Job Summary
Stryker is seeking a seasoned hardware engineer who owns designs end to end from schematic capture through layout bring-up and verification and holds the result to a high bar at every stage. The ideal candidate is energized by board-level debugging and root-cause analysis and sweats the details that make or break a board: stackup impedance control power integrity etc. Experience in a regulated industry is essential and this engineer is comfortable working within design controls risk management and standards such as IEC 60601-1. As a Staff-level contributor they elevate the broader team mentoring others working across firmware mechanical and systems and anticipating sourcing manufacturability and lifecycle challenges before they arise.
What You Will Do
Own end-to-end PCB design from schematic capture through layout fabrication assembly and board bring-up for multi-layer multi-board medical device systems
Lead board-level debugging and root cause analysis using oscilloscopes logic analyzers spectrum analyzers network analyzers and thermal imaging
Drive signal integrity and power integrity analysis including impedance-controlled routing decoupling strategies plane partitioning and high-speed interface design (LVDS USB HDMI Ethernet)
Develop and refine PCB layout guidelinesstackupdefinitions and design rules to meet EMI/EMC and electrical safety requirements per IEC 60601-1
Design power distribution architectures at the board level including DC-DC converters LDOs sequencing inrush management and grounding/isolation strategies
Performcomponentselection and qualification including derating analysis alternate sourcing and obsolescence management for long-lifecycle medical products
Define and execute board-level verification and validation testing including environmental stress testing margin testing and boundary condition characterization
