Descrizione del lavoro

Anduril Industries seeks a Principal Power Controls Engineer to lead development of advanced control algorithms for DC/DC converters, inverters, and motor drives using SiC/GaN devices. You will drive simulation, hardware validation, and model-based code generation with hardware and firmware teams.

You will design closed-loop control for multi‑kW systems, perform stability analysis, and lead HIL/PHIL test campaigns to meet EMI, efficiency, and thermal targets in defense/aerospace applications.

Competenze

BS in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related discipline.
15+ years of experience designing and tuning digital control loops for power electronic converters (DC/DC, DC/AC, or motor drives).
Proficiency in Simulink and/or PLECS for control system modeling, simulation, and analysis.
Strong foundation in control theory — z-domain and s-domain design, bode analysis, state-space methods, and discrete-time implementation considerations.
Hands‑on experience with discrete SiC and/or GaN FET‑based power stages in the multi‑kW range.
Familiarity with military or aerospace environments and standards such as MIL-STD-461, 464, 810, or DO-160.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Mansioni

Design, simulate, and validate closed-loop control algorithms for switch-mode power converters and inverters using Simulink and/or PLECS.
Controls for 3-phase AC systems, with and without a switched Neutral
Develop plant models and controller architectures (voltage-mode, current-mode, sensorless FOC, etc.) for multi-kW power stages utilizing discrete SiC and GaN FETs.
Perform stability analysis, loop shaping, and compensator design to meet transient response, efficiency, and EMI targets.
Collaborate with power hardware engineers on gate drive tuning, dead-time optimization, and switching-loss characterization of wide-bandgap devices.
Support model-based code generation workflows and work with firmware engineers to translate control designs into embedded implementations.
Define and execute hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) test plans to validate control performance against system requirements.
Contribute to trade studies on converter topology, modulation strategy, and control bandwidth as they relate to size, weight, power, and thermal constraints.
