Vantive is a vital organ therapy company on a mission to extend lives and expand possibilities for patients and care teams everywhere. For 70 years, our team has driven meaningful innovations in kidney care. As we build on our legacy, we are deepening our commitment to elevating the dialysis experience through digital solutions and advanced services, while looking beyond kidney care and investing in transforming vital organ therapies. Greater flexibility and efficiency in therapy administration for care teams, and longer, fuller lives for patients— that is what Vantive aspires to deliver.

We believe Vantive will not only build our leadership in the kidney care space, it will also offer meaningful work to those who join us. At Vantive, you will become part of a community of people who are focused, courageous and don’t settle for the mediocre. Each of us is driven to help improve patients’ lives worldwide. Join us in advancing our mission to extend lives and expand possibilities.

Vantive: A New Company Built on Our Legacy

Since last year, Baxter has been on a journey to separate our Kidney Care segment into a standalone company. Vantive* will build on our nearly 70-year legacy in acute therapies and home and in-center dialysis to provide best-in-class care to the people we serve. We believe Vantive will not only build our leadership in the kidney care space, it will also offer meaningful work to those who join us.

At Vantive, you will become part of a community of people who are focused, courageous and don’t settle for the mediocre. Each of us are driven to help improve patients’ lives worldwide. Join us as we revolutionize kidney care and other vital organ support.

JOB TITLE: Principal Engineer, Systems (Model based development)

Your role :

As a MDB leader for the Peritoneal dialysis systems the candidate will lead the development of embedded control software for complex electromechanical medical devices using a Model‑Based Design (MBD) approach. In this role, you will lead the design, simulation, and implementation of control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink, ensuring robust system behavior and seamless integration with hardware components.

You will be responsible for generating high‑quality embedded code through automated workflows, ensuring compliance with relevant software and medical device standards such as IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, and internal quality processes. Working within the Systems Engineering team and collaborating closely with Software, Hardware, V&V, Quality, Regulatory, and Manufacturing groups, you will help translate system‑level requirements into validated models and embedded implementations.

The ideal candidate possesses strong analytical skills, deep experience in MBD workflows, and a solid understanding of real‑time embedded systems. You demonstrate leadership in guiding technical decisions, ensuring design traceability, performing system analysis, managing interfaces, and delivering solutions that support safe, reliable, and innovative medical devices.

Job description :

• Define and own the MBD framework, methodology, and governance for MATLAB/Simulink, State flow, and Embedded Coder.
• Create system‑level models (plant + controller) for electro‑mechanical behaviors—motors/actuators, power stages, sensors, safety interlocks, calibration, and diagnostics.
• Define modeling guidelines, libraries, and reference architectures to maximize reuse, traceability, and testability.
• Translate system requirements into executable models; maintain end‑to‑end traceability (DOORS → Simulink Requirements → tests → code).
• Decompose control strategies and safety requirements into model components, interfaces, and state machines.
• Lead FMEA /Risk analysis (ISO 14971) and ensure design mitigations are implemented and verified in models.
• Set standards for auto‑code generation (Embedded Coder, coder profiles, build settings, data types, fixed‑point).
• Ensure generated C/C++ integrates cleanly with target RTOS/MCU/SoC, HAL/BSP, drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, PWM, ADC, timers), and communication stacks (CAN, Ethernet if applicable).
• Enforce coding standards (e.g., MISRA‑C/C++), static analysis, and defensively designed runtime checks.
• Establish model‑in‑the‑loop (MIL), software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL), processor‑in‑the‑loop (PIL), and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) strategies, including plant models for electromechanical dynamics.
• Own model coverage, requirement coverage, and code coverage targets; define acceptance criteria and entry/exit gates.
• Implement CI/CD for models and generated code, including automated builds, checks, and regression tests.
• Ensure compliance with IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), IEC 60601 (applicable electrical safety), ISO 14971 (risk), ISO 13485 (QMS), and FDA design controls.
• Lead and author deliverables: software plans, architectures, risk controls, verification protocols/reports, trace matrices, and problem reports/CAPA inputs.
• Partner with Cybersecurity (FDA guidance, SBOM, vulnerability handling) and Usability Engineering (IEC 62366) where SW behavior impacts user risk.
• Work with Electrical/Mechanical to co‑simulate and co‑design plant models (motors, gear trains, loads, sensors, thermal, power).
• Support manufacturing test strategies (boundary tests, calibration models, digital twins) and service diagnostics.
• Guide suppliers/CMs on MBD integration and compliance expectations; review artifacts from external modeling partners.
• Mentor systems, software, and test engineers in MBD, control theory, and verification strategies.
• Drive continuous improvement—templates, scripts, libraries, checkers, and dashboards; conduct design and model reviews.
• Serve as the technical authority for trade‑offs (performance vs. safety vs. cost vs. schedule).

Qualifications & Experience

Education

• Master’s in Electronics and communication, Electrical and Electronics, Automation or Computers engineering or a similar field.

Experience & Expertise

• 15 years of relevant industrial experience in model based development.
