Job Description

Position: Control Systems Engineer

Overview
Join our client's innovative team to design and develop cutting-edge control systems for advanced subsystems. You'll play a vital role in ensuring reliable, autonomous performance in some of the most challenging environments imaginable.

What You’ll Be Doing
We understand this is a broad and multidisciplinary role and are seeking candidates who demonstrate strength in at least 3 of the following areas:

• Control System Design
  Design, simulate, and test robust control systems tailored for the harsh conditions of space.
• System Integration & Testing
  Integrate control systems with propulsion and other onboard subsystems, conducting rigorous testing in simulated space environments including thermal vacuum, vibration, and radiation.
• Autonomous Fault Management
  Create intelligent fault detection, isolation, and recovery strategies to enhance satellite resilience and autonomy.
• Agile Iteration
  Collaborate in a fast-paced, hands-on environment to rapidly prototype, test, and refine control architectures.
• Modelling & Simulation
  Use tools like MATLAB/Simulink to model complex systems, analyse dynamic behaviour, and validate control algorithms.
• Electronics & Firmware Collaboration
  Work closely with electronics teams to design circuits and implement control logic on microcontroller platforms, ensuring space-grade performance and reliability.
• Embedded Code Generation
  Develop standalone MATLAB/Simulink modules for embedded deployment. Separate control logic from simulation code, with clearly defined interfaces and resource-aware design for microcontrollers.

What our client is Looking For

• A degree (MEng, MSc, or PhD) in Electronics, Mechatronics, Automation, Control Systems, Robotics, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid background in control systems design, tuning, and implementation.
• Hands-on experience with embedded firmware development for microcontroller-based systems.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for modelling and control algorithm development.
• Understanding of power electronics and electrical power converters; experience with Power Processing Units (PPUS) is a strong plus.
