Overview
Job Title: Distinguished Control Engineer – Algorithm Development (Medical Devices) Location: Irvine, CA Department: R&D / Algorithm Engineering Reports To: Feras Hatib, VP R&D-Algorithms Employment Type: Full-Time Job Description Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced Control Systems Engineer to lead the design and development of advanced control algorithms for life-saving and life-enhancing medical technologies. 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 a 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 studies, conduct animal studies and clinical data collection, analyze and interpret clinical data, 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. Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering or Scientific field with a minimum of 12 years of experience; or Master’s degree with a minimum of 11 years; or PhD/equivalent with a minimum of 8 years. PhD highly preferred. Recognized as an expert in Control Engineering; strong knowledge of control theory, system dynamics, signal processing, system identification, modeling, and algorithm development. Experience with real-time signals, systems and sensors integration; proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and C/C++ for embedded systems; real-time implementation of control algorithms. Strong background in human physiology, cardiovascular hemodynamics, and vital signs; experience with pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of drugs; experience with physiologic closed-loop medical devices (e.g., insulin delivery, ventilators, anesthesia delivery). Experience with FDA design controls and IEC software lifecycle processes; knowledge of machine learning and AI techniques applied to control systems. Excellent communication, teamwork, negotiation skills; ability to work with cross-functional teams and executives. Why Join Us
