Apple's Special Projects Group is seeking a full-time engineer to join our Controls Engineering group. Candidate will be responsible for integration of control algorithms for complex electromechanical systems

Key Qualifications

• Practical knowledge of systems theory and control systems design, including classical and modern control methodologies.
• Practical knowledge of sensor and actuator physics.
• Experience integrating real-time safety-critical control algorithms and embedded control software on microcontroller platforms.
• Experience with electromechanical integration of mechatronic systems:
• -- serial communications: Ethernet, CAN, LIN, UART, SPI
• -- low voltage and high voltage power systems and I/O /
• -- basic mechanical component assembly
• Experience with commercial rapid controls prototyping systems, e.g. dSPACE.
• -- I/O configuration, model configuration, test automation, fault injection
• -- runtime operation, data visualization, collection, and analysis
• Experience testing controllers on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems.
• Proficiency in MathWorks tools: MATLAB/Simulink is a must. Simulink-RT preferred.
• Proficiency in Python is a must. C/C++ preferred.
• Proficiency in modern software development workflows and practices, including version control, build and test systems, and peer review.

We are seeking a highly motivated controls integration engineer to support the development of controls for complex dynamical systems.
- Collaborate in highly cross-functional environment and work closely with control design engineers, software engineers, systems integration engineers, and sensor and actuator design engineers.
- Lead the planning and execution of control integration milestones, from simulation-based testing to verification on real hardware in broad operating conditions.
- Work with software team to ensure robust controller implementation on embedded microcontrollers.
- Work with modeling team to integrate models and controllers into simulation environment for rapid development and validation.
