Senior Embedded Controls Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Controls Engineer with deep expertise in Model-Based Design using MATLAB/Simulink. The primary focus of this role is to develop and build models from scratch for complex physical systems in an evolving technology environment.

About the role

This engineer will be instrumental in supporting new product development, control algorithm development, simulation, validation, and code generation activities. Experience with medium-voltage power systems is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Develop physics-based, mathematical, and data-driven models using MATLAB/Simulink.
• Create and validate models from scratch for complex physical systems such as engines, generators, and power conversion equipment.
• Design, simulate, tune, and validate control algorithms.
• Configure and maintain models for automatic code generation into embedded software environments.
• Participate in model verification, simulation, testing, and controls validation activities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to develop next-generation controls technology.
• Support embedded controls and software development activities through model-based design methodologies.
• Work in a rapidly evolving environment where requirements and technology direction may continue to develop during product development.

Requirements

• Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink.
• Experience building models from scratch, not just modifying or utilizing existing models.
• Understanding of physical system modeling, controls theory, and simulation techniques.
• Experience developing, validating, and tuning control algorithms.
• Experience with automated code generation from Simulink or similar model-based design environments.
• Ability to explain modeling methodologies and approaches used to represent real-world systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• Medium-voltage experience (11kV+) is highly desirable but not required.
• Experience in power generation/heavy equipment environments is preferred.

Work Environment

Work in a dynamic and evolving technological environment that encourages innovation and collaboration. Engage with cross-functional teams to drive the development of cutting-edge control technologies. The environment supports continuous learning and adaptation to new challenges and advancements in the field.

Pay

The pay range for this position is $65.00 - $85.00/hr.
