Join to apply for the
Senior Controls Engineer
role at
Parallel . Parallel Systems is pioneering autonomous battery‑electric rail vehicles designed to transform freight transportation by shifting portions of the $900 billion U.S. trucking industry onto rail. Our innovative technology offers cleaner, safer, and more efficient logistics solutions. Join our dynamic team and help shape a smarter, greener future for global freight. Senior Controls Engineer
This role focuses on designing, developing, and implementing robust software that controls the electrical and mechanical systems on our rail vehicles. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in control systems theory, experience with real‑world hardware integration, and a proven track record of delivering high‑quality, real‑time control software. Responsibilities
Design and implement control algorithms for embedded systems and hardware platforms. Determine sensor and actuator requirements to meet system performance needs. Perform modeling, simulation, and analysis of dynamic systems using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink. Support system integration, bring‑up, and debugging of software‑hardware interactions, including live testing in the field. Ensure high reliability, safety, and performance in all control software implementations. Contribute to software architecture and long‑term technical direction of the software stack. Provide technical leadership and mentorship within the team. Basic Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. 5+ years of experience developing control software for embedded systems or hardware platforms. Professional experience and understanding of control theory, including PID, state‑space, observers, and system dynamics. Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or similar languages used in embedded systems development. Professional experience with development tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) testing. Preferred Qualifications
Hands‑on experience with embedded platforms (e.g., ARM Cortex, DSPs, RTOS‑based systems). Exposure to the automotive, aerospace, or robotics industries. Experience developing with Rust, especially in embedded platforms. Experience with sensor fusion, motion control, braking systems, or electric powertrains. Prior ownership of a systems project from design through implementation, testing and deployment in the field. Target Salary Range: $175,000—$215,000 USD. Parallel Systems is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity in the workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any discriminatory factor protected by applicable federal, state or local laws.
