About This Role

About the Company A leading technology company with over a century of innovation, this organization designs and manufactures some of the world's most critical machinery and infrastructure solutions. Operating across a global footprint, they are known for engineering excellence and a culture that empowers individuals to do meaningful, lasting work. The Role This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer passionate about the intersection of mechanical systems and advanced controls to join a high-performing engine controls team. In this individual contributor role, you will focus on the design, development, and validation of electro-mechanical and mechatronic systems aimed at optimizing engine performance and emissions output. Working alongside experienced technical leads, you will apply control theory, simulation modeling, and hands-on testing to deliver solutions that meet demanding customer specifications. What You Will Do • Partner with cross-functional teams to define and refine engine control system requirements, ensuring alignment across engineering disciplines. • Apply dynamic feedback control principles — spanning frequency and time domain methods, MIMO systems, digital signal processing, and filter design — to develop and evaluate control features. • Build and maintain Model-in-Loop simulation environments using Matlab/Simulink and GT-Power to support algorithm design and verification activities. • Conduct on-engine testing and use advanced data analysis tools such as Vector CANape, Matlab, and Python to interpret and present results. • Produce clear, well-documented engineering analyses and deliver actionable recommendations to technical stakeholders in a timely manner. What We Are Looking For • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Electronics Engineering • Professional experience in dynamic feedback control theory applied to engine systems • Hands-on background with spark-ignited engine control design and analysis • Proficiency with Matlab/Simulink for simulation and algorithm development • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to varied audiences The ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in control systems engineering and has applied that knowledge directly within an engine or powertrain environment. You are comfortable moving between simulation and physical testing, and you understand how to translate data into decisions. This role calls for someone who can work independently while collaborating effectively with technical leads and cross-functional partners. Strong communication skills are just as important as technical depth — you will be expected to present findings and recommendations with clarity and confidence. Nice to Have There are no additional preferred qualifications specified for this role beyond the core requirements listed above. What We Offer This is a full-time, on-site position based in the United States, offering the opportunity to work hands-on with sophisticated engine systems in a collaborative engineering environment. You will be part of a team with deep technical expertise and a strong legacy of innovation, with real opportunities to grow your skills, take on increasing responsibility, and make a tangible impact on products that power critical infrastructure around the world.
