Senior Actuation Systems Engineer - Schneller

Key Responsibilities

• Define, design, and implement control actuation systems from concept through test and entry‑into‑service, adhering to military and aerospace standards.
• Develop and manage system requirements, decompose customer needs, and allocate them to hardware, software, and mechanical components.
• Create and validate system models using MATLAB/Simulink and perform model‑based design, simulation, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing.
• Lead integration of embedded firmware (C/C++) with power electronics and mechanical actuation hardware, ensuring compliance with DO‑178C/DO‑254 where applicable.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—mechanical, electrical, software, and test engineering—to verify system performance and resolve issues.
• Produce technical documentation, test plans, and verification reports for certification and field deployment.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in control systems and actuation design for defense or aerospace programs.
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ development and real‑time control firmware.
• Strong hands‑on experience with MATLAB/Simulink, model‑based design, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing.
• Knowledge of relevant standards (e.g., MIL‑STD, DO‑178C, DO‑254) and ability to produce compliant documentation.
