Electronics Design Manager

Electronics Design Manager

PulseMedica is seeking a hands-on technical leader to help shape the future of vision technology — right from the heart of Canada’s innovation ecosystem. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, this is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced engineer who wants to lead, build, and make global impact in the medical device field. Candidates based elsewhere in Canada may be considered for a hybrid role with frequent travel to our Edmonton office.

Reporting directly to the CTO, you’ll guide a talented team of engineers while contributing your own expertise in analog/mixed-signal and FPGA design. This is a true player-coach role — where the candidate will manage the Electronics Design team while also overseeing technical execution and providing hands-on contribution.

We welcome applicants from across Canada and internationally. For Canada-based candidates, PulseMedica supports a hybrid working arrangement with regular onsite presence in Edmonton. For the right candidate, we offer relocation assistance, immigration support, and a chance to be part of a company that’s transforming ophthalmic care worldwide.

About Us

PulseMedica is redefining the landscape of ophthalmic technology by developing breakthrough imaging and laser technologies for ophthalmic disease. Recognized as a Great Place to Work for four consecutive years, we’ve built a culture where innovation thrives and multidisciplinary teams solve complex challenges at speed. Our technology blends real‑time computer vision, deep learning, and 3D imaging with high‑precision laser systems to create new treatment solutions to prevent vision loss. By uniting cutting‑edge research with scalable engineering, PulseMedica is creating treatment solutions that position the company to be at the forefront of the next generation in eye care.

The Opportunity

As the Electronics Design Manager, you’ll lead the design and delivery of complex, safety-critical electronics for our advanced ophthalmic systems. You’ll provide both management of Electrical Engineers and technical oversight. Technical oversight will involve driving architecture, guiding design reviews, and mentoring engineers. You’ll work cross-functionally across software, optics, mechanical, and systems teams to deliver cohesive, high-performance systems that meet regulatory and quality standards.

If you’re a builder, leader, and mentor who thrives in dynamic, high-impact environments, this is your opportunity to grow a team and technology that will define the future of vision care.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a growing team of electronics engineers.
• Set the technical roadmap for electronics architecture and integration.
• Contribute hands-on to FPGA and/or analog/mixed-signal design.
• Establish scalable processes for design reviews, documentation, and compliance.
• Collaborate across disciplines to ensure system-level performance and reliability.
• Drive continuous improvement and foster a culture of innovation and mentorship.
• Support regulatory, verification, and risk management activities (e.g., FMEA, ISO 14971).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical, Biomedical, or related engineering field.

Discover our full range of relocation jobs with comprehensive support packages to help you relocate and settle in your new location.

• 7+ years of progressive experience in electronics design related to medical or high-reliability systems.
• Proven experience leading and mentoring engineers or small teams.
• Strong technical depth in one or more of:
• Analog/mixed-signal design (low-noise, safety-critical systems), or
• FPGA/digital design (from specification to verification).
• Familiarity with embedded firmware and communication interfaces.
• Understanding of regulatory and safety-critical design standards.
• Strategic thinker with a hands-on approach — comfortable balancing leadership with design execution.
• Startup mindset: adaptive, collaborative, and ready to grow with the team.

Anticipated Start Date: as soon as a suitable candidate is found

Duration: Full time Permanent (40 hours per week)
