Lead Electrical Engineer

**About SleepRes** SleepRes is developing next-generation sleep apnea therapy technologies that improve patient outcomes. We are a small, fast-moving R&D team focused on building high-quality medical devices that make a real-world impact. **Position Overview** We are seeking a Lead Electrical Engineer to lead the electrical and electronic architecture of current and next-generation positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy systems. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will own the design, integration, verification, and production implementation of device electronics, including power architecture, PCBAs, sensors, blower and heater interfaces, display and user-interface hardware, communications hardware, electrical safety, EMC, and production-test interfaces. You will work closely with systems, firmware, mechanical, software, V&V, NPI, quality, regulatory, overseas suppliers, and contract manufacturers to deliver reliable, compliant, and manufacturable electronics from concept through commercialization. **Level** This role may be filled at the Staff or Principal level based on experience, technical scope, and demonstrated leadership. • Staff: Typically 8+ years of relevant product-development experience. Serves as the primary technical owner for the electrical discipline, leads architecture and cross-functional technical decisions, mentors engineers, and remains deeply hands-on in design, testing, and commercialization. • Principal: Typically 10–12+ years of relevant experience with demonstrated platform-level technical leadership. Acts as a company-level authority for electrical architecture, establishes engineering standards, resolves the most complex multidisciplinary problems, mentors senior engineers, and influences multiple product generations. **What You’ll Do** • Lead electrical architecture, design, development, and verification for SleepRes PAP products • Own main control PCBAs, power distribution and conversion, sensor interfaces, blower and heater electronics, display/UI hardware, communications hardware, and electrical protection circuitry • Translate system requirements into electrical specifications, interfaces, component selections, design margins, and production-ready solutions • Lead schematic, PCB layout, component-selection, tolerance, derating, grounding, shielding, and signal-integrity reviews • Own electrical-safety and EMC engineering, including early pre-compliance testing, troubleshooting, and support of formal certification testing • Lead the hardware side of cellular, BLE, Wi-Fi, antenna, SIM/eSIM, and RF integration and support FCC, PTCRB, carrier, and related certification activities • Support verification, reliability testing, and hands-on root-cause investigation using appropriate electrical laboratory equipment • Work with NPI, PCBA suppliers, and contract manufacturers on DFM, testability, ICT/functional test, calibration, programming, end-of-line test, yield, and design transfer • Partner with Operations and Strategic Sourcing on component lifecycle, alternate-source qualification, supplier changes, value engineering, and cost reduction • Support design controls and risk management, including requirements, specifications, DFMEA, verification documentation, engineering reports, and design changes **What We’re Looking For** • BS in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline (MS preferred) • 8+ years of relevant electrical product-development experience; Principal-level candidates will typically bring 10–12+ years and demonstrated platform-level technical leadership • Strong experience with analog and digital circuit design, embedded microcontroller systems, power electronics, sensor interfaces, PCB design, signal integrity, grounding, shielding, and EMC • Strong hands-on laboratory and troubleshooting skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, electronic loads, and related equipment • Experience with component selection, tolerance analysis, derating, lifecycle management, and alternate-component qualification • Demonstrated experience taking complex electromechanical products from concept through commercial production • Experience working directly with PCB assemblers, contract manufacturers, and component suppliers • Strong systems thinking, communication, and ability to lead technical decisions in a fast-paced cross-functional environment **Nice to Have** • Experience developing CPAP, ventilator, respiratory, anesthesia, patient-monitoring, or other medical devices • Medical-device development experience under ISO 13485 and FDA design controls/QMSR • Familiarity with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, and applicable IEC/ISO 80601 requirements • Experience with pressure/flow sensors, blowers or motors, resistive heaters, thermistors, TFT/LCD displays, cellular modems, BLE, or Wi-Fi • Experience with FCC, PTCRB, cellular-carrier, or other wireless-device certification • Experience with production-test systems, high-volume Asian manufacturing partners, and electrical failure analysis • Experience leading electrical engineers or serving as the electrical technical lead for a multidisciplinary product program
