Job Description:

The Staff Controls Engineer reports to the Chief Technology Officer and serves as the technical lead and supervisor for the design, architecture, and verification of automatic control systems across CorVent ventilator platforms. This role provides strategic direction for control system development, ensures compliance with medical device standards, and leads the Principal Control Engineer and supporting staff in the delivery of robust, reliable, and safe ventilator control performance. The Staff Controls Engineer defines the system-level control philosophy and continuously drives innovation in feedback, estimation, and adaptive control methods.

Job Responsibility:

Provide technical leadership for all control system design, architecture, and integration activities
Supervise and mentor the Principal Control Engineer and other team members, ensuring quality, consistency, and regulatory compliance
Define performance objectives for dynamic control of ventilator subsystems (blower, valves, sensors, patient interface)
Lead model-based design (Matlab/Simulink, Stateflow) for algorithm development, verification, and code generation
Direct the synthesis, simulation, and validation of feedback and feedforward control systems, including nonlinear and adaptive methods
Conduct uncertainty and sensitivity analyses, including propagation of error for dynamic system robustness
Specify and validate filter designs (IIR, FIR, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, differentiators) for signal conditioning and sensor processing
Apply advanced estimation and prediction methods: least squares, observers, algebraic methods, and Kalman filters
Lead formal design reviews, test planning, and risk management activities per ISO 14971 and FDA design control
Communicate technical status, issues, and progress to the CTO and executive leadership
Oversee preparation of design documentation for DHF, RMF, and regulatory submissions
Promote continuous improvement in modeling, simulation, and algorithm verification practices

Requirements:

Ph.D. or M.S.E. in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Applied Physics
Minimum 10+ years of experience designing feedback control systems, preferably in medical or safety-critical applications
Mastery of feedback control theory: continuous, discrete, state-space, and frequency-domain design
Deep experience in: Nonlinear control methods (windup prevention, direct and indirect adaptive control, nonlinear optimization)
Filter design (IIR, FIR, LP, HP, BP, notch, differentiators)
Uncertainty & sensitivity analysis
propagation of error
Skilled in Matlab/Simulink modeling, scripting, and automatic code generation for embedded systems
Demonstrated success leading technical teams and coordinating cross-functional projects
Excellent communication, documentation, and leadership skills

Nice to have:

Pneumatic, electromechanical, and thermodynamic system modeling
Proportional valve and blower control experience
Motor control, including field-oriented control (FOC) of brushless DC motors
Strong understanding of IEC 60601-1, IEC 62304, and ISO 13485 processes
Experience in model predictive control (MPC), edge AI integration, or adaptive learning algorithms
