Company & Job Overview :
Diality Inc, a privately held medical device company located in Irvine, CA is committed to improving the quality of life for patients with kidney disease. We are developing a smart, flexible, portable hemodialysis machine that will enable patients to self-treat at home or wherever they travel. The extremely versatile hemodialysis solution will allow more patients to benefit from their true dialysis prescription at home or in a variety of care settings, including nursing homes, hospitals, and dialysis centers, without the need for pre-mixed dialysate bags or external water-treatment systems.
The Senior Electrical Engineer will be responsible for troubleshooting system issues for hemodialysis devices. Responsibilities include assessing system complaints, performing root cause analysis, conducting tests and providing resolutions; creating and reviewing documentation and related drawings; designing electrical components, circuits or sub-systems of moderate difficulty; Additionally, the role involves planning and coordinating detailed phases of electrical and systems engineering activities for the assigned project, and participating sub-system integration, verification and troubleshooting.
Responsibilities :
- Lead investigations into complex technical issues or failures related to hardware / software sub-components.
- Diagnoses and proposes solutions for electrical system issues.
- Complete knowledge and full understanding of engineering, principles, and practices
- Devises solutions based on limited information and precedents and adapts existing approaches to resolve issues.
- Uses evaluation, judgment, and interpretation to select the right course of action.
- Enhance relationships and networks with senior internal / external partners who are not familiar.
- Conducts engineering activities of electrical design to ensure product features, performance and quality are met within the cost budget and delivered on time.
- Identifies and specifies electronic subsystems and boards.
- Documents and analyze design requirements for implementation.
- Strategizes and develops verification and validation test plans to ensure product requirement specifications are met. Coordinates testing activities with internal teams and external partners to ensure V&V testing deliverables are met.
- Designs, models, simulates and tests electronic circuits, subsystems and systems.
- Create schematic drawings, guides PCB layout, generates BOMs and build packages, and coordinates with contract manufacturer on board fabrication and assembly.
- Supports system integration and troubleshooting, verification and validation, including safety, EMC and reliability.
- Applies Apply advanced problem-solving techniques, such as root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), to identify underlying causes and implement robust corrective actions.
- Works with production to ensure manufacturability and testability of electrical designs.
- Administrate electrical lab equipment, tools and materials; support board and cable rework and assembly; ensure the lab activities meet the safety and 5S requirements.
