Your Role

As an aero engine Control Systems Engineer, you will hold a key technical role focused on the development and implementation of the engine's core control logic. You will be responsible for the entire model-based design lifecycle: from creating adaptive control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink to implementing them on embedded microcontrollers using C. This position requires you to perform rigorous system-level validation through both software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hands-on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, demanding a strong practical understanding of control theory, real-time programming, and aerospace electronics. 

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and validate adaptive control algorithms for jet engine systems under different environmental and operational conditions. 
• Develop high-fidelity analytical and simulation models of jet engine control dynamics using MATLAB/Simulink and embedded platforms. 
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, thermal, and avionics engineers to ensure robust system integration and performance. 
• Conduct system-level testing and validation, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing. 
• Provide technical support in debugging embedded hardware, including interfacing sensors, actuators, and micro-controllers. 
• Document control strategies, test results, and version-controlled software using industry-standard tools. 

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, with a focus on Control Systems or Embedded Systems for aerospace applications. 
• Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink, Embedded C, and real-time microcontroller programming. 
• Experience with model-based design, auto-code generation, and firmware development for aerospace or automotive systems. 
• Strong understanding of digital and analog electronics, including experience in PCB-level debugging, soldering, wiring, and instrumentation. 
• Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g., CAN, SPI, UART) and sensor/actuator integration. 
• Familiarity with tools like Git, Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer, Multimeter. 
• Enthusiasm for working in experimental environments involving real hardware and field testing. 

Preferred Skills

• Direct experience with gas turbine engines or the development of

  Full Authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC)

  . 
• Experience with flight controllers and associated firmware. 
• Knowledge of safety-critical software development standards. 
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS). 

What You’ll Gain 

• Hands-on exposure to real-world jet engine control systems. 
• Mentorship from aerospace engineers. 
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge aerospace propulsion technologies. 
• A stepping stone into advanced roles in flight control, embedded systems, or aerospace R&D.
