Responsibilities
Contribute to the full lifecycle of control algorithm development—from capturing requirements to modeling, implementing, and optimizing advanced strategies for vector control, position, speed, and torque regulation
Engineer robust system logic by developing state machines and power sequencing tailored to demanding aerospace applications
Architect, implement, and validate system-level control sequences, state machines, and safe power-up/power-down processes compliant with functional safety and system requirements
Leverage MATLAB/Simulink to drive model-based design, simulation, and rapid prototyping of both individual control loops and system-level coordination logic
Develop and verify communication protocols by creating Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for standards such as CAN, ARINC 825, and other aviation-specific buses
Bring designs to life in the lab through hardware-software integration, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and data-driven performance optimization
Support certification efforts by preparing detailed documentation, test plans, and artifacts that meet rigorous aerospace standards including DO-254, DO-178C, ARP4754, and ARP4761
Collaborate across disciplines—working with systems, electrical, test, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration and product reliability
Be hands-on in the field, supporting product launches with troubleshooting, tuning, and validation to deliver flight-ready solutions
Maintain configuration control and traceability of simulation models and core algorithms to ensure lifecycle compliance and long-term reliability
Qualification
Required
Proficiency in programming languages such as C, C++, and Python, with experience in system verification and validation
In-depth expertise in vector (field-oriented) control, position control, speed control, and torque regulation for motors or actuators
Strong knowledge of system sequencing, state machines, and safe power-up/power-down control methodologies
Proven experience authoring Interface Control Documents (ICD) for communication protocols including CAN, ARINC, and related aviation or automotive buses
Hands-on experience with control integration and validation, including use of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, lab data analysis, and rapid prototyping tools
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a record of robust, validated solutions in fielded products
Self-driven and proactive in taking project ownership, meeting deadlines, and achieving high standards
Willingness and capability to collaborate across engineering disciplines to ensure product integration and success
Commitment to maintaining quality, technical excellence, and compliance with all required processes and standards
Preferred
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related field preferred; relevant professional experience may be accepted in lieu of a degree
Prior experience supporting certification or working on safety-critical control systems within the aviation, automotive, or aerospace sectors is highly desirable
Benefits
Full heath benefits (health, vision, dental, 401K)
