Senior Real-Time Controls Engineer (Motion & Tracking)

Halian; Abu Dhabi; On-site; AED 350,000 - 600,000; Full time

Job summary

Halian in the United Arab Emirates seeks an experienced Controls Systems Engineer to design, develop, and deploy real-time, time-critical control systems for precision motion and tracking applications. The role focuses on creating robust control architectures with high performance, reliability, and deterministic behaviour in demanding environments.

You will lead development of deterministic control software on embedded platforms, ensure safety-critical operation with redundancy and fault

Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ development for embedded and real-time systems.
• Advanced knowledge of classical and modern control theory (PID, state-space, identification).
• Proven experience designing real-time control systems with deterministic execution, latency control, and timing analysis.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize closed-loop control algorithms (PID, state-space, MPC).
• Develop stabilization systems to compensate for vibrations and disturbances.
• Create real-time tracking and positioning control loops with minimal latency.
• Define data interfaces between sensing, estimation, and control subsystems with synchronization and fault handling.
• Model, simulate, and validate dynamic system behaviour and control-loop stability.
• Design and implement deterministic real-time control software on embedded platforms or RTOS.
