Senior RF Systems Engineer - Wireless Medical Devices

About the role

GE Healthcare is looking for an experienced Senior RF Systems Engineer to help create the next generation of wireless medical technologies. You will shape complex RF systems from early concept and architecture through detailed design, verification, certification and product release, joining the Parameters and Wearables Hardware team. The work uses standard and proprietary radio technologies for patient monitoring applications.

Key responsibilities

• Own radio system design from concept, architecture and technology selection through implementation, verification, manufacturing support and product release.
• Develop and evaluate RF solutions for wireless medical systems, including Bluetooth, MBAN and Wi-Fi radio implementations, antennas, RF front ends and related circuitry.
• Design RF hardware, including schematics, PCB layouts, antenna integration, simulations and technical reviews.
• Plan and execute testing from low-level RF RX and TX parameters to radio system-level and wireless performance.
• Support and drive product-level radio certification activities such as FCC and RED.
• Work with hardware, software, systems, quality, regulatory, manufacturing and external partners to troubleshoot EMC, antenna performance and wireless connectivity issues.
• Contribute to early-stage technology development and help shape the RF roadmap for future wearable and patient monitoring solutions.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Telecommunications or an equivalent field.
• Strong understanding of radio technology from components to complete radio systems, with knowledge of the radio link layer and higher-level system functions.
• Significant hands-on experience in radio systems and RF development, preferably including at least one product taken from concept to release.
• Ability to work independently and communicate complex RF topics clearly to engineering, quality, regulatory, manufacturing and program stakeholders.
• Proficiency in English, spoken and written.
• Desired: Master's degree, experience in highly regulated industries such as medical devices, aerospace, defense or industrial safety-critical products, and experience with low-power wireless, wearables, miniaturized electronics or antenna design.

Required skills

• Practical knowledge of RF design tools and workflows, including system, circuit and EM simulators, schematic and layout editors and measurement tools.
• Knowledge of RF and EMC risk analysis, regulatory certification and design documentation under a quality management system (desirable).
