Controls Engineer (Associate or Mid-Level)
Jobs via Dice, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, 87101
Overview
Controls Engineer (Associate or Mid-Level) role at Boeing. This position is onsite at Starfire Optical Range, Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico, supporting hardware, firmware, and software development of electro-optical systems. The role supports the R&D mission of the Air Force Research Laboratory Optics Division and involves collaboration within a multidisciplinary team to develop, optimize, and maintain control solutions. Responsibilities
Develop high-fidelity mathematical models of dynamic systems (mechanical, electrical, thermal processes) using first-principles physics and empirical system identification techniques. Analyze system behavior, including stability, linearity, and transient/steady-state responses. Design, develop, and implement advanced control strategies. Utilize industry-standard tools (primarily MATLAB/Simulink) for control system simulation, analysis, and rapid prototyping. Conduct extensive simulations to verify algorithm performance, stability, and robustness under various operating conditions and disturbances. Develop and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) tests for algorithm validation. Perform rigorous tuning and optimization of control parameters to achieve desired system performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, speed, response time, energy efficiency, disturbance rejection). Analyze data from real-world systems to refine and improve control algorithms. Collaborate with software/firmware engineers to translate complex control algorithms into executable code (e.g., C/C++, VHDL) for embedded systems, RTOS, or FPGA platforms. Create detailed control system design specifications, mathematical derivations, simulation reports, and validation plans. Basic Qualifications (Required)
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement. 2+ years with MATLAB and Simulink (including toolboxes like Control System Toolbox, MPC Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, Simscape, Stateflow). Must be willing to work variable shifts; including day, evening, night, and weekends. Preferred Qualifications (Desirable)
3+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Active U.S. Top Secret security clearance. 3+ years in at least one relevant programming language (e.g., C/C++, Python) for algorithm implementation or data analysis. 3+ years of professional experience in designing, modeling, and implementing advanced control algorithms for dynamic systems. Experience with at least two or more advanced control techniques (e.g., MPC, LQR, robust control, adaptive control). Background in developing robust control systems for telescopes, addressing challenges in pointing accuracy, vibration suppression, and thermal stability. Other Information
Drug Free Workplace: Boeing is a Drug Free Workplace with post-offer testing as outlined in policy. Shift: This position is for Variable shift. Pay and Benefits: Boeing offers a Total Rewards package including base pay and variable compensation, with eligibility for various health, retirement, and time-off benefits. Education: Bachelor’s Degree or Equivalent. Relocation: Relocation assistance is not negotiable for this position. Export Control Requirement: A U.S. Person is required.
