This individual would be responsible for the design and development of the control architecture and algorithms for HVAC products (Truck-trailer and Container refrigeration systems).

The ideal candidate is excited by Model-Based control development and new control technologies.

Each day, the engineering team is working to meet some of the most unique and exciting global challenges. In order to maintain our role as global leaders, we continue to seek talented, ambitious individuals to join engineering. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are looking for an opportunity to apply your technical expertise, then we have a great opportunity for you. We are seeking an innovative, data-driven, results-oriented team member to contribute to our continued legacy of innovation and success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Modeling: Support Model-Based Development activities through the development of physics-based transient models for controls analysis and design.
• Controls analysis and design: Use models for controls design including but not limited to setpoint specification and maps, as well as regulator design and tuning, failure handling, optimization, and diagnostics.
• Controls MBD: Define/develop Control system requirements, Control verification & validation
  • model-in-loop simulation
  • software-in-loop simulation
  • rapid prototyping control
• Software Integration: support control software integration
• Data analysis and experimental design: Interact with team members from the lab to support the design of experiments and analysis of experimental data for both model validation and controller performance verification. Support field trials and address control-related issues.
• Balances the responsibilities of sustaining and new product development projects
• Participates in risk identification reviews
• Responsible for individual contributions and leading small projects or providing technical leadership within the MBD discipline
• Makes a significant contribution to their team by applying their knowledge of model-based design discipline
• Works with moderate guidance on projects with a short-term and long-term focus

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors in Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in New Product Introduction and Control Systems development

Preferred Qualifications:

• Masters in Engineering and 3+ years of experience in New Product Introduction and Control Systems development.
• Physics-based and empirical modeling experience including but not limited to usage of Modelica as a plant modeling tool as well as Matlab/Simulink for controls analysis and design. Experience with debugging and speedup of numeric solvers desired.
• Simulink modeling for
  • control algorithms
  • auto-code generation
  • control verification & validation.
• Control algorithm development in industrial environments including linear and nonlinear regulator design techniques. Preferred experience in multivariable synthesis, hybrid control, and model or learning-based control strategies.
• Experience in MBD workflows for system design - from requirements specification, to design, and to performance verification.
• Experience in working in cross-discipline teams across a variety of physical locations (a-synchronous development).
• Scientific computing – proficiency in Python, Matlab, and Simulink. Desired experience in Modelica, FMU usage, parallel computation, and HPC.
• Strong organizational, verbal, and written communication skills and ability to work across business units and other engineering functions.
• HVAC System design experience preferred
