Research Electrical Engineer
Job Description:
A motivated Electrical Engineer is sought to assist with device development at the Tearney Lab. The Engineer will be responsible for design, fabrication, testing, and validation of research instruments and devices developed by the Tearney research group in the Wellman Center for Photomedicine. The candidate will work with multidisciplinary teams to create novel technologies and devices for both clinical and research applications. Devices include wearable devices and sensors, implantable sensors, rotary junctions, and imaging systems. Tasks revolve around electrical design including: breadboard prototype circuit design, design of custom PCBs, signals generation and manipulation, safety circuit design, and soldering electrical components. As a member of the Tearney Lab, the Engineer may occasionally write software and design mechanical housings. The Engineer may also mentor or teach their fellow engineers, technicians, graduate students, and fellows in the development of electrical/optical systems. As the Tearney Lab is a translational lab, the Engineer will also ensure that device testing is preformed, and systems are well documented to industry standard design control system specifications.
Principal Duties and Responsibilities:
Note: The term medical equipment may be either or all of electrical, mechanical and computer-based technologies for use in clinical or research applications.
Skills/Abilities/Competencies Required:
Working Conditions:
May work in research laboratory or clinical site with potential exposure to biological agents, e.g., blood-borne pathogens, hazardous electrical, e.g., high voltage, or mechanical energy. Occasional lifting of heavy objects, typically not exceeding 75 pounds/person may be requested. MGH policies governing appropriate laboratory attire will be followed including use of personal protective equipment.
Education:
Experience:
Minimum of 1-2 years of experience in device engineering in a hospital, industry, or academic setting preferred
