Principal Controls Software Engineer

Job Description: 
A Day in the Life
•    Design feedback control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink using classical PID control laws
•    and act as an independent reviewer of MATLAB/Simulink models to ensure that all software
•    meets quality standards.
•    Research advanced control methods and their potential for improving closed-loop system performance. 
•    Update/tune existing software implementation to support released products.
•    Reduce order modelling of system/subsystem that enables efficient exploration of controller design space.
•    Integrate and test new controller designs on hardware with different maturity levels prototype to released hardware. 
•    Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods.
•    Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups and prepare and participate in design reviews.
•    Define and review software requirements, and document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports.
