Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement control systems (PID, adaptive, model-based) for target tracking and stabilization platforms.
  • Develop and implement real-time control algorithms for electro-optical systems, ensuring high precision and smooth operation.
  • Create mathematical models and simulations to predict performance and refine control strategies in dynamic environments.
  • Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate control systems with sensors (IMU, gyroscopes, accelerometers) and actuators.
  • Conduct system tuning, validation, and optimization to meet stability, accuracy, and response time targets.
  • Test, troubleshoot, and document control algorithms in both lab and field environments to ensure performance and reproducibility.
  • Create and deliver technical papers, reports, and proposals to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Support laboratory testing and qualification efforts for optical systems and sensor products.
  • Develop test plans, collect and analyze data, and document results.
  • Assist business development by conducting market studies, evaluating emerging technologies in optical sensor systems, and providing recommendations.
  • Provide mentorship, technical oversight, and task delegation as needed.

Education & Experience:

  • Master’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or a related field (PhD preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience in control systems engineering, with a focus on gimbal stabilization.
  • Strong understanding of control theory and control system design (PID, state-space, adaptive control) and model-based approaches for dynamic systems.
  • Experience designing control algorithms for stabilization and tracking systems, such as gimbals and optical platforms.
  • Hands-on experience implementing real-time control algorithms in embedded systems, PLCs, or DSPs.
  • Proficiency in system modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Knowledge of C, C++ for embedded system development is a plus.
  • Experience working with sensors (gyroscopes, accelerometers, etc.) and actuators used in target tracking and stabilization.
  • Expertise in testing, tuning, and validating control systems for high-precision applications in dynamic environments.

Key Skills:

  • Control System Design: PID, state-space, adaptive control.
  • Algorithm Development: Real-time control for tracking and stabilization.
  • System Modeling & Simulation: MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Embedded Systems & Programming: C, C++ (preferred), PLCs, DSPs.
