Job Description Summary

We design, develop, validate, and qualify engine control algorithms and strategies that integrate hardware and software to deliver innovative products for Military applications. Work spans early science and technology programs through New Product Introduction (NPI) supporting next generation aviation products. The focus of this role will be the NPI programs. If you have a passion for delivering integrated hardware and software solutions—and leading others to do the same—this role offers high-impact, mission-driven projects.

Job Description Roles and Responsibilities

Identify, develop, evaluate, introduce, and manage engineering solutions for product control and control system technology needs. Apply control theory and mathematical modeling to design and control systems with desired behaviors. Includes operability, setting of boundaries, cycle optimization, control logic, control related software, sensors, hardware and software algorithms, and feedback to control the performance of devices, subsystems and systems. Basic understanding of key business drivers; uses this understanding to accomplish own work. Good understanding of how work of own team integrates with other teams and contributes to the area. Resolves issues in situations that require good technical knowledge and judgment within established procedures. Consults more senior team members for issues outside of defined instructions/parameters. Assure proper documentation of technical data generated for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures. Participate as a presenter or reviewer in technical and program reviews.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or "STEM" Majors Minimum of 5 years' experience related to embedded Controls Systems and Software development. This role requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain US Government Security Clearance; prerequisite for a security clearance is U.S. citizenship.
