing, and analyzing mixed-signal circuitry.

● Familiarity with embedded firmware

Preferred Experience and Qualifications

● Experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer)

● Experience with scripting programming tools (e.g., Python)

● Experience working on medical or health devices (e.g., in an FDA or ISO regulated environment)
