What You Bring (Required Qualifications)
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a Scientific discipline (e.g., Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering) from an accredited four-year university.
Core Theory: Strong academic foundation in classical and state-space control system theory.
Hands-on Experience: Proven experience in a laboratory environment setting up, testing, and experimenting with control system technologies.
Experience with high bandwidth control systems design
Technical Expertise: * Experience working with gimbals and/or other highly actuated mechanical systems.
Demonstrated ability to translate continuous-time control algorithms into discrete-time systems.
Must be a US Citizen able to obtain and maintain a security clearance
Tools: High proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink and Microsoft Office suite.
