JOB TITLE: Junior Electrical Engineer
LOCATION: Hawthorne, NY (on-site)
TYPE: Full time, regular
COMPENSATION: $70,000 – $95,000/yr

Clarapath is a medical robotics company based in Westchester County, NY. Our mission is to transform and modernize laboratory workflows with the goal of improving patient care, decreasing costs, and enhancing the quality and consistency of laboratory processes. Section Star™ by Clarapath is a ground‑breaking electro‑mechanical system designed to elevate and automate the workflow in histology laboratories and provide pathologists with the tissue samples they need to make the most accurate diagnoses.

Through the use of innovative technology, data, and precision analytics, Clarapath is paving the way for a new era of laboratory medicine.

The Junior Electrical Engineer will be working alongside our existing electrical engineers, mechanical engineers and software engineers on medical device development. This role is multi‑disciplinary with technical responsibility for our device electrical system, PCBs and wiring diagrams, providing continuous feedback on the development process and accepting feedback as well. It is also expected that some software development for the device will be performed by the Junior Electrical Engineer.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of hardware electrical design and exposure to software development for hardware. We are looking for a team player who views medical device development as a competitive advantage.
