Job Description
Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer — Interventional X-Ray Systems Omega Medical Imaging — Sanford, FL Position Summary Omega Medical Imaging is seeking a highly capable
Principal Electrical / Systems Engineer to support the design, integration, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of advanced interventional X-ray imaging systems. This role requires a naturally curious, hands-on problem solver who can move fluidly between board-level design, system-level debugging, production support, field service escalation, EMC troubleshooting, documentation, and supplier technical management.
This is not a narrow design-only position. The successful candidate will become one of Omega’s technical experts on interventional X-ray systems, helping support new product development, manufacturing, service, regulatory readiness, and legacy system sustainment.
Key Responsibilities Electrical and Systems Engineering - Design, review, debug, and sustain electrical hardware for robotic interventional X-ray imaging systems.
- Develop and troubleshoot analog, digital, mixed-signal, and embedded hardware designs.
- Support PCB/CCA design, schematic capture, board layout review, bring-up, verification, and production release.
- Design and troubleshoot FPGA/programmable logic functions using Verilog and/or VHDL.
- Support interfaces involving detectors, generators, video management systems, motion/control subsystems, operator controls, I/O, and safety-related circuits.
- Develop robust subsystem-level test strategies for circuit card assemblies and system-level integration.
- Help transition designs from engineering prototype to production-ready configuration.
EMC / EMI / Regulatory Robustness - Diagnose and resolve EMC, EMI, grounding, shielding, filtering, and cabling issues.
- Apply good design practices for medical electrical equipment, including noise immunity, leakage current awareness, isolation, grounding, and regulatory robustness.
- Support EMC testing, pre-compliance troubleshooting, and design changes needed to pass regulatory testing.
- Contribute to risk reduction and design documentation needed for medical device compliance.
Production and Field Service Support - Provide advanced technical support to manufacturing, test, and field service teams.
- Act as a Tier 4 technical escalation resource for Field Service Engineers and internal technicians.
- Troubleshoot urgent field and production issues involving interventional X-ray systems.
- Communicate clearly with service personnel, technicians, engineers, suppliers, and leadership.
- Teach and mentor others so that manufacturing and service teams become more self-sufficient.
- Develop practical troubleshooting guides, work instructions, checklists, test procedures, and service documentation.
Debugger and Problem Solver - Serve as a high-level technical troubleshooter for complex product, production, and field issues.
- Diagnose system-level failures involving hardware, firmware, cabling, grounding, noise, timing, communication, power, video, and subsystem interactions.
- Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, current probes, DMMs, protocol analyzers, and other lab tools to isolate root cause.
- Lead structured root-cause analysis and corrective action for difficult or intermittent technical problems.
- Remain composed when systems are down, information is incomplete, or the problem is not obvious.
Documentation, Test, and Supplier Support - Create clear, detailed, user-friendly engineering documentation, work instructions, checklists, and test procedures.
- Design or support test fixtures for subsystem and circuit card verification.
- Assist with verification, validation, design transfer, and production readiness activities.
- Provide technical oversight for suppliers, including review and validation of hardware/software updates.
- Support technical interface activities with key subsystem suppliers.
Required Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical discipline.
- Significant hands-on experience in electrical design, system integration, and troubleshooting.
- Strong analog and digital circuit design experience.
- PCB schematic and layout experience.
- Experience with board bring-up, circuit card troubleshooting, and design verification.
- Experience with FPGA or programmable logic design using Verilog and/or VHDL.
- Strong lab/debug skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power supplies, current probes, and related tools.
- Ability to diagnose complex system-level failures, not just isolated circuit issues.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to engineers, technicians, service personnel, and leadership.
- Strong documentation discipline.
Preferred Qualifications - Experience with medical electrical equipment or regulated product development.
- Experience with IEC 60601, EMC testing, safety testing, or medical device design controls.
- Experience with interventional X-ray, fluoroscopy, imaging systems, detectors, generators, video systems, or motion/control systems.
- Experience supporting production, field service, or customer-facing technical escalation.
- Experience developing test fixtures, subsystem test procedures, and production test strategies.
- Experience with EMI/EMC troubleshooting, grounding, shielding, filtering, and cable design.
- Experience working with suppliers on technical issue resolution and validation of design updates.
Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is:
- Naturally curious and driven to understand how systems really work.
- A master debugger who enjoys hard problems and does not stop at superficial answers.
- Comfortable working from schematic to system level.
- Calm and methodical when problems are urgent or ambiguous.
- Strong enough technically to challenge assumptions, but humble enough to keep learning.
- A clear communicator who can support Field Service Engineers, manufacturing technicians, suppliers, and leadership.
- Willing to become a true subject-matter expert in interventional X-ray systems.
- Equally comfortable designing new hardware, fixing legacy issues, writing a test procedure, helping a technician, or chasing an EMC problem.
Position Type Full-time, on-site or primarily on-site engineering role due to the hands-on nature of system troubleshooting, lab work, production support, and medical imaging equipment integration.
