Who We Are

Our Client transforms radiopharmaceuticals from diagnosing cancer to actively controlling delivery of external-beam radiotherapy by leveraging individual tumor biology. Designated an FDA Breakthrough Device, biology-guided radiotherapy automates targeting and motion management to overcome long-standing barriers preventing definitive radiotherapy for metastatic disease. In strategic collaborations with radiopharmaceutical companies, RefleXion is co-developing and co-commercializing disease-specific radiotracers for difficult to treat late-stage cancers.

About This Role

Reporting to the Director of Electrical Systems, the Electrical Systems (ES) Manager (FPGA) will be part of a team of talented Electrical Engineering Managers and Staff Engineers in radiotherapy treatment delivery, planning and medical imaging. The ES Manager is responsible for the design and architecture of their x86, ARM and Xilinx MPSoC embedded computing platforms and the implementation of FPGA firmware. On a daily basis the ES Manager leads a team of FPGA and firmware developers and oversees their architectural and implementation effort. The ES Manager is responsible for technical documentation, requirements and purchase specifications for any (sub-)systems that might be outsourced to third-party designers or consultants.

This position will suit a technically savvy and collaborative individual who thrives on solving complex problems in embedded systems and FPGA design and enjoys learning about how things work and challenging the status quo to improve the design, efficiency, and existing processes. A successful ES Manager has good collaboration skills to work with a multi-disciplinary team of hardware & software engineers, product managers, manufacturing teams, and service engineers to support the development and troubleshooting of the embedded systems for their System. The ES Manager will also engage on any issue necessary to ship products to customers of the highest quality and reliability.

What You Will Be Doing

• Manage a team of Electrical Engineers who design and build the FPGA firmware, device drivers, and Embedded Computers (x86 and ARM) for their biology-guided radiotherapy system.
• Define architecture and support FPGA IP implementation in VHDL, Verilog, SystemC, and/or High-Level Synthesis
• Work with designs with computing platforms with computing elements such as CPUs, GPUs, memory, and disks, Work on existing designs and develop future-generation computing platforms.
• Perform bring-up, debug, and validation of FPGA and PCBA designs to achieve functional and performance goals.
• Understanding different layers of real-time operating systems (RTOS), like bootloaders, board support packages (BSP), and kernels, and how the choice of platform will affect the system.
• Responsible for defining, implementing, and verifying end-to-end embedded systems requirements and architecture.
• Partner closely with consultants, vendors, and third-party design services for timely delivery of (sub-)systems
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with cross-functional hardware, mechanical engineering, (embedded) software engineering, radiation sensing, product management, and manufacturing teams.
• Continuously drive process improvements and introduce innovative concepts and ideas leading to an increase in the efficiency of the product development pipeline
• Provide technical and professional coaching to the Embedded Systems team-members
• Release design changes using Engineering Change Orders.
• Write and review engineering specifications and design descriptions at the product and subsystem levels.
• Other duties as assigned.
