Job Description:

The Job:

The Principal Model Based Controls Engineer leads the design, development, simulation, and implementation of advanced control systems using model-based engineering tools such as MATLAB/Simulink. This central role collaborates and provides technical leadership and governance support across all strategic business units across us.

You’ll get to:

· Lead the strategy and governance model for design, modeling, and simulation of control systems using model-based engineering tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink).

· Lead new initiatives around advanced workflows including advanced control algorithms for complex systems (e.g., automotive, HVAC, robotics, or industrial automation).

· Oversee Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing methods to verify and validate control strategies.

· Guide architecture design and embedded software development for control systems.

· Ensure seamless integration of control solutions with broader system modeling and simulation.

· Plan and conduct non-advocate design reviews to validate solutions and enforce quality standards.

· Mentor and train engineers, promoting best practices in model-based design and controls engineering.

· Collaborate with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and research institutions to drive technology advancements.

· Document control strategies, simulation results, and validation processes.

· Support certification and regulatory compliance for global deployment.

The Person:

· You love to learn and grow and be acknowledged for your valuable contributions. You’re not intimidated by innovation. Wouldn’t it be great if you could do your job and do a world of good? In fact, you embrace it. You also have:

· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Control Systems, or a related field (PhD preferred).

· 10+ years of experience in control systems development, with significant expertise in model-based design.

· Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development methodologies.

· Proven experience with various control methods (i.e. PID, MIMO, Non-Linear, MPC).

· Experience with MIL, SIL, and HIL testing environments.

· Experience with field-oriented control methods for brushless motor control highly preferred.

· Strong background in embedded software development and system integration a plus.

· Demonstrated leadership, mentoring, and communication skills.

· Strong analytical, problem-solving, and project management abilities.
