Job Description

 Job Role :Senior embedded controls engineer

 Location : Milwaukee area (onsite) 

Generac

Genset" meaning engine controls or power management 

They could have engine controls or genset and not medium voltage or they could have medium voltage and not engine controls or genset 

Genset = "generator" and the system of engine, alternator etc 

 

Seeking an embedded Controls Engineer with deep expertise in Model-Based Design using MATLAB/Simulink. 

 

This is an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door with a brand new team, in a growing industry. You will help shape the way this company and team leverage model based development tools.

 

The primary focus is developing and building models from scratch for complex physical systems rather than simply using existing models. This engineer will support new product development, control algorithm development, simulation, validation, and code generation activities in an evolving technology environment. Medium-voltage power systems experience is highly desirable.

 

Key Responsibilities / Daily Duties:

 

Develop physics-based, mathematical, and data-driven models using MATLAB/Simulink.

Create and validate models from scratch for complex physical systems such as engines, generators, power conversion equipment, or similar electromechanical systems.

Design, simulate, tune, and validate control algorithms.

Configure and maintain models for automatic code generation into embedded software environments.

Participate in model verification, simulation, testing, and controls validation activities.

Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to develop next-generation controls technology.

Support embedded controls and software development activities through model-based design methodologies.

Work in a rapidly evolving environment where requirements and technology direction may continue to develop during product development

 

Qualifications:

Bachelor''s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.

Strong MATLAB/Simulink experience.

Experience building models from scratch, not just modifying or utilizing existing models.

Understanding of physical system modeling, controls theory, and simulation techniques.

Experience developing, validating, and tuning control algorithms.

Experience with automated code generation from Simulink or similar model-based design environments.

Ability to explain modeling methodologies and approaches used to represent real-world systems

Preferred Qualifications:

·       Medium-voltage power systems experience (11kV+ preferred).

·       Experience with generators, engines, power conversion, power management, electrification, or energy systems.

·       Embedded controls development experience.
