Control Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a Control Engineer to design, analyse and validate advanced control systems for power electronics and power systems. The Control Engineer will play a pivotal role in developing robust control algorithms and performing detailed stability and bandwidth analyses. They will also be responsible for validating control performance through simulation and experimental testing, all in support of the development of high-performance, reliable energy conversion systems. 

Your Responsibilities

• Develop control algorithms for power electronics converters and power systems
• Use classical and modern control techniques to analyse system dynamics, stability regions and bandwidth limitations
• Design robust control strategies to ensure stable and reliable operation under varying conditions and in the presence of uncertainty
• Develop mathematical models of power electronic systems and controlled plants
• Conduct small-signal and large-signal analyses using frequency-domain and time-domain methods
• Design and tune controllers using PI techniques, state-space control, observer-based methods or equivalents
• Simulate control systems using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or similar environments
• Validate the performance of controls through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing or experimental measurements
• Work closely with power electronics, firmware and systems engineers to implement integrated controls
• Support the implementation of control algorithms on digital platforms such as microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
• Analyse experimental results and correlate them with simulations and theoretical predictions
• Prepare technical documentation, control design reports and validation summaries
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of control design methodologies and best practices

Your Qualifications & Skills

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering, Systems Engineering or a closely related field
• Previous professional experience in a similar role
• Strong background in control algorithms for power systems and power electronics
