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:\n\nDesigning and implementing control logic in MATLAB and Simulink to meet high-level functional requirements and perform your own data analysis\nBeing 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\nAnalyzing data collected during testing in MATLAB and Simulink and making data-driven conclusions to suggest next steps and go-to-market plans\nSupporting and refining the software release process for the Seakeeper product lineup\nParticipating 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.\nSupporting hydraulic system development, including component specification, testing, vendor technical management and integration in control system\nSupporting FMEA and software functional safety discussions\n\nWHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED\nDo you have a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn and the ability to hustle in a fast-paced environment?
