• Understanding of control systems engineering, feedback systems, closed‑loop control or signal processing.
• Experience planning and conducting product testing, experimentation or verification activities.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make sound technical decisions using incomplete information.
• Ability to work effectively in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments while maintaining sound engineering judgement.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams.
• Preferred Experience developing wearable, consumer electronics, medical device or sensing‑enabled products.
• Experience with closed‑loop control systems and embedded control algorithms.
• Exposure to pneumatic systems, airflow management, valves, pumps, blowers or pressure‑control technologies.
• Experience with modelling, simulation or control‑system analysis.
• Exposure to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), fluid mechanics or airflow simulation.
• Interest or experience in acoustics, fluid dynamics or electro‑mechanical systems.
• Experience working within innovation, research, start‑up or rapid prototyping environments.
• Familiarity with regulated product development environments and quality systems.

Responsibilities

• Drive the development of exploratory sleep-related products, embedded systems and technology concepts from early ideas through to functional prototypes.
• Design, prototype and integrate electromechanical subsystems incorporating physiological sensing, embedded electronics, firmware, signal processing and wireless connectivity.
• Develop and evaluate closed‑loop control systems for next‑generation sleep technologies.
• Support the development of pneumatic and airflow‑management technologies, including valves, pumps, blowers and pressure‑control systems.
• Plan and conduct bench testing, experimentation and early‑stage verification activities to guide technical direction.
• Analyse experimental results and translate findings into product and technology improvements.
• Contribute to simulation, modelling and system‑level investigations supporting product innovation.
• Debug hardware, sensing, firmware and system integration challenges.
• Work closely with Industrial Design, Systems Engineering, Electronics, Firmware, Software, Algorithms, Clinical, Manufacturing, Quality and Regulatory teams.
• Participate in multidisciplinary product development activities from concept exploration through prototype evaluation.
