Join Hologic’s Breast & Skeletal Health division and help advance electronics for medical imaging systems. This Senior Electrical Engineer, NPD role is hands-on and lab-based, with regular onsite work in Newark, DE. You will move from electrical concept through prototyping and verification, then support manufacturing and field service with the technical depth expected in a regulated environment.

Compensation: USD 97,600 - 152,700 per year, bonus eligible. Final compensation depends on factors including relevant experience, skillset, knowledge, geography, education, business needs, and market demand.

What you’ll do

• Design, develop, and troubleshoot printed circuit assemblies, power distribution, cables, and harnesses for medical imaging products.
• Own portions of the electrical design process from concept through design transfer, verification, and support of manufacturing and field service.
• Specify, select, and test electronic and electro-mechanical components to meet product requirements and regulatory standards.
• Build and maintain prototypes, test fixtures, and test setups; define test methods and conditions to qualify designs.
• Provide technical support for manufacturing and service issues, including root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Create and maintain design documentation such as schematics, requirements, specifications, verification reports, and ECNs, aligned with design control procedures.
• Collaborate with mechanical, systems, software, compliance, reliability, and manufacturing teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and support continuous improvement initiatives including cost reduction, quality, EOL, CAPA, and VIP.
