About the role
- Develop high-fidelity mathematical models of dynamic systems 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 (classical, modern, optimal, robust, MPC, adaptive, gain scheduling)
- Develop multi-variable control strategies for complex, interconnected systems
- Utilize MATLAB/Simulink for control system simulation, analysis, and rapid prototyping
- Conduct extensive simulations to verify algorithm performance, stability, and robustness
- 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 meet performance metrics (accuracy, speed, response time, energy efficiency, disturbance rejection)
- Analyze data from real-world systems to refine and improve control algorithms
- Collaborate with software/firmware engineers to translate algorithms into executable code (e.g., C/C++, VHDL) for embedded systems, RTOS, or FPGA platforms
- Provide guidance and support during system integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting
- Create detailed control system design specifications, mathematical derivations, simulation reports, and validation plans
- Present complex technical concepts and findings to multidisciplinary teams
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
- 3+ 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
- Active U.S. Top Secret security clearance (preferred)
- 3+ years in at least one relevant programming language (e.g., C/C++, Python)
- 3+ years of professional experience in designing, modeling, and implementing advanced control algorithms for dynamic systems (preferred)
- Experience with at least two or more advanced control techniques (e.g., MPC, LQR, robust control, adaptive control)
- Background in developing robust control systems for telescopes, addressing pointing accuracy, vibration suppression, and thermal stability (preferred)
- Ability to obtain U.S. Security Clearance; U.S. Citizenship required (export control compliance and security clearance requirement)
- Employer will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status
- Drug Free Workplace testing may be required post-offer
