  • Implement and tune controllers using classical, modern, and nonlinear control techniques
  • Apply nonlinear control methods including windup prevention, direct and indirect adaptive control, and nonlinear optimization
  • Design and evaluate signal filters: IIR, FIR, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, and differentiators
  • Perform uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, including propagation of error, to evaluate design robustness
  • Utilize real-time estimation and prediction techniques (least squares, observers, Kalman filters)
  • Support embedded software integration, verification testing, and algorithm performance tuning
  • Conduct data analysis and root cause investigations using simulation-based methods
  • Contribute to design documentation, verification reports, and risk management files per ISO 14971 and 21 CFR 820
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and provide technical mentorship to junior staff

Requirements

  • M.S.E. or Ph.D. in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering
  • Minimum 5+ years of experience designing, analyzing, and implementing control systems
  • Strong foundation in feedback and estimation theory: transfer functions, state-space, discrete-time design
  • Proven skills in: Nonlinear control (windup prevention, adaptive control, nonlinear optimization)
  • Filter design (IIR, FIR, LP, HP, BP, notch, differentiators)
  • Uncertainty & sensitivity analysis
  • propagation of error
  • Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink, scripting, Stateflow, and model-based design workflows
  • Experience with dynamic simulation, real-time testing, and embedded system integration
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills, capable of working independently and collaboratively

Nice to have

  • Experience with pneumatic systems, flow control, proportional valves, and blowers
  • Familiarity with embedded code generation and integration
  • Knowledge of IEC 60601-1, IEC 62304, and ISO 14971 design control standards
  • Experience with model predictive or adaptive control systems for medical devices
