Electronics & Embedded Prototyping Engineer

SurgeonsLab | Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India | On-site | Full-time | 0–7 years | 2 openings

Some of the world's leading medical-technology companies use SurgeonsLab systems in their R&D labs and in front of their customers. We design and build the electronics behind calibration rigs, test systems, and demonstration platforms. We are looking for engineers who can take a loosely defined requirement and turn it into a working, tested, documented prototype, quickly and without wasting money.

ABOUT SURGEONSLAB: SurgeonsLab is an R&D and manufacturing company. We design and build electronic, electromechanical, and fluidic systems for global medical-technology companies. Our products are not regulated medical devices, but we build them to the quality standards our clients expect.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN 12 MONTHS: You will have taken real systems from a written requirement through schematic, PCB, firmware, a validated prototype and translated into a product. Each will have a test protocol anyone on the team can run, and a clear record of what every iteration cost and what it taught us.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN:

• Requirements to architecture: turn a client need into measurable specifications, block diagrams, component choices, and trade-offs before design begins.

• Schematic and PCB design: 2–4 layer boards in KiCad, Altium, or similar, following IPC-2221 and IPC-7351 practice. Prepare Gerbers, BOMs, and assembly drawings, and work with PCB fabricators.

• Fast, smart sourcing: source components through DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, element14, and local distributors. Check lifecycle, stock, lead time, landed cost into India, and second-source alternates.

• Board bring-up and firmware: bring up and debug boards, and write firmware in C/C++ for STM32, ESP32, or similar (GPIO, ADC, PWM, UART, I2C, SPI, sensor, motor, and pump control, calibration routines).

• Test protocols: write repeatable protocols that state what is measured, with which instrument, against which limit, and how results are recorded.

• Cost-aware iteration: plan each design spin around what it must prove, combine changes, prove fixes on the bench before re-spinning, and track cost per iteration.

• Documentation: version-controlled design files (Git), revision logs, test reports, and design-for-assembly feedback to the build team.

MUST HAVE

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in ECE, EEE, E&I, Mechatronics, Embedded Systems, or a related field.

• At least one PCB you designed that was fabricated (academic, personal, or professional).

• Firmware you wrote that ran on real hardware, not simulation only.

• Hands-on use of a multimeter, oscilloscope, bench power supply, and soldering station.

• Professional English: able to write clear test reports and speak with international engineering teams.

• Able to work on-site in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Candidates willing to relocate are welcome.

PREFERRED

• Experience in product development, electronics manufacturing (EMS), robotics, instrumentation, lab equipment, or test and measurement.

• SMD soldering and hot-air rework.

• Python for test automation or data logging.

• Working knowledge of IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001, ISO 9001, ESD control (ANSI/ESD S20.20), or safety and EMC concepts (IEC 61010-1, IEC 61326-1).

• Awareness of how ISO 13485 medical-device quality systems work, since our clients operate under them.

CERTIFICATIONS (A PLUS, NOT MANDATORY)

• IPC CID (Certified Interconnect Designer)

• IPC J-STD-001 or IPC-A-610 (CIS/CIT)

• IPC-7711/7721 rework and repair

• ESD control training (ANSI/ESD S20.20 or IEC 61340-5-1)

• ISO 9001 or ISO 13485 awareness or internal auditor

• Embedded or firmware certifications (ARM, STM32, or similar)

LANGUAGES

English is required. Tamil or other languages are welcome but not mandatory.

WHY JOIN

• Work on the full product cycle, from idea to tested prototype, not one narrow slice.

• R&D teams at global medical-technology companies use your works.

• A clear growth path toward systems engineering or product ownership.

• Freshers get structured mentoring. Experienced engineers get real design authority.

COMPENSATION

₹3.6 – 10 LPA, based on experience and technical assessment.

• Our hiring process includes a hands-on practical assessment.
