Controls Engineer HVAC (80-100%)

As a Control Engineer, you are responsible for the design and specification of control concepts and control algorithms for embedded products and systems. Your primary focus is on control-theoretic correctness, robustness, performance and documentation, providing a solid and reusable technical basis for implementation. You derive application-oriented control solutions based on deep mathematical understanding of the plant and system behavior.

• Develop application models with a clear mathematical understanding of system dynamics.
• Design and justify suitable controller structures, including controller structures (e.g. I, PI, feedforward components, state-space controllers (e.g. LQR); dimensions (e.g. filters, deadbands, predictors); cycle times and sampling strategies based on system behavior and constraints.
• Support the derivation and clarification of control-relevant performance requirements (e.g. dynamics, stability margins)
• Translate system and application requirements into control design targets.
• Create structured design documentation for application model assumptions, mathematical formulations, control architecture and rational, parametrization, etc.
• Provide MATLAB Simulation models for integration with plant models for concept and design validation.
• Support software implementation during transition by answering control-related questions and reviewing implementation concepts.
• Close collaboration with system architects, development engineers and software application implementation.

• University degree (ETH/Uni/FH) in Control Engineering, Cybernetics, Mechatronics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline. 
• Strong proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink (incl. Simscape) for system modeling, simulation, and analysis.
• Solid understanding of control systems, dynamic systems, and signal processing as well as experience with model-based design (MBD) and simulation workflows (MIL, SIL, HIL).
• Familiarity with embedded systems and real-time simulation environments.
• Knowledge of code generation tools (e.g., Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder) is a plus.
• Skilled in interpreting system specifications and translating them into simulation models.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail. You are an effective communicator and collaborator across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).
