Technical Skills/Experience

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.
