You’ll start on a magnetic navigation project within our Bioengineering team, building the hardware that generates, drives, and measures magnetic fields. Over time you’ll support other experimental hardware as technical needs evolve. You’ll take hardware from early concepts and lab prototypes through characterization, verification, and preparation for manufacturing. You’ll work closely with specialists in bioengineering, neuroscience, mechanical engineering, and software, and you’ll translate experimental requirements into reliable, measurable system performance.\nThis role suits a hands-on electrical engineer who enjoys building and troubleshooting hardware in a research lab, working across disciplines, and making sound engineering decisions as requirements evolve.\nWhat You'll Own\nDesign drive, control, and interface electronics for neurotechnology and medical-device systems, including waveform generation, power amplification, impedance matching, sensing, and transducer or actuator interfaces. \nDevelop analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, owning schematic capture, PCB layout collaboration, board bring-up, and debugging.\nTranslate application and experimental requirements into electrical specifications, including operating frequency, output power, timing, duty cycle, channel synchronization, and sensing requirements. \nIntegrate transducers or other stimulation/sensing hardware, power supplies, embedded controllers, sensors, and software into working prototypes. \nBuild automated test setups to characterize electrical performance, transducer loading, efficiency, thermal behavior, and repeatability.\nPartner with acoustics specialists to correlate electrical measurements with acoustic output and identify the causes of performance variation.\nImplement monitoring, fault detection, interlocks, and protective circuitry appropriate to the device’s intended use.\nDocument design decisions, test methods, and verification results; contribute to risk analysis and design reviews.\nWork with suppliers and manufacturing partners to improve component selection, assembly, testability, and reliability.\nWhat You Bring\nMust-have experience\nMaster’s degree in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering with a strong electronics focus, or equivalent practical experience.\nHands-on experience developing electronics for medical devices, neurotechnology, instrumentation, or related experimental hardware, ideally with exposure to a research lab environment.\nStrong grounding in analog and mixed-signal design, power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and noise reduction.\nExperience designing drive, interface, or impedance-matching circuits for transducers or coils, actuators, sensors, or other electrically driven hardware, with an understanding of how electrical loading affects system performance. \nAbility to take a PCB from schematic through bring-up and systematic troubleshooting.\nProficiency with oscilloscopes, signal generators, and relevant impedance, network, or spectrum measurement equipment.\nExperience using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools for instrument control, data analysis, and test automation.\nAbility to translate ambiguous requirements into practical experiments and clearly communicate findings across engineering and scientific teams.\nNice to have\nExperience with focused ultrasound, neuromodulation, neural interfaces, bioelectronic systems, or other therapeutic or diagnostic medical-device technologies. \nMultichannel or phased-array systems, beamforming electronics, and precise phase and amplitude control.\nFPGA, microcontroller, or embedded firmware development for waveform generation, timing, and system control.\nLow-noise receive electronics, transmit/receive switching, or ultrasound signal acquisition.\nExperience with system characterization and calibration, such as hydrophone measurements, acoustic field mapping, electro-acoustic calibration, or analogous measurement methods for other sensing/stimulation modalities. \nStrongly preferred: Experience designing or building magnetic coils, or experience with magnetic navigation or field generation systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4257,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T08:16:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":40,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.722,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":30,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T10:26:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/subsense-electrical-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/subsense-electrical-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T10:26:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion
