Control System Engineer

Your Title: Control System Engineer

Job Location: Westminster, CO (Northern Denver)

Our Department: Trimble Ag Industry Solutions (AgIS)

Are you interested in identifying and delivering disruptive cutting-edge technologies?

What You Will Do

This Control Systems Engineer role centers on the design and optimization of automatic motion control system algorithms for advanced off-highway industrial machinery (e.g., tractors, excavators). You will be an integral part of our team, focusing primarily on Control System Engineering-related duties.

• Architect, design, and develop software for real-time and embedded control systems.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code in languages such as C and C++.
• Partner with control systems engineers to translate their models into efficient, production-ready code.
• Use your strong data analysis skills to troubleshoot and diagnose complex software and control system issues.
• Design, develop, and productize control law algorithms.
• Use MATLAB/Simulink for model-based design (MBD).
• Apply sensor fusion and filter design for pose estimation.

What Skills & Experience You Should Bring

We are looking for an illustration of the experiences that are either required or preferred.

• A Bachelor's, PHD or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Control System Engineering, Robotics, Aerospace, or a related field with a strong focus on control systems.
• Extensive experience with programming languages like C and C++, coupled with a proven background in software architecture and design for embedded or real-time systems.
• A strong understanding of concepts critical for digital control systems, including real-time operating systems (RTOS), interrupts, task scheduling, and memory management.
• Familiarity with control theory concepts (e.g., PID control, state-space models, stability analysis) and hands-on experience with MATLAB and Simulink.
• 5+ years of experience in control algorithm development for dynamic systems.

What Skills & Experience You Could Bring

This section illustrates experiences that would be a bonus for the role.

• Experience in state estimation (e.g., Kalman filters).
• Experience leading small technical projects.
• Simulink auto-code generation.
• Experience with GNSS+IMU state estimation.
• AutonomoSemi-autonomous vehicle control.
