Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about the hardest board you debugged. How did you find the problem?

What they are checking: Whether they have real hands-on debug skill with scopes and analysis, not just schematic knowledge.

Tell me about a design you made reusable for other projects.

What they are checking: Whether they think beyond one product and improve shared designs, which the posting values.

Tell me about a technical decision where you had to convince others your approach was right.

What they are checking: Whether they can influence technical direction with evidence and listen when they might be wrong.

What would you do

A junior engineer's design review has several issues. How do you give feedback?

What they are checking: Whether they can mentor clearly and kindly, since this role includes guiding other engineers.

About the work

Walk me through how you would design an analog signal chain from a sensor to an ADC for a low-noise measurement.

What they are checking: Whether they think about gain, noise, filtering and converter choice as one system rather than separate parts.

How do you approach grounding and layout on a board that mixes sensitive analog circuits with fast digital logic?

What they are checking: Whether they know how to keep digital noise out of analog signals, which is central to mixed-signal design.

What changes about your design choices when the board sits in or near an MRI system?

What they are checking: Whether they consider magnetic fields, RF interference and material limits in a harsh environment.

How do you design a power circuit that is quiet enough for a precision analog section?

What they are checking: Whether they understand regulator choice, switching noise and decoupling in a practical way.

How do you choose between a microcontroller, DSP or programmable logic for a control task?

What they are checking: Whether they can weigh cost, timing and flexibility instead of defaulting to what they know.

How do medical device design controls change how you document and verify a circuit board?

What they are checking: Whether they understand regulated design, where verification evidence matters as much as a working board.

Job Description Summary Join GE HealthCare and help develop the advanced electronics behind next-generation Magnetic Resonance imaging systems. As a Senior Electrical Engineer on our Digital Controls & Mixed Signal Engineering team, you will design and debug complex circuit boards and electronic subsystems incorporating analog circuitry, power, signal conditioning, data converters, communications, and embedded digital devices. We are seeking a strong, hands-on hardware engineer with sound technical judgment and experience turning challenging designs into reliable products. This role also provides opportunities to lead projects, mentor engineers, influence technical decisions, and improve reusable designs and engineering practices. Candidates may come from many industries and technical backgrounds. Relevant experience may involve microcontrollers, processors, DSPs, SoCs, ASICs, or programmable logic. FPGA or HDL development experience is not required. We do not expect candidates to have experience with every technology listed. We encourage you to apply based on your engineering strengths and interest in learning adjacent technologies. Job Description Essential Responsibilities • Design, implement, and verify mixed-signal circuit boards and electronic subsystems for advanced MRI platforms. • Develop hardware integrating analog signal chains, data converters, power circuitry, communication interfaces, and embedded or complex digital devices. • Perform component selection, schematic development, circuit analysis, design reviews, board bring-up, laboratory characterization, debugging, and system integration. • Define and validate electrical interfaces across hardware, programmable devices, firmware, software, mechanical, and systems engineering. • Develop verification approaches and lead or contribute to root-cause investigations. • Support signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, reliability, testability, and manufacturability activities. • Support hardware throughout the product lifecycle, from early architecture through production and field support. • Share knowledge through design reviews, documentation, collaborative problem solving, and mentoring. • Technical leadership may include leading a project, owning a difficult subsystem, improving design practice, mentoring another engineer, or contributing deep expertise to a challenging investigation. Formal people-management experience is not required. Required Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. • Five or more years of experience designing and debugging electronic hardware. • Demonstrated strength in mixed-signal board or subsystem design. • Hands-on experience in several areas such as analog signal conditioning, sensors, data converters, embedded processors, microcontrollers, power electronics, controls, or communications. • Experience integrating analog circuitry with a microcontroller, processor, DSP, SoC, ASIC, programmable-logic device, or similar digital device. • Experience with schematic development, component selection, board bring-up, laboratory testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis. • Familiarity with embedded interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, USB, PCIe, or comparable technologies. Preferred Qualifications • Experience leading a hardware project or major subsystem. • Experience with precision analog circuitry, sensors, ADCs, DACs, power, EMC, signal integrity, or high-speed digital interfaces. • Experience with SPICE or similar analysis tools. • Experience developing products in medical devices, professional power tools, industrial controls, robotics, automotive, aerospace, defense, scientific instrumentation, test and measurement, or similar industries. • Experience with regulated, safety-critical, high-reliability, harsh-environment, or high-volume products. Work Model This hybrid position requires a minimum of three days per week on site in Waukesha. On-site work supports laboratory development, board bring-up, system integration, and collaboration with engineering partners. We expect all employees to live and breathe our behaviors: to act with humility and build trust; lead with transparency; deliver with focus, and drive ownership –always with unyielding integrity. Our total rewards are designed to unlock your ambition by giving you the boost and flexibility you need to turn your ideas into world-changing realities. Our salary and benefits are everything you’d expect from an organization with global strength and scale, and you’ll be surrounded by career opportunities in a culture that fosters care, collaboration and support. #LI-MA4 We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
