It’s Time to Join Stryker!

Why Join Us?

At Stryker Endoscopy, we’re not just testing products — we’re redefining how they perform in the real world. We’re looking for analytical problem solvers who go beyond validation, characterizing designs, identifying root causes, and recommending comprehensive improvements to prevent future issues. You’ll think like a user, design and test with purpose, and collaborate across disciplines to develop products that improve patient outcomes and empower caregivers worldwide.

What You Will Do

As a Senior R&D Test Engineer, Electrical, you’ll join a close-knit, cross-functional R&D team that experiments with prototypes, validates designs, and ensures the safety, performance, and reliability of next-generation surgical imaging products. You’ll act as both a hands-on engineer and a key technical partner, helping transform concepts into real-world solutions. You will:

  • Lead and execute test plans for electrical subsystems and integrated products from prototype through verification.
  • Develop and document test methods, protocols, and reports in compliance with design control and quality system requirements.
  • Build and debug test fixtures, leveraging coding or automation tools (Python, LabVIEW, C/C++).
  • Provide early design feedback to cross-functional teams and collaborate closely with design engineers to resolve technical challenges.
  • Use standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, protocol analyzers) to perform detailed electrical characterization and reliability testing.
  • Guide or mentor others (interns, specialists, or peers) while independently managing your test activities and timelines.
  • Contribute to system-level test development that spans hardware, firmware, and software integration.
  • Partner with teams across sites and occasionally travel to support cross-location initiatives.

What You Will Need

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • 2+ years of related engineering experience

Preferred:

  • Experience in medical device or other regulated industries
  • Hands-on test engineering experience with analog and digital circuitry
  • Proficiency with electrical lab instruments and automated test scripting (Python, C/C++, or LabVIEW)
  • Experience developing, executing, and documenting component- or system-level testing
  • Familiarity with defect tracking and documentation tools (e.g., Jira)
  • Understanding of design controls, reliability testing, and quality systems
  • Strong communication skills, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
