Job Description:
Job Description Job Description A top medical device client is
seeking a highly experienced, direct hire Control Systems Engineer
to lead the design and development of advanced control algorithms
for life-saving and life-enhancing medical technologies in Irvine,
CA. This is a senior-level role within our R&D Algorithm
Development team, requiring deep expertise in control theory,
signal processing, physiological systems, and algorithm development
for medical device innovation. This is a critical role in shaping
the future of intelligent, closed-loop medical systems that improve
patient outcomes through precision, automation, and real-time
responsiveness. Key Responsibilities: Apply control engineering,
scientific, mathematical, signal processing, and human physiology
experience to develop algorithms for critical care patient
monitoring and drug delivery products, with specific focus on
system automation and closed-loop control. Lead the design and
implementation of control algorithms for medical devices, including
closed-loop systems, adaptive control, and model predictive
control. Develop simulation models (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink) to
validate control strategies and optimize system performance.
Analyze physiological signals and sensor data to inform algorithm
design and improve device responsiveness. Lead research and
feasibility of new concepts, conduct animal studies and clinical
data collection, analyze and interpret clinical data, draw
conclusions and prepare final reports and presentations. Conduct
verification and validation testing in accordance with FDA and ISO
standards. Support regulatory submissions by documenting algorithm
design, performance, and safety considerations. Guide and mentor
engineers on new and emerging technologies and projects.
Requirements: A bachelor’s degree in an Engineering or Scientific
field with a minimum of 12 years of experience is required. Or a
master’s degree in an Engineering or Scientific field with a
minimum of 11 years of experience is required. Or a PhD or
equivalent in an Engineering or Scientific field with a minimum of
8 years of experience is required. PhD highly preferred. Recognized
as an expert within the field of Control Engineering. Expert
knowledge and understanding of principles, theories, and concepts
of control engineering and system dynamics. Expert knowledge in
signal processing, system identification, mathematical modeling and
algorithm development. Demonstrated proficiency in design,
optimization, and validation of control systems and algorithms.
Strong experience with real-time signals, systems and sensors
integration. Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and C/C++ for embedded
systems. Real-time implementation and integration of control
algorithms. Strong background in human physiology and anatomy with
specific knowledge of cardiovascular hemodynamics and vital signs
parameters. Experience with physiological waveforms and parameters.
Experience in modeling of the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of
drugs. Experience with design and implementation of physiologic
closed-loop controlled medical devices, such as insulin delivery
systems, mechanical ventilators and anesthesia delivery systems.
Experience with FDA design controls and IEC software lifecycle
processes. Knowledge of machine learning and AI techniques applied
to control systems. Requires a high-energy individual who has
excellent teamwork, partnering, and negotiation skills. Strong
communication skills are needed to facilitate working with BD teams
and executives, third parties, physician collaborators and
principal investigators. Salary of $200,000 to $250,000 annually
bonus and stock options
