Senior Electronics Engineer (m/f/d)

At Roche you can show up as yourself, embraced for the unique qualities you bring. Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections, where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position

Your New Team

Do you want to play a key role in developing next-generation medical diagnostic devices that improve the lives of millions of patients? We combine innovative circuit design with the highest quality standards. Together, we shape the future of healthcare-precisely, reliably, and with a forward-looking approach. In our Hardware Development department, you will join a highly motivated, interdisciplinary team of engineers, software specialists, and system architects. We foster an open feedback culture, interact as equals, and support one another through complex technical challenges. From the initial concept to series production, we work hand in hand.

The Opportunity

In the role of Senior Electronics Engineer (m/f/d), you will take charge of the conceptualization and circuit design of analogue and digital assemblies for diagnostic devices in medical applications. Building prototypes and demonstrators, conducting systematic troubleshooting at the assembly and component levels, and performing EMC pre-compliance testing will be part of your daily routine. You will also actively contribute to risk analyses and Design FMEAs, implementing technical safety measures directly into the electronics design.

Additionally, you can look forward to the following exciting tasks:

• Specifications & System Requirements: Define electronics specifications and interface documentation, actively contributing to global system requirements.

• Standards-Compliant Design (IEC 60601): Design circuits in compliance with DIN EN 60601-1 (electrical safety, isolation concepts, MOPP/MOOP, clearance and creepage distances) and DIN EN 60601-1-2 (EMC).

• Approval & CE Compliance: Prepare, execute, and document standards-relevant tests to support external CE certifications in accredited testing laboratories.

• Process & Interface Collaboration: Create technical documentation, oversee the transition of designs into volume production (DFM/DFT), and coordinate closely with adjacent technical disciplines.

• Mentoring: Conduct design reviews and support junior team members with your technical expertise.

Who You Are

For this challenging role, you hold a successfully completed degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Medical Engineering, Mechatronics, Communications Engineering, or a comparable qualification. You bring at least 5-10 years of solid experience in independent hardware development, ideally gained within the regulated medical technology sector. Routine experience with common design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCAD, EAGLE, or OrCAD) and circuit simulation (e.g., SPICE) is second nature to you.

The following attributes complete your profile:

• Circuit Design: Sound knowledge of analogue and digital circuit design-especially low-power design for battery-operated devices. Specific expertise in analogue technology, RF design, or electrical/functional safety is an advantage.

• Measurement & Lab Equipment: Strong practical experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, logic analysers, and electrical safety testing equipment.

• Standards & Regulatory Knowledge: Proficiency with the IEC 60601-1 / 60601-1-2 family of standards, understanding of ISO 14971 (risk management), and familiarity with CE approval processes for medical devices.

• Manufacturing Expertise: Deep insight into EMC-compliant design, Design for Manufacturability/Testability (DFM/DFT), and obsolescence management.

• Language Skills: Business-fluent German and excellent written and spoken English skills.
