EH Group Engineering in Nyon, Switzerland, seeks a Senior Control Engineer to design control strategies for containerized power systems, integrating fuel cell technology with gas reformers, batteries, and climate control units. You will coordinate the control team, define architecture, and drive robust, safe operation in the field.

The role demands a MSc/BSc in control/electrical/mechatronic, at least seven years in control engineering, and prior technical leadership.

Qualifications

BSc/MSc in control, electrical, mechatronic or automation engineering is mandatory.
Minimum 7 years of experience in control engineering, including at least 2 years in a technical lead or senior role.
Strong experience in process control engineering, particularly with containerized power supply systems; knowledge of programming and implementing safety PLCs is a strong plus.
Strong experience with TIA Portal (Step 7, WinCC, Test Suite), with the ability to structure code to industrial standards and meet certification requirements.
Experience with functional safety (IEC 61508, ISO 13849), including SIL/PL determination and implementation of safety functions.
Experience across the complete V-model development cycle, including hazard and risk assessment, requirements definition, safety requirements specification (SRS), verification and validation, and dataset management.
Experience with stationary and maritime power applications, focusing on US and EU markets and their standards and certification requirements.

Responsibilities

Coordinate the control engineering activities and define the control architecture and technical roadmap for our fuel cell and containerized power systems.
Develop control strategies, models and algorithms for test-benches, fuel cell system and containerized power supply systems using Matlab/Simulink and Siemens PLCs.
Coordinate the transition of prototype control algorithms from Simulink to industrial-quality code in TIA Portal Step 7.
Implement, tune and validate controllers for thermal, air, fuel and power subsystems.
Define and own control requirements, state machines and safety/diagnostic logic.
Drive the continuous improvement (performance, efficiency and robustness) of our products.
Define and oversee model-in-the-loop (MIL) testing and validation procedures.
Manage the complete software life cycle, from requirements through release and maintenance, including dataset management.
Establish coding standards, conduct code reviews and ensure compliance with industrial and certification requirements.
Coordinate and develop the control team, including task planning and prioritization.
Act as the main control interface with embedded, test and electrical engineering, as well as external partners and suppliers.
