The Senior Electrical Engineering Specialist is responsible for leading the electrical development activities for advanced medical device products while providing technical leadership of the electrical discipline throughout the product development lifecycle. The role owns the electrical subsystem, including electrical architecture, embedded hardware, electrical interfaces, and electrical verification, while contributing to multidisciplinary system integration and technical decision making.

Electrical System Leadership

Own the electrical subsystem architecture and technical direction, electrical design inputs, subsystem requirements, interface requirements, and technical decisions

Lead the electrical discipline throughout concept development, feasibility, detailed design, verification, manufacturing transfer, and sustaining engineering

Define electrical interfaces between controller hardware, firmware, sensors, actuators, accessories, and the overall system

Provide technical leadership for embedded hardware architecture, power distribution, sensing, actuator-drive electronics, and hardware-firmware interfaces

Lead multidisciplinary electrical trade-off decisions while contributing to overall product architecture and system-level decision making

Be accountable for the quality, completeness, technical integrity, and performance of the electrical subsystem

Foster internal ownership of electrical technical knowledge and reduce long-term dependence on external development partners

Support design-for-manufacturability and design-for-testability activities for electrical assemblies

Support manufacturing test strategies, electrical acceptance criteria, and production readiness

Support component lifecycle management, supplier changes, and obsolescence planning

Support electrical investigations, corrective actions, engineering changes, and sustaining engineering activities

External Development Partner & Supplier Management

Lead the electrical technical interface with external development partners, suppliers, and consultants

Review and challenge electrical architectures, schematics, PCB designs,



interface definitions, analyses, specifications, and test evidence developed internally or externally

Support technical due diligence, technology evaluations, and design-change assessments for externally developed technologies

Ensure critical electrical design knowledge, rationale, interface definitions, verification evidence, and supplier know-how are transferred to, retained within, and further developed by Trudell

Collaborate with Manufacturing, NPI, Supplier Quality, contract manufacturers, and PCBA suppliers during development and product transfer

System Integration & Product Development

Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, systems, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, and test engineering teams throughout product development

Define and maintain electrical interfaces between subsystems

Lead electrical integration activities and support multidisciplinary system integration

Support prototype builds, engineering builds, laboratory integration, characterization, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations

Contribute electrical expertise to multidisciplinary architecture decisions and system-level trade-offs

Develop electrical characterization and verification strategies

Define electrical test methods, acceptance criteria, and performance metrics

Support electrical safety, EMC, hardware-firmware integration, and subsystem verification activities

Identify technical risks and develop mitigation strategies

Participate in design reviews, risk management activities, and technical investigations

Documentation & Design Controls

Develop and maintain electrical design documentation, including architecture, interface definitions, design rationale, schematics,



bills of material, analyses, and technical calculations

Support hardware-firmware interface documentation and electrical subsystem specifications

Document characterization methods, verification evidence, and engineering decisions

Support configuration management, engineering changes, and traceability activities

Participate in design reviews and design control activities

Health & Safety

Ensure compliance with relevant health and safety legislation, including the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, etc.

Education & Experience:

Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechatronics) or a related field of study

Master’s degree is an asset

10+ years of experience in product development and electrical engineering, with demonstrated experience of launching medical devices

Experience leading or influencing technical development activities within multidisciplinary engineering teams

Specialized Skill or Knowledge:
