Control System Engineer

About the Role

Trimble AgIS provides GNSS and Control System-based hardware and software technologies for implementing customer solutions, including those for the PTx Trimble JV with Agco. PTx Trimble (f.k.a. Trimble Agriculture) and Trimble Civil Construction.

What Makes This Role Great

In this role, you will be at the forefront of off-highway automation, turning complex control law theory into real-world performance on heavy machinery. You will directly influence the intelligence, precision, and safety of next-generation equipment while collaborating with top-tier engineering teams on dynamic, multi-disciplinary projects.

Responsibilities

• Spearhead the design, development, and productization of advanced control law algorithms for dynamic heavy machinery.
• Utilize MATLAB and Simulink to craft sophisticated model-based designs, signal conditioning, and feedback loop compensations.
• Apply advanced sensor fusion and filter design techniques for precise real-time pose estimation and vehicle dynamics modeling.
• Validate and evaluate core algorithms in complex simulation environments and on real-time target hardware.
• Define robust system architectures and collaborate across teams to ensure ongoing product performance, quality, and seamlessly integrated software.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience developing control algorithms for dynamic systems.
• Proven track record with automatic control systems applied to off-highway machinery.
• Strong proficiency in model-based design using MATLAB and Simulink.
• Demonstrated experience testing, validating, verifying, and productizing core algorithms.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, GNC, or a related engineering field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, GNC, or related fields.
• Expertise in state estimation using Kalman filters, GNSS+IMU integration, or autonomous vehicle control.
• Proficiency with C/C++ software development, Simulink auto-code generation, and ROS ecosystems.
• Experience with safety-critical software certification, HIL/SIL testing, or Systems Identification (Simscape).
