• 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.
