Job description
Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer Omega Medical Imaging — Sanford, FL Position
Summary
Omega Medical Imaging is seeking a \ Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer to support the design, integration, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of advanced interventional X-ray imaging systems. This role requires a naturally curious, hands-on problem solver who can move fluidly between board-level design, system-level debugging, production and field service support, EMC troubleshooting, documentation, and supplier management. This is not a narrow design-only position.
The successful candidate will become one of Omega’s technical experts on interventional X-ray systems, helping support new product development, manufacturing, service, regulatory readiness, and legacy system sustainment.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical and Systems Engineering
- Design, review, debug, and sustain electrical hardware for robotic interventional X-ray imaging systems.
- Develop and troubleshoot analog, digital, mixed-signal, and embedded hardware designs.
- Support PCB/CCA design, schematic capture, board layout review, bring-up, verification, and production release.
- Design and troubleshoot FPGA/programmable logic functions using Verilog and/or VHDL.
- Support interfaces involving detectors, generators, video management systems, motion/control subsystems, operator controls, I/O, and safety-related circuits.
- Develop subsystem-level test strategies for circuit card assemblies and system-level integration.
- Transition designs from engineering prototype to production-ready configuration.
- Diagnose and resolve EMC, EMI, grounding, shielding, filtering, and cabling issues.
- Support EMC testing, pre-compliance troubleshooting, and design changes needed for EN 60601 regulatory testing and compliance.
- Contribute to risk reduction and design documentation needed for medical device compliance. Production and Field Service Support
- Provide advanced technical support to manufacturing, test, and field service teams.
- Provide Tier 4 technical guidance for Field Service Engineers and internal technicians.
- Teach and mentor others so that manufacturing and service teams become more self-sufficient.
- Develop practical troubleshooting guides, work instructions, checklists, test procedures, and service documentation. Debugger and Problem Solver
- Diagnose system-level failures involving hardware, firmware, cabling, grounding, noise, timing, communication, power, video, and subsystem interactions.
- Lead structured root-cause analysis and corrective action for difficult or intermittent technical problems. Documentation, Test, and Supplier Support
- Create clear, detailed, user-friendly engineering documentation, work instructions, checklists, and test procedures.
- Design or support test fixtures for subsystem and circuit card verification.
- Assist with verification, validation, design transfer, and production readiness activities.
- Support technical interface activities with key subsystem suppliers.
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical discipline.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with medical electrical equipment or regulated product development.
- Experience with IEC 60601, EMC testing, safety testing, or medical device design controls.
- Experience with interventional X-ray, fluoroscopy, imaging systems, detectors, generators, video systems, or motion/control systems.
- Experience supporting production, field service, or customer-facing technical escalation. Ideal Candidate Profile
- Naturally curious and driven to understand how systems really work.
- A master debugger who enjoys hard problems and does not stop at superficial answers.
- Comfortable working from schematic to system level.
- Calm and methodical when problems are urgent or ambiguous.
- Strong enough technically to challenge assumptions, but humble enough to keep learning.
- A clear communicator who can support Field Service Engineers, manufacturing technicians, suppliers, and leadership.
- Willing to become a true subject-matter expert in interventional X-ray systems. Position Type Full-time, on-site or primarily on-site engineering role due to the hands-on nature of system troubleshooting, lab work, production support, and medical imaging equipment integration.
