Job Description

Position : Controls Engineer II

Location : United States (On-site or Hybrid Options Available)

Salary Range : $88,000 – $121,000 per year (based on experience, location, and qualifications)

About the Opportunity

Step into a role where your engineering skills contribute directly to the development of life-enhancing technologies. Our client is seeking a driven Controls Engineer II to join our dynamic engineering team focused on the design and development of advanced electro-mechanical systems. From concept through production, your work will play a key role in shaping high-quality products that make a difference in people's lives.

Whether it’s solving complex technical challenges, optimizing embedded systems, or mentoring peers, you’ll be part of a mission-driven environment that fosters collaboration, professional growth, and innovative thinking.

Your Impact

You will join a forward-thinking group of engineers working to develop and maintain embedded control systems for high-precision devices. Your contributions will span from early-stage design and modeling to validation, verification, and continuous improvement of mission-critical systems.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working cross-functionally, thrives in fast-paced environments, and wants to be part of a team where every contribution matters.

Core Responsibilities

  • Develop embedded control systems for electromechanical components including pumps, motors, and sensors (e.g., temperature, weight, pressure)
  • Use MATLAB tools (Simulink, Stateflow) for modeling and simulation of system behavior and control logic
  • Define system-level requirements, produce design documentation, and lead verification test planning
  • Design alarm logic, set safety thresholds, and build feedback mechanisms into system architectures
  • Perform root-cause analysis and troubleshoot hardware / software integration issues
  • Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to align on development milestones and system performance goals
  • Participate in rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing
  • Support the entire product development lifecycle—from concept to post-launch optimization
  • Engage in systems-level thinking to ensure technical solutions align with clinical and user requirements
  • Lead feasibility studies, explore alternative designs, and champion continuous improvement efforts
  • Track dependencies, manage risks, and contribute to project scheduling activities

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical, Software, or similar discipline)
  • Minimum of 3 years’ industry experience in a systems, embedded, or controls engineering role
  • Hands-on experience with control system design in embedded environments
  • Proficiency in model-based development using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow
  • Solid understanding of control theory, including digital and non-linear systems
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear technical documentation and test protocols
  • Strong problem-solving capabilities, analytical thinking, and technical troubleshooting skills
  • Proven collaboration skills and ability to contribute within cross-functional project teams
  • Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal)
  • Preferred Background

  • Experience working on medical device development or in other regulated industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive, defense)
  • Familiarity with electromechanical systems and product lifecycle management
  • Exposure to systems engineering methodologies and verification / validation processes
  • Why Join them?

  • Work on technology that has real-world impact on health and wellbeing
  • Join a team that values creativity, problem-solving, and continuous learning
  • Enjoy a collaborative workplace where your ideas are heard and valued
  • Be part of a purpose-driven organization that supports career development and technical growth
  • Compensation and Benefits

    We offer a competitive salary package that reflects your experience and location, along with potential bonus opportunities. In addition, employees benefit from a comprehensive offering that includes :

  • Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Retirement savings plans with employer match
  • Paid time off and holidays
