DEKA Research and Development is seeking a Junior Control Systems Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will contribute to the design and development of cutting-edge automation and robotics systems across two key domains: embedded medical devices and PLC-driven manufacturing automation. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers to bring innovative prototypes from concept to reality.

Responsibilities

Embedded Medical Device Development
  • Design and develop control systems for prototype medical devices running on embedded compute platforms
  • Implement real-time control algorithms on embedded targets (e.g., ARM Cortex, FPGA, or DSP-based systems)
  • Write and validate embedded firmware in C/C++ for safety-critical medical applications
  • Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to integrate sensors, actuators, and embedded hardware into functional prototypes
  • Support design verification and validation (V&V) activities in compliance with medical device development standards.
  • Create and maintain system requirements, software design documentation, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)
Manufacturing Automation
  • Develop, program, and commission PLC-based automation systems for internal manufacturing equipment
  • Integrate industrial sensors, drives, servo systems, and actuators into automation solutions
  • Troubleshoot and optimize existing automation systems to improve reliability and throughput
  • Collaborate with manufacturing engineers to translate process requirements into automated control solutions
  • Document control system architectures, ladder logic, and functional specifications
General
  • Apply linear, non-linear, and optimal control techniques across both embedded and industrial platforms
  • Develop and maintain control systems for automation and robotic products
  • Support testing, debugging, and continuous improvement of prototype and production systems
Required Qualifications
  • B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or Biomedical Engineering
  • Foundational knowledge of linear and optimal controls theory
  • Experience applying control algorithms in robotics or automation applications
  • Proficiency in Python and C/C++
  • Familiarity with embedded systems concepts (real-time OS, hardware peripherals, firmware development)
  • Experience with automation sensors, drives, and actuators
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills
Preferred Qualifications
  • PLC programming experience (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or equivalent)
  • Exposure to medical device development processes or regulated industries (FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 62304)
  • Experience with real-time operating systems
  • Familiarity with communication protocols used in embedded and industrial systems (CAN, SPI, I2C, EtherCAT, Modbus, PROFINET)
  • Knowledge of design verification and validation (V&V) methodologies
  • Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and engineering documentation practices
