Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled Control System Engineer to specify, design, and validate complex sub-systems, focusing on high-level requirements for software and hardware components within control systems. The ideal candidate will have experience with control system design and validation, and will work in a hybrid environment with some travel required for on-site integration sessions.

This position offers a dynamic, fast-paced working environment where the engineer will play a key role in ensuring the control system’s functional performance aligns with validated requirements, while adhering to project timelines and quality standards.

Responsibilities:

Requirements Analysis & Validation: Collaborate with stakeholders to evaluate and agree on control system requirements. Capture evidence of requirement validation, including use cases, design constraints, safety, and security attributes, in models and work products.
System Design & Testing: Develop and review control system tests to validate that the system meets the defined requirements. Allocate control system requirements to test vehicles as per the verification plan.
System Behavior Analysis: Perform analysis of control system functional behavior using modelling and simulation tools to demonstrate compliance with validated requirements.
Problem Resolution: Provide targeted testing of control system functionality to support problem investigations, closures, and addressing customer issues. Work cross-functionally to ensure effective development workflows and fault detection/accommodation in the system.
Collaboration: Work closely with other engineering disciplines to understand the performance capabilities of components within the system and to facilitate successful integration.
Documentation: Produce detailed reports to document all aspects of the work carried out, including design, validation, and verification processes.
Continuous Improvement: Ensure the system detects and accommodates faults with the guidance of Control System Specialists, while also identifying and managing risks in collaboration with the team.

Key Skills:

Controls Systems Experience: Expertise in software-centric control systems (HVAC, Engine, Brake Systems, Gas Turbine).
System Requirement Development: Experience in developing electronic engine control systems, with the ability to transfer these skills to modelling tools such as Cameo.
Configuration Management: Strong attention to detail in tracking and managing systems throughout the development lifecycle.

Qualifications:

Technical Knowledge: Proven experience with aircraft engine interfaces, component technology, and behavior during both normal and abnormal operations. Familiarity with the software and hardware development process constraints is essential.
Cross-Disciplinary Understanding: A working appreciation of other engineering disciplines, including their roles in system development and integration.
Modelling & Simulation Tools: Proficiency in using design and analysis tools, particularly Cameo System Modeler, to support system design, testing, and validation.
Problem-Solving & Risk Management: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the capacity to interpret test results and provide well-informed conclusions. Ability to identify, manage, and communicate risks effectively.
Communication Skills: Ability to communicate complex technical ideas clearly, both in written reports and verbally, to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Collaboration & Teamwork: Experience working in multidisciplinary teams, coordinating with engineers, scientists, and other stakeholders to drive system development forward.
U.S. Citizenship Required for this role due to U.S. Department of Defense guidelines.
Military Experience Equivalency may substitute for some requirements.
