Job Summary:

The Control Systems section within the Sensor Power Department (SPD) has an exciting employment opportunity for a Senior Engineer with motion control experience. This role requires an understanding and working knowledge of classic control theory and vector control of electric motors; familiarity with IGBT- or MOSFET-based power electronics inverters used as motor drives (including rectifier front end); and familiarity with induction and permanent magnet electric machines.

The Control Systems section is a team of engineers responsible for supporting the design, development and validation of power and actuation (servo) subsystems for various radar systems and other defense applications.

As a Senior Engineer - Motion Control you will be responsible for supporting and driving the execution of product development projects. You will be working as or with a Team/Technical Lead and under the guidance of an Integrated Product Team (IPT) Lead.

SPD is responsible for design engineering including the following areas:

• Power System Design - Power System Noise, System Simulation and Modeling, Solid State Transmitters, Tube Transmitters, High Voltage Design, Power Sources, Generators
• Power Conversion - AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC, Linear and Switching Supplies, Power Factor Correction (PFC), Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), Resonant Circuits, Synchronization, Noise Controls
• Power Distribution - Ground, Air, Shipboard, and Space, Power Generation, Line Voltage, High Current, Low Voltage, Micro-Power, DC, AC, Multi-Phase Power Control, Fault Reporting, Isolation, Protection Circuits, Redundant Systems
• Power Sub-System Design - Filters, Harmonic Control, EMI, Circuit Simulation, Magnetics, Protective Relay Systems, Short Circuit and Stress Analyses
• Control Systems - Servo Control Systems, Motor/Power/Process Control, Digital Feedback Systems, Command Generation, Inertial Stabilization, Navigation Algorithms

This position is an onsite role.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Designing and evaluating servo control hardware and/or software solutions to meet system operational and performance requirements
• Developing models and controllers for actuation systems (including mechanical subsystems)
• Establishing performance, stability and control metrics along with the algorithms necessary to achieve them
• Supporting system integration efforts
• Ownership and execution of scope, cost and schedule within programs and projects with minimum supervision
• Defining tasks and providing direction to junior-level engineering and support staff
• Participating in peer and program reviews as a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
• Other tasks as required by the Section Lead and/or Department Lead.
• Up to 10% travel may be required.
• Work in a multidisciplinary team environment focused on execution and engineering excellence, using established business, and engineering tools and processes
• Interact with internal and external customers and leadership team members.
• Commute to Andover, Woburn and/or Marlborough sites as needed.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.
• 5 years of experience in power system design, power conversion, power distribution, power sub-system design and/or control systems
• Experience in modeling and simulation using PSPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar computer-based tools.
• Experience with hardware and software implementation of closed-loop position/speed control actuation systems (including feedback sensing and protections)
• Experience with 1-100 kW systems (bus voltages in the range of 270-1000 VDC)
• Experience in control system design using Matlab/Simulink or equivalent
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Understanding and working knowledge of classic control theory and vector control of electric motors
• Familiarity with IGBT- or MOSFET-based power electronics inverters used as motor drives (including rectifier front end
• Familiarity with induction and permanent magnet electric machines.
• Prior experience as engineering Team Lead (hardware, electrical or integration)
• Understanding and working knowledge of non-linear systems and control theory
• Hands-on experience with PWM or SVM for voltage modulation in power electronics inverters
• Hands-on experience with software (i.e. DSP) or firmware (i.e. FPGA) implementation of vector controllers for electric machines
• Hands-on experience designing power electronics inverters or controlled rectifiers
• Ability to create system models capturing implementation-specific characteristics such as propagation delays, quantization, discrete time, sensor non-linearities, etc.
• Familiarity with Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) systems and their use for motion control applications
• Understanding and working knowledge of project management (including EVMS)
• Understanding and working knowledge of requirements management (including DOORS)
• Familiarity with commercial or military power input/quality requirements and specifications (DO-160, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-1399 or MIL-STD-1275)
• Existing US DoD security clearance
