Senior Hardware Engineer - Cardiovascular Ultrasound

About the role

GE HealthCare is looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer to join its Cardiovascular Ultrasound team in Horten, Norway. You will help integrate hardware into complete cardiovascular ultrasound systems, from next-generation product development to installed-base support, reliability improvements and long-term platform sustainability. The role suits engineers with deep expertise in one hardware discipline who want to broaden their scope while working with colleagues across electronics, embedded hardware, computing platforms, FPGA, power architecture, firmware and systems engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Backend processing (BEP) and computing platform development, including CPU architecture, BIOS development and platform firmware integration
• Board-level electronics design, schematic design, PCB reviews, component selection and system integration
• FPGA integration and digital interfaces, power architecture, power distribution, batteries and power management
• Hardware/software integration, system bring-up, platform verification and functional testing
• High-speed interfaces such as PCI Express, SerDes and optical links, and interface definitions
• EMC, signal integrity and platform-level verification
• Interfaces to operator consoles, displays, controls and external I/O
• Technical investigations, root-cause analysis and corrective actions for manufacturing, field service and customer issues
• Obsolescence management, component substitution and risk-based design changes
• Lifecycle management of existing platforms, system architecture decisions and early identification of technical risks
• Collaboration with electronics, digital/FPGA, systems integration and mechanical engineers, and with software, sourcing, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, supply chain and supplier partners

Required profile

• Master's degree or PhD in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Computer Science or a related field
• Approximately 5-10 years of experience developing, integrating, validating or sustaining complex electronic products or systems
• Strong technical expertise in at least one relevant hardware discipline
• Experience with multidisciplinary engineering teams, strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a passion for learning new technologies

Required skills

• At least one hardware discipline (electronics, embedded hardware, computing platforms, FPGA, power architecture, firmware or systems engineering)
• Beneficial but not required: medical-device development, regulated industries, safety-critical systems, reliability engineering, system integration, FPGA-based platforms, embedded computing, IEC 60601 and ISO 14971 compliance, engineering documentation and design traceability
