Electrical Engineer II

About the role

Hinge Health is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. In this role, you will play a key part in designing and developing our next-generation hardware products.

As a junior-to-mid-level engineer, you will work on diverse projects, driving board-level designs for highly integrated medical devices from schematic to layout to assembly. You will work cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to bring products from concept through production.

The ideal candidate is excited about solving real problems with hardware – your work will have a direct impact on reducing pain and improving the lives of our millions of members. In joining our HW group within the broader R&D organization, you will be part of a highly capable, motivated, small team where your contributions and ideas truly matter.

What you’ll accomplish

• Drive the electrical design of embedded systems, including component selection, schematic capture, and PCB layout for multi-layer, high-density boards

• Work at all stages of the product development process, from exploration and prototyping to detailed design, testing, and ramping to mass production

• Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and senior electrical engineers on system architecture and integration

• Ensure design quality and meeting medical device regulatory requirements with clear documentation and robust testing

• Support manufacturing and sustaining engineering by improving designs for reduced cost or improved manufacturability, supporting process or test development, and assisting with failure analysis down to the component level

Basic qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in hardware development or embedded systems design

• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout for multi-layer boards

• Experience with microcontroller-based system design (ARM Cortex-M, MSP430, or similar) and standard digital interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, etc.)

• Hands-on experience with board bring-up, debugging, and rework on high density designs (0201, BGA, etc.). Proficient with standard lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, soldering equipment and hot-air rework stations

Preferred qualifications

• Proficiency with Altium Designer

• Experience with designs including battery management, Bluetooth LE, high-voltage circuits, and analog design

• Experience working in medical device development or, alternatively, within another highly regulated industry (aerospace, automotive, etc.)

• Familiarity with EMI/EMC best practices and familiarity with certification processes (FCC, CE, UL)

• Basic proficiency in Python for test automation or C/C++ for firmware modifications to aid in bring-up and testing

• Experience transitioning designs to manufacturing and applying DFM best practices
