WHERE YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME
Every day looks a little different and we aren't going to bore you with every little thing you'll be responsible for on a daily basis (we will get into that throughout the interview process!) But here is a taste of the things you'll spend most of your time and energy on.
- Design and implement control algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink that translate functional requirements into tested, production-ready software.
- Validate control behavior through simulation, Hardware in the Loop systems, factory test equipment, and on-water boat testing.
- Analyze test and field data to make clear, evidence-based technical decisions and recommend next steps.
- Lead and continuously improve the software release process across the Seakeeper product lineup.
- Advance our controls-development tools, embedded hardware, SeaCoder environment, and test infrastructure.
- Lead hydraulic controls development and system integration, including technical collaboration with component and controls suppliers.
- Guide controls-related FMEA and functional-safety discussions, ensuring risks, mitigations, and validation evidence remain visible through release.
- Mentor junior Controls and Systems engineers through practical coaching and thoughtful technical review.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- A bachelor's degree in controls, mechanical, electrical, electro-mechanical, computer science/engineering, or a related technical field.
- At least 6 years of relevant experience developing, testing, and bringing control-system or mechatronic products to market.
- Strong MATLAB and Simulink capability, including dynamic-system simulation, control-algorithm development, and complex data analysis.
- Experience scripting for engineering analysis. MATLAB is preferred; Python, JavaScript, or C# experience is helpful.
- Hands-on troubleshooting experience with test hardware, wire harnesses, oscilloscopes, and multimeters.
- Experience with hydraulic controls, manifolds, electro-mechanical valves, and sensing components.
- Experience with embedded controls and calibration tools such as MotoHawk or Raptor, MotoTune or comparable platforms, and CAN bus diagnostics such as Vector CANalyzer.
- Experience contributing to FMEA, validation, and verification activities, including test setup, execution, and reporting.
- The ability to work in engineering, lab, factory, supplier, and marine environments; use required PPE; participate in on-water testing; and travel occasionally, with or without reasonable accommodation.
- Professional fluency in English.
WHERE YOU'LL WORK
This role is based at our Leesport, Pennsylvania site and works onsite at least four days per week. The work spans engineering, laboratory, factory, supplier, and marine environments and includes occasional travel and on-water boat testing.
WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
You'll report to the Director of Gyro Engineering and work closely with Controls and Systems Engineering, as well as other engineering teams across the company including Product Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Production Management, and Operations. You'll also collaborate with hydraulic component and controls suppliers and technical vendors supporting embedded hardware, calibration, and test systems.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
We believe great work and dedication should be rewarded. This role offers competitive compensation based on your experience, skills, and qualifications, plus benefits designed to support you at work and outside of it.
- Semi-Annual Bonuses - When Seakeeper grows, you do too. To celebrate our mid-year and year-end progress, all employees are eligible to receive bonuses tied to company growth and their tenure.
