Convergence Medical ( is a Brisbane-based medical surgical robotics start-up developing the V01, the world's first arthroscopic surgical robot. Our mission is to transform arthroscopy (minimally invasive keyhole joint surgery) through advanced robotics, precision engineering, and clinical innovation.
We are expanding our team and seeking an Electrical Engineer with strong experience in embedded systems, power electronics, motor control, and compliance-driven product development. This role sits at the core of our robotics platform, supporting the electrical architecture of a world-first surgical system that must meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
The Role
As an Electrical Engineer at Convergence Medical, you will be responsible for the design, development, testing, and integration of electrical and electronic systems across the V01 robotic platform and supporting devices. This includes power distribution, motor control, sensing, embedded electronics, and system-level electrical architecture.
You will work closely with the robotics engineers, mechanical engineers, software developers, industrial designers, quality and regulatory teams, and surgeons to ensure all electrical systems are safe, robust, manufacturable, and compliant with international medical device standards. Your work will directly influence product performance, safety, and clinical usability.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys complex electromechanical systems, thrives in regulated environments, and wants to contribute to cutting‑edge surgical robotics with real‑world clinical impact.
Responsibilities
Electrical Systems Architecture & Design
* Lead the design of electrical architectures for robotic subsystems, including power distribution, control electronics, motor drives, and sensor integration.
* Define system‑level electrical requirements in alignment with mechanical design, software architecture, and clinical requirements.
Embedded Electronics & Control Systems
* Design, develop, and support embedded hardware for robotics applications, including microcontroller‑based systems, communication interfaces, and control circuitry.
* Support motor control, actuation systems, and real‑time feedback for robotic motion and positioning.
EMI/EMC Electrical Safety
* Design systems with a strong focus on EMI/EMC mitigation, grounding strategies, shielding, filtering, and layout best practices.
* Support testing and compliance with applicable standards (e.g. IEC 60601 series, EMC requirements), including preparation for pre‑compliance and formal certification.
Medical Device Electrical Design
* Develop electrical systems in accordance with medical device regulatory requirements, including patient safety, isolation, leakage currents, and risk management.
* Contribute to design documentation, risk analysis, and verification/validation activities required for regulatory submissions.
PCB Design & Documentation
* Support the design of schematics, PCB layouts, and manufacturing documentation for prototypes and production‑ready designs.
* Liaise with manufacturing partners to support DFM, testing, and redesigns as required.
* Build and test prototypes, diagnose issues, and iterate designs to improve reliability, safety, and performance.
* Develop test procedures and support integration testing across mechanical, software, and clinical subsystems.
Cross Functional Collaboration
* Work closely with robotics engineers, mechanical designers, industrial designers, software teams, and quality/regulatory specialists.
* Translate clinical and system requirements into robust electrical solutions aligned with usability, manufacturability, and compliance.
* Minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or related discipline.
* 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering, embedded systems, or electromechanical product development.
* Strong experience in electrical design for complex systems, including power, control, and sensing.
* Robotics or automation experience is highly desirable.
* Demonstrated experience with EMI and EMC design principles, including grounding, shielding, filtering, and compliance preparation.
* Experience in medical device electrical design or strong familiarity with safety‑critical or regulated product development.
* Experience producing test documentation, electrical schematics, and manufacturing files.
* Strong problem‑solving skills with hands‑on debugging and prototyping capability.
* Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering, clinical, and regulatory teams.
Highly Desirable
* Experience in surgical robotics, medical devices, or high‑reliability embedded systems.
* Familiarity with IEC 60601, EMC standards, and medical electrical safety requirements.
* Experience with motor control systems, encoders, and real‑time control electronics.
* Understanding of design verification, validation, and regulatory documentation (e.g. design history files, risk management).
* Experience integrating sensors, feedback systems, or electromechanical subsystems into robotic platforms.
Why Join Us?
* Be part of a mission‑driven start‑up developing world‑first surgical robotics technology.
* Design electrical systems that directly impact patient safety, surgeon performance, and clinical outcomes.
* Work alongside leading engineers, designers, and internationally recognised surgeons.
* Contribute to a platform that will redefine the future of minimally invasive surgery.
* Join a highly collaborative, innovative environment where your work has tangible real‑world impact.
