The ideal candidate will possess exceptional coding skills and a deep understanding of control systems, with the ability to develop complex models and generate Bode plots intuitively. A background in advanced research—such as hydraulic control systems in aerospace applications, or road vehicle ride & stability analysis—is highly desirable, though not required.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE (REQUIRED):

• Bachelor’s degree (minimum) in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Strong understanding of control systems theory and application.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or similar modeling and analysis tools.
• Experience with Modelica, Simcenter, Hysan, or SimX
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Relevant advanced agree (MS or PhD)
• Experience in high-performance or competitive racing engineering environments.
• Familiarity with CAD modeling and machine design principles.
• Prior exposure to hydraulic systems in dynamic applications.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

• Develop and analyze hydraulic control systems using advanced modeling and simulation tools.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate hydraulic systems into broader mechanical and electronic architectures.
• Utilize tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Python for system modeling, data analysis, and control algorithm development.
• Support testing and validation of hydraulic systems, including data acquisition and performance tuning.
• Document system designs, analysis results, and testing procedures in a clear and organized manner.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support troubleshooting efforts.
