Responsibilities
Participate in and manage the development effort of multiple hardware products simultaneously, ensuring cost, schedule, budget, and performance requirements are met from concept to mass production release
Develop clear, detailed product requirements and specifications that translate user needs and business goals into actionable engineering requirements, collaborating closely with product management, hardware, firmware, software, clinical, operations, quality, and external design and manufacturing partners
Lead the design-stage work by developing system- and subsystem-level specifications, block diagrams, and architecture documents that define how the product functions end to end, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners across hardware, firmware, software, clinical, and operations
Own the end-to-end product development across electrical, mechanical, and firmware domains, including concept development, brainstorming, and participation in design reviews; create CAD models and detailed manufacturing drawings, apply tolerancing and engineering analysis such as FEA, and perform hands-on prototyping and iteration to drive concepts into robust, production-ready hardware designs
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for contract manufacturers engaging in JDM activities; direct and check work, lead design reviews, lead technical discussions, and drive issue resolution
Drive DFMA, DFT, and DFR across the design; conduct design and process FMEAs; review CAD, schematics, and drawings to ensure clarity for manufacturing and assembly
Develop test plans derived from product requirements, oversee prototyping and execution of tests, and lead verification activities to confirm that product performance and reliability targets are met
Coordinate regulatory and certification activities (e.g., safety, EMC, wireless), ensure designs conform to relevant standards, and drive products through successful certification
Travel regularly to manufacturing sites to support builds, review off-tool samples and inspection reports, drive corrective actions to ensure designs meet Inspiren's specifications, regulatory requirements, and quality standards; ensure successful transition to mass production in partnership with operations and suppliers
Provide technical guidance and mentorship, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation through a culture of continuous learning
