Aegis Worldwide is recruiting a Controls Engineer to develop ECU-based controls for turbocharger and powertrain applications. This product development role combines controls modeling and simulation with hands-on bench testing, controller tuning, and data analysis. Experience with race-engine controls, engine calibration, or automotive powertrain development transfers well to this work.
What you'll do
- Develop and simulate control strategies for turbocharger systems and related motors, valves, sensors, and actuators.
- Build and refine control models using MATLAB and Simulink, and work with test engineers to validate them on hardware.
- Calibrate and tune controllers, troubleshoot issues on the bench, and analyze test data to identify root causes and verify fixes.
- Work with systems, software, and test engineers to define controls requirements and trace them through implementation and validation.
- Support the integration of electronics and sensors into mechatronic systems.
What you'll bring
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- At least three years of relevant experience in vehicle ECU controls, engine calibration, powertrain controls, or closely related controls development.
- Hands-on experience with vehicle or engine ECUs and experience using MATLAB or Simulink.
- Working knowledge of control theory and the ability to interpret test data and troubleshoot hardware or software behavior.
Preferred experience
- Motorsports or NASCAR engine development, automotive OEM or supplier powertrain development, or turbocharger controls.
- ECU calibration and data acquisition tools such as ETAS INCA, ATI, or Vector, and familiarity with CAN, XCP, or CCP.
- Stateflow, electric motor controls, instrumentation, or functional safety.
The interview process starts with a Microsoft Teams call and may include a second virtual interview.
