We are looking for a Control Systems Engineer to work on power control system algorithms for an industrial power systems manufacturer.

Applicants need to have significant experience in using Mathworks tools:- Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow, and must have used these to create control algorithms for engines or power generators.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work with process partner teams to gather and develop requirements for the advanced engines and power systems being developed for future, more sustainable, low carbon power systems.
• Create control algorithms / software models to meet engine and / or hybrid power system software requirements.
• Conduct control system tuning / calibration activities on test bench and / or on test bed / machine to achieve desired system performance.
• Conduct sub-system FMEAs, documenting potential failure modes, identifying and completing design and validation actions and managing subsequent updates.
• Plan and execute verification and validation testing for electronics / control system software in SiL, HiL or on-test bed or development machines.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electronics / control system issues encountered during engine or power system running.

QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

• Strong technical background, with a good technical Degree preferred in mechanical, electronic, electrical, control systems or automotive engineering, though other qualifications / experience will be considered.
• Significant, demonstrable experience of using Mathworks tools (Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow) for model-based software design and development to create embedded software. This should have been gained in a engine or hybrid power systems development environment.
