Job summary

EDGE in Abu Dhabi invites a Senior Jet Engine Control Systems Engineer to join POWERTECH, focusing on design, engineering, and testing of propulsion control systems for aerospace and defence applications.

You will develop control laws, create models in Simulink/MATLAB, run simulations, validate requirements, and support certification processes while collaborating with performance, software, and mechanical teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's 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 (e.g., fuel metering, speed/thrust governing, limit protection).
• Create system, plant, and controller models in the Simulink/MATLAB environment 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.
