Your Title: GNC Engineer - Control Systems

Job Location: Westminster, CO 

Our Department: Trimble Ag Industry Solutions (AgIS) 

Is designing automatic motion control systems algorithms from the ground up something that excites you?

What You Will Do

You would be joining the core development team for these systems. The work would include developing/maintaining core algorithms to control steering and other features in off-highway industrial machinery (tractors, combines, excavators, dozers, etc...). You will be using MATLAB/Simulink or C/C++ to model/develop/maintain the algorithms, analyze and optimize vehicle performance, and integrate the functionality into releasable products.

Design, development, and productization of control law algorithms

Work with Matlab/Simulink utilizing model-based design (MBD)

Utilize your experience with sensor fusion and filter design (e.g LKF, EKF) for pose estimation

Design signal conditioning and feedback loop compensation (e.g. notch, lead-lag filters)

Development, characterization, and validation of non-linear vehicle dynamics plant models

Develop and eEvaluate the algorithms in both simulation and in the target operating environments

Support the integration, deployment, and performance validation of algorithms on real-time hardware/operating systems

Define the system/software architecture 

Foster ongoing testing and testability in building quality products 

What Skills & Experience You Should Bring

8+ years of demonstrable experience with control algorithm development for dynamic physical systems

A Master’s Degree or PhD degree in an engineering discipline such as Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, GNC, Mechatronics, or other related degree is required

Experience with Matlab/Simulink Product Development

Practical controls experience, specifically in the automatic controls of off-highway industrial machinery 

Direct experience with test, verification, validation and productization of algorithms

Experience with requirements decomposition and management tools

Experience with exploiting plant simulation tools throughout the product development process 

What Skills & Experience You Could Bring

15+ years of applicable work experience

State estimation (Kalman filters) development experience

Experience leading small technical project and project management

Simulink auto-code generation

Loosely/Tightly coupled GNSS+IMU state estimation 

Autonomous/Semi-autonomous vehicle control

Experience with Systems Identification, Simscape, or similar plant modeling tools and concepts

Safety-critical software development and certification

HIL and SIL testing

Proficiency in production-grade C/C++ software development

Experience with ROS ecosystem

Missile, ship, submarine, or autonomous vehicle guidance, navigation & control background

Ability to travel (including international) up to 10% per year
