We develop advanced ground mobility solutions for the warfighter, and we're adding a senior controls engineer to our RevengOS team.\nAbout the role\nRaglan has a growing list of efforts to replace the control systems in military ground vehicles. You'll be responsible for the complete system replacement — from teardown and bus/wiring, reverse engineering, building new controls in a variety of IDE’s using a mix of C similar languages and model-based software, dyno calibration, and on-vehicle validation. The work spans engine, transmission, abs/stability, and body/power-distribution control across diesel and hybrid platforms.\nThis is a peer-level role. We expect you to take a subsystem and run with it independently — derive the strategy, write the code, help drive harness design, and validate on the vehicle.\nWhat you'll do\nReverse engineer OEM ECU/TCM/BCM/ABS behavior, CAN/LIN traffic, and wiring — recovering control logic from bus captures, scope traces, and where necessary decompiled firmware.\nDevelop embedded control software in C/C++ similar languages on automotive-grade microcontrollers, and model-based control strategies in MATLAB/Simulink.\nOwn engine, transmission, and body/power-distribution control: fueling and ignition/injection strategy, clutch-to-clutch shift control, output fusing and load-protection logic.\nDefine the vehicle CAN architecture and author DBC databases\nConfigure, integrate, and calibrate across controller platforms — MoTeC, Emtron, Life Racing, New Eagle, Bosch, etc.\nCalibrate and validate on a 4-wheel chassis dyno and real work environments, closing the loop between model, calibration, and measured vehicle behavior.\nHelp drive wiring harnesses design for controller, sensor, and actuator integration.\nDiagnose firmware, hardware, and vehicle-level faults under durability-critical conditions\nWhat you should bring\nFirst-principles understanding of internal combustion engine and drivetrain operation — combustion, fueling, torque management, shift mechanics — strong enough to derive a control strategy without an OEM reference to copy\nModel-based control development in MATLAB/Simulink (Stateflow a plus)\nDeep CAN bus fluency: protocol decode, DBC authoring, and reverse engineering with a logic analyzer, and CAN tools (e.g. CANalyzer)\nHands-on calibration and validation on engine and/or chassis dynamometers\nExperience reverse engineering OEM systems to build an alternate control solution\nComfort owning a subsystem across software, hardware, and full-vehicle integration\nRequirements\n· Must be able to lift 25 lbs\n· Must be comfortable in a manufacturing environment\n· Must be able to wear and utilize PPE such as safety glasses bump caps. etc.\nDue to the nature of this work and applicable U.S. government regulations, applicants must be U.S citizens and be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.\n· Some Travel Required\nPreferred / bonus experience\nTransmission control and calibration — multi-clutch or automatic shift control\nPower distribution / body control logic development\nABS and traction control systems\nHybrid, EV, or BMS / charging systems\nUI/UX for calibration tools or in-vehicle display\nDefense sector experience\nMotorsport, endurance racing, or other durability-critical vehicle backgrounds\nProduction embedded experience in C/C++ on microcontrollers: timing, interrupts, and peripheral/driver-level work\nWiring harness design, from schematic through build\nManagement / leadership\nWork Model & Location\nLocation: Wilmington NC\nWork Model: Salary, In Person\nPay: $125,000.00 - $250,000.00 per year\nBenefits:\nFlexible schedule\nHealth insurance\nHealth savings account\nPaid time off\nParental leave\nRelocation assistance\nVision insurance\nWork Location: In person","company":"Raglan","rawCompany":"raglan","city":"Wilmington","state":"NC","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-30T11:38:25.914Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2141.02","title":"Automotive Engineers","slug":"automotive-engineers"},{"code":"17-2199.05","title":"Mechatronics Engineers","slug":"mechatronics-engineers"},{"code":"17-2072.00","title":"Electronics Engineers, Except Computer","slug":"electronics-engineers-except-computer"}],"industries":[{"code":"336390","title":"Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing","slug":"other-motor-vehicle-parts-manufacturing"},{"code":"336320","title":"Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing","slug":"motor-vehicle-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-manufacturing"},{"code":"336110","title":"Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing","slug":"automobile-and-light-duty-motor-vehicle-manufacturing"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Controls Engineer","description":"Want to live at the beach and work for a growing defense technology company?\nRaglan is looking for a full-time Controls Engineer to help build the operating system for the next generation of defense vehicles.
