  • Develop and validate plant models using first-principles and empirical data.
  • Implement and test control algorithms using Python and relevant control libraries.
  • Deploy and validate controllers on real-world hardware.
  • Analyze system performance and optimize control strategies.
  • Document technical decisions and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Control, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Aerospace Engineering.
  • 5+ years of hands-on controller design experience.
  • Proven experience deploying controllers on real physical systems.
  • Strong knowledge of plant modeling, system identification, and control theory.
  • Proficiency in Python and control-system development.
  • Experience with PID and at least one modern control method such as LQR, MPC, or Kalman filtering.
  • Strong technical communication skills.
  • Experience with CasADi, do-mpc, Modelica, ROS, embedded C/C++, or nonlinear/robust control is a plus.
