Control Systems Engineer

Your Responsibilites

As a Control Systems Engineer for JD Dubuque Works located in Dubuque, Iowa, you will:

• Design and develop next-generation control algorithms that enhance product performance and support automation capabilities.
• Create advanced sensor fusion algorithms and control models for object tracking of automated perception systems on several construction product lines.
• Collaborate with Dynamic Systems Modeling (DSM) engineers & robotic simulation engineers to integrate and improve common library toolsets, workflows, and processes to lead the development of physics-based simulation models and control algorithms (using Model Based System Development methodology) to support all stages of virtual verification from Model-in-the-Loop (MiL), Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), Processor-in-the-Loop (PiL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), to Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) performance testing that drives product design decisions.
• Collaborate with product design teams to define continuous improvement opportunities, expand virtual test capability, and correlate simulation with physical test results.
• You will also develop a growing understanding of product function, customer application, and machine operation. 

VISA sponsorship is available for this position.

What Skills You Need

• 2 or more years applied engineering experience in control theory, sensor fusion, or robotics/kinematics.
• 2 or more years of experience in knowledge of advanced automations used in construction equipment.
• 2 or more years of experience in using MATLAB, Simscape, and Simulink for comprehensive simulation and analysis of complex mechanical systems.
• Experience in demonstrating knowledge utilizing advanced mathematical concepts to solve engineering problems related to design, performance optimization, and system control.
• Experience in capabilities in conducting statistical analysis to extract insights from field data and virtual models, correlate responses, and maximize model accuracy for continuous system improvement.
• 2 or more years of experience in knowledge of earthmoving equipment production systems, customer applications, and experience operating construction equipment.
• Experience in authoring technical design guidelines, control theory documentation, or research papers. 

What Makes You Standout

• Experience working with perception system sensors (vision, radar, lidar, ultrasonics).
• Deep understanding of sensor fusion algorithms, particularly Kalman filters.
• Advanced degree in an engineering discipline.

Education

Ideally you will have a degree or equivalent related work experience in the following:
