Principal Electrical Engineer

Third Pole is on a mission to expand the lifesaving benefits of Nitric Oxide inhalation therapy, making it accessible to millions of respiratory challenged newborns and adults around the world. This is a rare opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing team that makes a huge social impact, touching the lives of those we love and care about most.

We are a fast‑paced startup developing a game‑changing technology that generates Nitric Oxide on demand at the patient location from the air we breathe. Our community is grounded in collaboration, diverse ideas, commitment and transparency. We believe we are only successful if we all cross the finish line together.

Principal Electrical Engineer (Full‑time, Onsite – Waltham, MA)

The Principal Electrical Engineer leads and provides expertise in the development, characterization, and testing of control software and hardware for medical devices that generate Nitric Oxide. The role involves designing complex hardware and systems, optimizing hardware and software performance, and troubleshooting issues to ensure compliance with medical product requirements.

Responsibilities

• Architect electrical subsystems for Nitric oxide generation, gas delivery control, and safety control.
• Develop analog and digital circuits for a complex system that generates nitric oxide gas, controls gas delivery, includes high‑voltage generation, current sensors, pneumatic control, environmental sensors, and gas delivery mechanisms.
• Generate and implement software / firmware algorithms in C, including PID control loops for embedded software control and monitoring of complex systems, therapy delivery control, Nitric Oxide generation, and pneumatics.
• Contribute to the development of system architectures for respiratory devices using modeling, hardware‑in‑the‑loop simulation, and actual devices to develop, debug and test complex systems to meet required performance.
• Develop and model complex cross‑functional systems.
• Perform advanced risk analyses using FMEA and fault tree methods; work with other engineering disciplines to develop, implement, and verify system solutions.
• Evaluate product performance on an ongoing basis and initiate and evaluate required changes to the design to improve and optimize performance.
• Interface with internal and external clinicians, physicians, and thought leaders to create innovative products and features.
• Ensure adherence to company quality system, product specifications, industry standards, and quality and regulatory procedures and requirements.
• Maintain accurate documentation of concepts, designs, drawings, and processes through lab notebooks or other methods.
