What you will do

• Lead the electrical and mechatronic architecture, design, development, integration, commissioning, verification, release, and lifecycle support of capital equipment and test systems for medical devices and robotic systems.
• Integrate motors, encoders, sensors, servo drives, power electronics, safety circuits, electrical cabinets, data-acquisition hardware, programmable controllers, and mechanical interfaces.
• Translate test objectives, product requirements, motion profiles, load cases, and measurement needs into equipment specifications and robust system architectures.
• Create and review schematics, wiring diagrams, cabinet layouts, cable and harness designs, interface-control documents, bills of materials, and other design documentation.
• Define repeatable and traceable motion-control and sensing systems, including force, torque, displacement, velocity, and position measurement.
• Collaborate with mechanical, controls, software, and systems-engineering teams on interfaces, diagnostics, machine states, interlocks, safety functions, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline with 10+ years of relevant experience, or a Master’s/advanced degree with 8+ years of relevant experience.
• Senior-level experience designing electrical and mechatronic systems for capital equipment, automation equipment, robotics, test systems, or special-purpose machinery.
• Strong integrated-design experience with motors, encoders, sensors, servo drives, power distribution, safety circuits, electrical cabinets, and mechanical interfaces.
• Experience creating and reviewing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cabinet layouts, cable and harness documentation, bills of materials, and interface-control documentation.
• Strong understanding of servo and stepper motion systems, motor and drive sizing, feedback devices, closed-loop behaviour, power electronics, and electromechanical system dynamics.
• Experience integrating measurement sensors and data-acquisition hardware, including signal conditioning, analogue and digital I/O, grounding, shielding, noise mitigation, and calibration.
• Experience integrating electrical hardware with mechanical systems, embedded or industrial controls, PLCs, real-time systems, software, and systems-engineering interfaces.
• Ability to lead complex technical decisions, conduct design reviews, manage technical risk, and solve multidisciplinary equipment and test-system problems.
• Strong communication, collaboration, technical leadership, and mentoring skills, including the ability to influence across functions without direct authority.

Nice to have

• Experience with electrical safety, machinery risk assessment, emergency-stop and interlock design, safe-motion concepts, equipment commissioning, and preventive-maintenance considerations.
• Experience in medical devices, robotics, regulated product development, or high-reliability test environments.

Culture & Benefits

• Work on healthcare technologies focused on improving patient outcomes and making surgery more precise, predictable, personalised, and less invasive.
• Flexible benefits package and competitive compensation.
• Eligibility for the short-term hirify.global Incentive Plan.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams in a senior individual-contributor role with broad technical influence.
