Controls Engineer Manager Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

Job Description SummaryIntergalactic, now a part of Unison, a GE Aerospace Company, is a team of engineers, technologists, designers, mathematicians, and problem solvers committed to a singular idea: reviving the no-boundaries mentality in aerospace. We are a team of the nation's best, regardless of where we live.
The Aerospace Systems Dynamics and Control Engineer fosters innovation and consistency by developing and being accountable for system-level control architectures and control law design. In cooperation with the Program Management team, the Aerospace Systems Dynamics and Control Engineer leads the control logic formulation and implementation for technical development projects. This role is responsible for the technical execution of the system controls for program while also serving as the primary technical point of contact for clients regarding controls architecture. During the program, the Aerospace Systems Dynamics and Controls Engineer works in tandem with the Systems Engineers and Software Engineers to coordinate the development and architecting of control laws, Built-In Test Formation, decomposing system level requirements into lower level controls requirements for software implementation, selecting appropriate valves and electronics to the control design, dynamic transient modeling and analysis, and testing for tasks such as gains tuning and system verification and validation.Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Develop and be responsible for program's system control architecture and technical approach. This can include dynamic and transient thermal analysis, controls analysis, reliability analysis, testing, test analysis, and other accepted methods in aerospace for the development and verification and validation of controls.

• Identify and manage program's technical risks with regards to system controls.

• Serve as technical controls lead for programs, provide clear objectives that are measurable and attainable, and coordinate technical activities with internal resources (engineers across different functional groups including analysis, software, and electrical) and external resources (vendors, contractors).

• Work closely with the Systems Engineer and other engineering disciplines to optimize system design and ensure successful execution of development programs.

• Manage and account for technical requirements from the top down - traceability, decomposition, derivation, and verification & validation for transient performance, fault detection, and controls stability.

• Decompose high-level dynamic and controls requirements into lower-level specifications to internal functional groups, components, and suppliers as applicable.

• Researching and recommending investments or changes in technology, toolsets, procedures, equipment, systems, etc. to continually improve the discipline health and the Intergalactic's products and service

• Communicate and collaborate with customers and suppliers as part of design development process.

• Review and approve documentation for transition from prototype to production.

• Provide engineering support to trouble shoot and diagnose non-performing products (RCCA, lessons learned, etc.).

• Work with software and integration engineers to implement, test, and debug control law algorithms

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in linear/nonlinear controls systems and analysis and solvers including as in depth knowledge of transient/dynamic system modeling and architecting control laws and BIT.

• Willingness to travel up to 10% (domestic and international)

Desired Characteristics:

• Experience with Vapor Cycle Systems (VCS), Liquid Cooling Systems (LCS) and/or Air Cycle Systems (ACS)

• Expertise and experience in constructing physics based dynamic models of components in Thermal Management Systems such as heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, turbines, valves, fans, etc..

• Strong coding/scripting experience (preferably in MATLAB or Python).

• Expertise with Simulink including auto-coding.

• Expertly conduct accepted dynamic/controls analysis such as full flight envelope simulations, System Identification, Relative Gain Analysis, Monte Carlo Random Walk (system controls robustness), transient pull up and pull down performance analysis, stability analysis, signals processing, etc.

• Knowledge and experience in designing SISO, MISO, and MIMO type closed loop control laws for thermal systems to optimize cooling and power consumption and protective controls for safety.

• Working knowledge of key aerospace technical disciplines including mechanical design, materials, modeling/documentation, structural analysis, thermal fluid sciences, electrical systems, system controls, embedded controls, development testing and analysis, qualification analysis and testing.
