What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Controls Software Engineer position at Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group?
Job Description
- Design feedback control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink using classical PID control laws and act as an independent reviewer of MATLAB/Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards.
- Research advanced control methods and their potential for improving closed-loop system performance.
- Update/tune existing software implementation to support released products.
- Reduce order modelling of system/subsystem that enables efficient exploration of controller design space.
- Integrate and test new controller designs on hardware with different maturity levels: prototype to released hardware.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods.
- Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups and prepare and participate in design reviews.
- Define and review software requirements, and document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports.
- A Bachelor’s Degree with 7 years of relevant working experience, or advanced degree with 5 years of relevant working experience
- Proficient in use of modelling & simulation software (MATLAB/Simulink strongly preferred)
- Familiarity with multi-body kinematics and dynamics
- Experience in design and implementation of position, velocity, and torque feedback controllers
- Knowledge of discrete signal processing methods and algorithms and experience with reduced order modelling of mechatronic systems
- Knowledge of techniques used for real-time estimation of uncertain parameters
- Experience in implementation of advanced control algorithms, as an example, Optimization based control methods
- Fluency in English
- Experience with real-time software on microprocessor-based systems and developing software in a Linux environment
- Integrating mechanical and electrical hardware and software, particularly in an embedded context
- Medical product development process highly desired-regulator processes, safety considerations, hands-on experience with medical/surgical devices/instruments
- Experience with a big company with matrix structures, having already worked with cross functional teams within an international environment.
- Experience in prototype level C coding
- Experience in open-ended, robotics research projects
