R&D Hardware Electrical Engineer I

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health™ is our Purpose, and it’s no small feat. It takes the imagination and passion of all of us—from design and engineering to the manufacturing and marketing of our billions of MedTech products per year—to look at the impossible and find transformative solutions that turn dreams into possibilities.

The R&D Electrical Engineer supports the electrical and electronic hardware development activities of instrumented, automated diagnostic systems. A member of a project team, they work closely with other development engineering functions, software, mechanical, and systems. This role interfaces with manufacturing, regulatory, and quality teams to ensure product reliability, quality, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.

The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented Electrical Engineer with experience developing electrical and electronic hardware for complex, instrumented systems. They are a strong communicator and collaborator who works effectively across software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory teams.

They possess excellent technical writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills, including experience with root-cause investigation and failure analysis. Most importantly, they demonstrate a strong commitment to quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance, helping deliver high-performing diagnostic products that meet rigorous medical device standards.
