About the role

  • Associate or Mid-Level Controls Engineer at Boeing focused on developing advanced control algorithms. Working with world-class telescopes and systems for Space Domain Awareness at Kirtland AFB.

Responsibilities

  • Develop high-fidelity mathematical models of dynamic systems (e.g., 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
  • 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
  • Create detailed control system design specifications, mathematical derivations, simulation reports, and validation plans

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
  • 1+ 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
  • 3+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience (preferred)
  • Active U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearance (preferred)
  • 3+ years in at least one relevant programming language (e.g., C/C++, Python) for algorithm implementation or data analysis (preferred)
  • 3+ years of professional experience in designing, modeling, and implementing advanced control algorithms for dynamic systems (preferred)
  • Experience with at least two or more advanced control techniques (e.g., MPC, LQR, robust control, adaptive control) (preferred)
  • Background in developing robust control systems for telescopes, addressing challenges in pointing accuracy, vibration suppression, and thermal stability (preferred)

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Flexible spending accounts
  • Health savings accounts
  • Retirement savings plans
  • Life and disability insurance programs
  • Paid time off
