* Support systems analysis with a cross-functional mindset to support system level architectural decisions
* Support prototype control system solutions
* Support software verification efforts, including HIL qualification test programs
* Assist in developing verification and validation procedures to ensure software products will perform as specified to meet system and subsystem requirements

Qualifications:

* B.S. in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, chemical or related engineering with 2+ years of control system design experience
* Demonstrated advanced knowledge in developing control systems and software for complex linear and nonlinear subsystems including process modeling and simulation
* Excellent technical writing and verbal communication skills
* Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum

Desired:

* M.S. or Ph.D. in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, chemical, or related engineering
* Experience with MATLAB and Simulink
* Experience with PLC/DCS for industrial applications
* Experience with HMI design and alarm management
* Experience with discrete or continuous control systems
* Hands-on experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing and test development
* Demonstrated ability to model, simulate, and validate the behavior of sensor and actuator subsystems across multiple domains (e.g. electro-hydraulic, power electronics, aerodynamic, thermodynamic, static and dynamic mechanical)
* Good system engineering and configuration management skills
* Experience with rockets, missiles or other aerospace vehicle systems
