Controls Engineer (engine control systems)

Job Summary

Seeking a Controls Engineer 2 to support large engine control systems through simulation, calibration, testing, and on-engine validation. The engineer will work with dynamic systems, control algorithms, engine data, and real engine hardware in test-cell environments. Key Responsibilities

• Calibrate engine control systems in simulation and on-engine environments.
• Analyze and present engine/test data.
• Support electrical design activities from specifications through system completion.
• Test, evaluate, modify, and calibrate products and instruments.
• Analyze processes and implement improvements.
• Troubleshoot hardware and process issues.
• Perform technical calculations related to electrical requirements, motor controls, and safety.
• Support control-system development and validation.
• Perform root-cause analysis and resolve technical issues.
• Collaborate with technical leads, engineering peers, and process partners.

Required Skills

• 2+ years of relevant engineering experience .
• BS in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering .
• Strong understanding of feedback control of dynamic systems .
• Experience with control systems design and analysis using MATLAB/Simulink .
• Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving skills.
• Good verbal and written communication.
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities.

Preferred Experience

• Engine controls experience.
• Control-system calibration in simulation and/or on-engine environments.
• Experience analyzing engine/test data.
• Hands-on experience with real engine hardware or test cells.
• Controls Engineer 1/2 or similar experience.
• Relevant graduate degree may count toward experience.
• Internships in engine controls may be considered as experience.

Important Note

PLC controls experience is a disqualifier/red flag for this role. The focus is on feedback control, dynamic systems, MATLAB/Simulink, and engine controls , not traditional PLC controls.
