About this role

The Aerospace Systems Dynamics and Controls Engineer develops system-level control architectures and control law designs for aerospace programs. This position leads the formulation and implementation of control logic while serving as the primary technical contact for clients on controls architecture.

Daily work involves coordinating with Systems Engineers and Software Engineers to architect control laws, decompose requirements, select valves and electronics, and perform dynamic transient modeling and analysis. Tasks include gains tuning along with system verification and validation testing.

The role requires close collaboration across analysis, software, and electrical groups as well as with external vendors and contractors. Engineers manage technical risks and ensure traceability of requirements from top-level specifications down to component level.

Opportunities exist to research and recommend technology investments that improve discipline health and product offerings. The position supports the transition from prototype to production while providing troubleshooting expertise through root cause analysis.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
Minimum 3 years of experience in linear and nonlinear controls systems and analysis
In-depth knowledge of transient and dynamic system modeling
Experience architecting control laws and Built-In Test (BIT)
Willingness to travel up to 10% domestically and internationally

Responsibilities

Develop program system control architecture and technical approach including dynamic transient analysis and controls verification.
Identify and manage program technical risks with regards to system controls.
Serve as technical controls lead and coordinate activities with internal functional groups and external vendors.
Manage technical requirements traceability, decomposition, derivation, and verification for transient performance and controls stability.
Decompose high-level dynamic and controls requirements into lower-level specifications for functional groups and suppliers.
Collaborate with customers and suppliers as part of the design development process.
Work with software and integration engineers to implement, test, and debug control law algorithms.
