About the role
- Be a subject matter expert on control systems for next-generation optical communications terminals (Free Space Optical Communications).
- Develop real-time control system software for control, monitoring, and telemetry.
- Work on the full life cycle of control system development, from concept to design, integration, testing, and release.
- Create embedded C language, nested, low-latency, closed-loop control systems for optical imaging and tracking.
- Develop autonomous functions to support Pointing, Acquisition & Tracking and other adaptive control capabilities.
- Run lab experiments (instrumentation, test, and data acquisition) to validate capability and robustness of control systems.
- Investigate improvements to reduce latencies and increase uptime and reliability.
- Collaborate with firmware, system, and product platform engineers to implement algorithms and ensure they meet design goals and requirements.
- Contribute to technical requirements in collaboration with the optical, mechanical, and electrical design teams.
Requirements
- 5+ years of C development.
- Extensive experience with high-speed control loops and control systems.
- Proficiency in control design analysis and simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink.
- Experience with non-linear systems, using techniques such as gain scheduling and linearization to achieve closed-loop control stability.
- Expertise in converting, implementing, and debugging Control Laws, Digital Filters, and other Digital Signal Processing into embedded C code.
- Familiarity with Control Laws in State Space or Laplace domain.
- Experience with real-time operating systems and microcontroller-based systems.
- Proficiency with Linux command line scripting and Git.
- Strong ability to investigate, diagnose, and correct product malfunctions.
- A proven track record of measuring and tuning products to meet performance design criteria (e.g., Gain and Phase margins).
- Preferred: Experience with Adaptive Optics systems.
- Preferred: Knowledge of electronic circuits and schematics.
- Preferred: Experience with hardware design, optical, or opto-electronic sensors.
- Preferred: Proficiency with Python or Go.
- Preferred: Familiarity with lab tools like digital-signal analyzers, power meters, and oscilloscopes.
- Preferred: A background in applied mathematics or linear systems.
