Job Title: Model-Based Software Developer (MATLAB/Simulink)
Overvie
wWe are seeking Model-Based Software Developers to support the restructuring and modernization of a large, complex software model. This role is focused on model-based software development rather than traditional controls engineering, though candidates with a controls background are welcome if they have strong model-based development experience
.
The team is breaking down a large monolithic model into smaller, modular components, rebuilding libraries, and standardizing interfaces. This work is primarily performed in MATLAB/Simulink and represents the first phase of a broader software transformation effort supporting a high-visibility progra
