Controls Engineer I

The Controls Engineer I is responsible for providing engineering input to the product development projects assigned to them, including interfacing with the cross‑functional team consisting of engineering, operations (industrial engineering, production, and material procurement), sourcing, quality, service, and marketing. Major Responsibilities Design, validate and bring new products to market. Provide new product development support in the Industrial, Commercial, Residential, and/or Retail generator or Power Tool product areas, including creating and maintaining control algorithms and simulation models, supporting product development plans (schedule, product cost, meeting design inputs), interfacing with internal company personnel, and providing technical support for assigned projects. Specify precise new product functional requirements; design, test and integrate standard, less complex components to produce final designs; evaluate the design’s overall effectiveness, cost (including cost/benefit analysis), reliability (risk analysis), and safety. Design, develop, execute and evaluate fitness‑for‑use testing, product specifications and process validation plans for standard products and/or components; create and review product configuration and tuning files. Collaborate with internal partners, designers and product specialists to optimize basic designs for manufacturability. Apply model‑based design methodologies to develop and validate new designs, producing detailed simulation results. Other duties may include supporting product development plans (schedule, product cost, meeting design inputs) and acting as a resource to more experienced engineers. Minimum Job Requirements Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline. At least 3 months of relevant work experience. Preferred Requirements Experience with modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink. Familiarity with developing and tuning control algorithms.
