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.

Master Debugging and Problem Solving

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.

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.

X-Ray System Expertise

Develop deep expertise in Omega’s interventional X-ray platforms, including system architecture, generator interfaces, detector integration, video systems, imaging workflow, subsystem communication, and clinical use cases.
Understand how electrical design decisions affect image quality, system reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance.
Become a trusted technical resource for difficult cross-functional questions involving engineering, service, production, quality, regulatory, and suppliers.

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.
