Controls Development Engineer

WHAT YOU’LL DO When the world says it can’t be done, our engineers say watch this. Our Controls Development Engineers play a pivotal role in developing, testing, and implementing the electronic controls systems for Seakeeper products. You’ll contribute to our software development and work with our custom tools that include embedded hardware, Simulink-based auto code generation IDE (SeaCoder), and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) infrastructure to develop cutting-edge controls systems. You’ll make an immediate impact on our product development by: Designing and implementing control logic in MATLAB and Simulink to meet high-level functional requirements and perform your own data analysis Being the first line of defense in testing control algorithms both on custom simulation equipment from our factory in Leesport, PA, as well as on test boats on the water Analyzing data collected during testing in MATLAB and Simulink and making data-driven conclusions to suggest next steps and go-to-market plans Supporting and refining the software release process for the Seakeeper product lineup Participating in software development items on Seakeeper’s custom tools (embedded hardware, Simulink-based auto code generation IDE (SeaCoder) and HIL) to contribute to the systems controls. Supporting hydraulic system development, including component specification, testing, vendor technical management and integration in control system Supporting FMEA and software functional safety discussions WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED Do you have a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn and the ability to hustle in a fast-paced environment? Then Seakeeper is the place for you! Here are a few other things you’ll need to succeed. MUST-HAVES Bachelor’s degree in Controls Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical or Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent 2+ years of relevant professional work experience, in the following: Scripting languages and demonstrated proficiency in applying them for the purposes of complex data analysis Python, Javascript, C# are beneficial, but MATLAB language experience is preferred Troubleshooting test hardware and wire harnesses using oscilloscopes and multimeters Experience using Matlab and Simulink with a focus on dynamics system simulation Experience with hydraulic controls Knowledge of hydraulic manifolds, including electro-mechanical valves and sensing components Experience using: Software calibration tools CAN bus diagnostic tools such as Vector CANalyzer FMEA participation, including validation and verification activities Includes setup, testing and reporting Developing, testing, and bringing new products to market Be comfortable wiring and being hands-on with the product (it’s going to be dirty sometimes!) NICE-TO-HAVES Master’s degree in Controls Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical or Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent 5+ years of relevant professional work experience Experience using modeling tools such as Simscape fluid and multibody Experience developing control algorithms, such as PID Experience in the marine industry MORE DETAILS YOU’LL WANT TO KNOW You will be based onsite at our Leesport, PA facility Monday through Thursday with the option to work remotely on Friday Occasional travel to our Nj R&D facility for boat testing You’ll report to the Gyro Development Engineering Manager, also based in PA YOUR TEAM Our Controls Development Engineers are nestled within our Gyro Product Development Engineering department. Our team manages projects through an Agile workflow that allows maximum exposure to a variety of projects and systems within the group. The team is comprised of engineers with varying backgrounds and specialties including hydraulic, electrical, mechanical, software, controls and more with a heavy emphasis on collaboration. You’ll be able to be involved in a myriad of projects and participate in program management instead of only owning a small defined piece of the process. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE It’s true that we make extraordinary products, but our favorite part about Seakeeper is our people! We believe in participative leadership. That means you have the freedom to make a difference and contribute to the larger goal, regardless of your position. Great ideas can strike at any moment, and when you have one, you’re empowered to speak up! We are constantly pushing (or crushing) boundaries. Stagnant or bored are about as opposite from Seakeeper as you can get! We move quick and if there is something that can be improved upon, we jump on it.
