You will collaborate effectively with hardware and software teams to integrate control systems with various sensors (such as IMU, gyroscopes, and accelerometers) and actuators. Additionally, you will conduct system tuning, validation, and optimization to meet stability, accuracy, and response time targets. Your role will also involve testing, troubleshooting, and documenting control algorithms in both lab and field environments.

Key tasks include preparing and delivering technical papers, reports, and proposals to stakeholders, supporting laboratory testing and qualification efforts for optical systems and sensor products, and assisting business development by evaluating emerging technologies in optical sensor systems.

Requirements:

  • Master’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or a related field (PhD preferred).
  • Minimum 5-7 years of experience in control systems engineering, particularly focusing on gimbal stabilization.
  • Strong understanding of control theory and design, including PID, state-space, and adaptive control.
  • Experience in designing control algorithms for stabilization and tracking systems such as gimbals and optical platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with real-time control algorithms in embedded systems, PLCs, or DSPs.
  • Proficiency in system modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Knowledge of C and C++ for embedded system development is advantageous.
  • Familiarity with sensors (gyroscopes, accelerometers) and actuators used in tracking and stabilization.

Key Skills:

  • Control System Design: PID, state-space, adaptive control
  • Algorithm Development: Real-time control for tracking and stabilization
  • System Modeling & Simulation: MATLAB/Simulink
  • Embedded Systems & Programming: C, C++ (preferred), PLCs, DSPs
  • Sensors & Actuators: IMU, gyroscopes, accelerometers
  • Testing & Validation: System tuning, performance optimization, troubleshooting
  • Technical Documentation & Reporting: Reports, proposals, technical papers
