Senior Electrical Engineer – Medical Devices - Galway

AMFConsulting is partnering with a global leader in the medical device sector in Galway to recruit a Senior Electrical Engineer. This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of complex electrical design projects, contribute to innovative Class II/III medical technologies, and play a key role in bringing life-enhancing products from concept to market.

This position offers broad technical exposure, cross-functional collaboration, and the chance to mentor junior engineers while working within a highly regulated, quality-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to the design, development, and testing of electrical systems and circuits for medical devices, ensuring compliance with all applicable regulatory and safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601).
• Drive technical project planning: establish timelines, define deliverables, and proactively identify and mitigate risks.
• Produce detailed specifications, schematics, PCB layouts, and supporting documentation.
• Execute system-level integration of hardware, firmware, and software components.
• Conduct risk assessments, troubleshoot complex electrical issues, and implement robust corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Manage engineering change control and maintain accurate design documentation including BOMs, drawings, and specifications.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and reliability teams to optimise designs for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Support verification and validation activities to ensure device safety, reliability, and compliance.
• Design and qualify functional and safety test systems for both product and PCB-level testing.
• Investigate field returns; perform root-cause analysis and determine corrective actions.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing teams and key suppliers, improving yields and process capability.
• Support internal and external audits relating to regulatory and quality compliance.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a collaborative, innovative engineering culture.
• Keep up to date with advances in electrical engineering and emerging technologies relevant to medical device development.

Skills & Experience

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent).
• Minimum of 4+ years’ electrical design experience, or 2+ years with a relevant advanced degree.

Preferred Experience
