Design, develop, and validate electro-mechanical and mechatronic engine control systems. Create and maintain Matlab/Simulink and GT-Power Model-in-Loop simulations, design MIMO and DSP control strategies, collaborate with cross-functional partners, and deliver simulation-driven recommendations to optimize engine performance and emissions.
Job Title: Control Systems Engineer
Location: Chillicothe, IL
Salary: $100,000 – $120,000
Industry: Engineering
Job Category: Engineering – Mechanical
Role Description:
This role encompasses the design, development, and validation of electro-mechanical systems and mechatronic devices with the aim of optimizing engine performance and emissions. As an individual contributor within the Large Engine Controls team in the Large Power Systems Division (LPSD), you will be responsible for designing, building, and testing control strategies specific to LPSD engines.
What you will do:
Collaborate with process partners to develop and refine engine control system requirements.
Utilize expertise in engines and dynamic feedback controls—including frequency and time domain design, Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) systems, digital signal processing, filter design, and logical control methodologies—to design and evaluate control features.
Develop and maintain Matlab/Simulink and GT-Power-based Model-in-Loop (MiL) simulation framework for use in design and verification of control algorithms.
Deliver timely, high-quality simulation-driven design recommendations to stakeholders.
Required Skills:
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering is required
Proficiency in classical control theory, specifically as applied to Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems using both the time and frequency domain
Demonstrated experience developing engine control systems for gas, diesel, and dual fuel engines, including aftertreatment solutions
Advanced expertise in Matlab/Simulink with a focus on designing and verifying control concepts using GT-Power engine models.
Strong background in modeling dynamic systems through physics-based white box models, black box approaches, and system identification techniques
Exceptional analytical and understanding of complex engineering concepts and applications
Proven self-motivation with the capacity to effectively communicate technical concepts to team members, cross-functional groups, management, and external suppliers
Prior involvement in product development processes (NPI, NTI, and CPI)
