Job summary

EDGE is seeking a senior propulsion controls engineer in Abu Dhabi to advance POWERTECH jet engine control systems. You will analyze requirements, develop control laws, and create models in Simulink/MATLAB, performing simulations to validate designs and support certification.

You will lead MIL/SIL/HIL testing, generate code from models, and coordinate with performance, software, and mechanical teams to ensure robust, certifiable solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Control, Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical/Electronics, or Software Engineering.
• Able to create system and controller models in Simulink/MATLAB and perform simulations.
• Knowledge of control theory (closed-loop control, PID, state-space, frequency-domain analysis).
• Knowledge of jet engine dynamics, operating principles, and functions.
• Experience with model-based design (MBD) workflows.
• Familiarity with requirements engineering and documentation practices.

Responsibilities

• Analyze jet engine system requirements and define control system requirements.
• Develop control laws and control algorithms for jet engine control (fuel metering, speed/thrust governing, limit protection).
• Create system, plant, and controller models in Simulink/MATLAB and perform simulations.
• Develop and integrate control logic such as start-up, shutdown, and transient/steady-state operating modes.
• Perform validation and verification of control system requirements.
• Generate and review code from models (auto-code generation) where applicable.
• Commission developed designs on the relevant systems.
• Verify developed designs through MIL, SIL, HIL, and engine tests.
• Analyze test and simulation results and prepare technical reports.
• Ensure compliance with aviation certification processes.
• Maintain requirements traceability between system, control, and software levels.
• Prepare required design documentation.
• Work in coordination with performance, software, and mechanical teams.
