• Contribute as part of a growing engineering team addressing new control system needs in decarbonization and data center cooling
• Design, implement, test, and support control software for chillers and air handling units used in data centers, large facilities, and industrial environments
• Develop reliable and maintainable code using MATLAB/Simulink, applying model-based design principles for embedded systems
• Apply control theory fundamentals (modeling, simulation, statistics, data acquisition) to develop robust and efficient control solutions
• Analyze system and test data to support controller development, performance optimization, and product validation
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers throughout product development activities
• Participate in laboratory and field testing activities to validate control performance and troubleshoot issues
• Support technical reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of controls development processes

What we look for:

Required:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline; MS preferred
• 4-6 years of controls, automation, embedded systems, or related engineering experience, or an MS degree with relevant industry experience
• Experience developing control algorithms and software using MATLAB/Simulink
• Working knowledge of model-based design principles for embedded systems
• Familiarity with control systems concepts, modeling, simulation, and data analysis
• Experience supporting product development, validation testing, and troubleshooting efforts
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, fast-paced engineering environment
• Working ability to read and understand embedded C/C++ code and use scripting tools such as Python or MATLAB
