BD Medical Diabetes Care Unit is developing a family of products that promise to transform the way diabetes is manged. A cross-functional team is being assembled to develop this world class system and we are seeking a dynamic technical leader to drive electrtonic design efforts.

The ideal candidate will have been the lead designer on both multi-chip products as well as system on a chip ASICs. Integrating analog and programmable digital functionality, you will drive the overall architecture and signal path design for a low-powered portable system with a body worn biosensor. You will work with the product development team to generate requirements, plan the project, participate in the medical device risk analysis and qualify the system for release.

Hands on experience designing commercial products with Verilog or VHDL is required. Demonstrated design for low noise sensor interfacing and analog processing for very low powered remote controlled sensors is also required. Development of portable electronic systems for medical device deployment is highly desired especially with low powered implantable devices. Development of electronic control systems and algorithms (COMSOL, MatLab), system simulation and low power validation under Cadence design environments and device simulation (SPICE, SILVACO) will be required in our leading edge development work. Design elements that include RF, very low standby power management and integrated photonic devices using Virtuoso Experience with standards including medical quality (FDA21CFR820, IEC60601/60825 IEEE 802.15/11073) is preferred.

You will drive technical design reviews and interfaces with other functional areas, marketing, systems, hardware, etc to ensure successful implementation of intended designs.

These designs will be implemented in Class 3 applications and operate continuously. This role will assume overall leadership and responsibility for the mixed signal electronic design and will be held accountable for the performance of these critical subsystems.

This role will involve critical partnering with both design and supply chain vendors and assisting in the development and efficient management of these partnerships can have a beneficial result in the platform financial performance.

The electronic design is inherently tied to the overall performance of the system and drives the quality of the output. This team will drive aggressive electro-optical device and board level designs with active yield and manufacturability optimizations throughout the product lifecycle.

The design of the product will need to meet aggressive cost targets and experience in developing systems with cost and yield optimizations will be quite advantageous.

- IC Design Technical Lead and Architecture
- Requirement generation and documentation
- Circuit element device simulation and development
- DFT and test bench development
- Detailed circuit design and layout
- System testing including validation and verification
