About the role
- Develop high-fidelity mathematical models of dynamic systems (e.g., mechanical, electrical, thermal processes) using first-principles physics and empirical system identification techniques.
- Analyze system behavior, including stability, linearity, and transient/steady-state responses.
- Design, develop, and implement advanced control strategies.
- Utilize industry-standard tools (primarily MATLAB/Simulink) for control system simulation, analysis, and rapid prototyping.
- Conduct extensive simulations to verify algorithm performance, stability, and robustness under various operating conditions and disturbances.
- Develop and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) tests for algorithm validation.
- Perform rigorous tuning and optimization of control parameters to achieve desired system performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, speed, response time, energy efficiency, disturbance rejection).
- Analyze data from real-world systems to refine and improve control algorithms.
- Collaborate closely with software/firmware engineers to translate complex control algorithms into executable code (e.g., C/C++, VHDL) for embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS), or FPGA platforms.
- Create detailed control system design specifications, mathematical derivations, simulation reports, and validation plans.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
- 2+ years with MATLAB and Simulink (including toolboxes like Control System Toolbox, MPC Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, Simscape, Stateflow)
- Must be willing to work variable shifts; including day, evening, night, and weekends
- 3+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- Active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- 3+ years in at least one relevant programming language (e.g., C/C++, Python) for algorithm implementation or data analysis
- 3+ years of professional experience in designing, modeling, and implementing advanced control algorithms for dynamic systems
- Experience with at least two or more advanced control techniques (e.g., MPC, LQR, robust control, adaptive control)
