Sr. Software Engineer - Embedded Controls with PID.

Saxon Global, Roxbury, Massachusetts, United States,


•Design feedback control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink using classical PID control laws and act as an independent reviewer of MATLAB/Simulink models to ensure that all software meets quality standards. •Research advanced control methods and their potential for improving closed-loop system performance. •Update/tune existing software implementation to support released products. •Reduce order modeling of system/subsystem that enables efficient exploration of controller design space. •Integrate and test new controller designs on hardware with different maturity levels: prototype to released hardware. •Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methods. •Partner with the greater software organization, systems engineering, and validation groups and prepare and participate in design reviews. •Define and review software requirements, and document or participate in the documentation of the software including architecture and design detail, unit testing, anomaly tracking and reports.
