What We’re Looking For...

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with strong hands‑on technical skills in one or more key electrical engineering domains to join our Sydney engineering team.

This is a technically focused role contributing directly to the design, development, verification, and support of active implantable medical devices and their supporting accessories. Depending on your background, you will take technical ownership in areas such as RF systems, firmware, mixed‑signal ASICs, or PCB design, while working closely with internal teams and external development and manufacturing partners.

You will contribute at both component and system level, influencing architecture, requirements, and design decisions, and participating actively in technical reviews throughout the product lifecycle. This role requires engineers who can write high‑quality technical documentation and communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

This is a 12 month, Fixed term contract position

Your role will include: 

• Contribute to the design and development of electrical and electronic subsystems for implantable and external medical devices
• Provide deep technical expertise in one or more of the following areas:
  
  • Mixed‑signal ASIC development
  • RF system design and compliance
  • Embedded firmware
  • PCB design and layout
• Develop and review technical requirements, specifications, and design documentation
• Participate in schematic, layout, firmware, and system‑level design reviews, including designs produced by external partners
• Assist with debugging, root cause analysis, and issue resolution during development and manufacturing transfer
• Communicate technical concepts, risks, and trade‑offs effectively to engineers, quality, regulatory, and operations stakeholders
• Support verification and validation activities, including test method development and analysis of results
• Collaborate closely with systems engineering, firmware, mechanical, quality, regulatory, and manufacturing teams
• Ensure designs meet safety, performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements appropriate to medical devices

Core Technical Skills (One or More Required)

Candidates are expected to demonstrate strong depth in at least one of the following areas:

RF and Wireless Systems

• Design and integration of Bluetooth or other RF systems
• Antenna integration, coexistence, and EMC considerations
• Experience supporting RF compliance and regulatory testing

PCB Design and Layout

• Schematic capture and multi‑layer PCB design
• Layout for mixed‑signal, low‑noise, and RF‑sensitive systems
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability and test

Embedded Firmware

• Strong embedded programming skills (e.g. C)
• Experience developing firmware for low‑power or safety‑critical systems
• Familiarity with hardware‑software integration and debugging

Mixed‑Signal ASIC Development

• Experience specifying, designing, or supporting analog / mixed‑signal ASICs
• Understanding of front‑end analog design, data converters, power management, and signal integrity
• Experience working with ASIC vendors or design houses

It’s not essential, but nice if you have:

• Knowledge of analogue electronics, including SPICE‑based simulation
• Proficiency using modelling and simulation tools such as LTspice
• Strong programming fundamentals beyond embedded level (e.g. Python, C#)
• Knowledge of control systems, digital signal processing (DSP), and neurophysiology
• Experience with Test Method Validation and FMEA
• Experience working in quality‑controlled and regulated environments, including familiarity with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304
  

At Saluda, we challenge boundaries. We innovate and think beyond the conventional. We disrupt.
