Controls Engineer-Model Based Design
On-siteShady Grove, Pennsylvania, United States
Job Summary
Develop dynamic system models and control algorithms using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow to guide Manitowoc's next-generation control system architecture. Design supervisory logic, generate embedded production code, and support integration, debugging, and release activities across the mobile crane lifecycle. Collaborate with mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical engineers to translate system requirements into executable models while enforcing Model-Based Design standards and building reusable framework components. Execute requirements-based verification, including MIL, SIL, and HIL testing, and apply functional safety principles in accordance with ISO 13849. Mentor team members on MBD workflows and tools. Requires a Bachelor's degree in engineering and 5+ years of control system development experience.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience developing control systems using Model-Based Design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) or equivalent and relevant work experience.
- Strong understanding of control theory, system dynamics, signal processing, and simulation techniques.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.
- Travel Required: International & Domestic 10%
Desired Qualifications
- Master's degree in engineering or related technical discipline.
- Proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow for developing control algorithms and supervisory logic.
- Experience with CAN, J1939, Ethernet, diagnostics, and telematics systems.
- Knowledge of functional safety standards such as EN ISO 13849, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or DO-178C.
- Experience with HIL systems and real-time simulation platforms.
- Experience with plant modeling and simulation for virtual system validation, control algorithm development, and Model-Based Design workflows.
- Experience with Git-based version control for Simulink models, MATLAB Projects, and compare and merge Simulink models commands.
- Experience with Simscape, System Composer, Requirements Toolbox, Simulink Test, Simulink Coverage, Simulink Design Verifier, and Embedded Coder.
- Working knowledge of C/C++ sufficient to review and understand generated code and interface with hand-coded modules.
- Experience with requirements management, systems engineering processes, and V-model development framework.
- Background in off-highway, construction, agricultural, or other heavy-duty mobile equipment; ability to interpret electrical and hydraulic schematics and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
