From Home Matlab Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position Overview

The Electrical Engineer has a range of responsibilities including controls systems design, specification, programming, simulation and testing as well as electrical design and mechanical systems integration. The goal of the position is to develop an in-house capability to design, develop, test, and deliver in prototype and production quantities electrical, electronic, and controls level projects for our customers. Various projects will require knowledge and understanding of programming, electrical design, mechanical design and systems integration along with the ability to reverse engineer COTS items to incorporate certain features of an existing vehicle or component system into a new product or product range or system. Vehicle testing and developmental timelines can be fast paced at times, and experience in this environment is a plus. The position requires the ability to design, develop, and implement according to standard engineering practices as well as provide detailed documentation upon project completion. Working with existing MSI engineering resources, the Electrical Engineer would be at the forefront of product development in our industry. This person may be responsible for some project management activities, and it is envisioned that over time the Electrical Engineer will develop a team around him or her to be able to tackle more diverse, more complicated, and more challenging programs and projects.

The Electrical Engineer reports to the Director of Engineering Operations. This position requires a full-time work week spent in the engineering office/MSI facilities. Normal hours are Monday through Thursday 7:00am-4:30pm, and Friday 7:00am-12:00pm is optional work from home. Limited travel should be expected for testing and development.

Key Responsibilities

• Controls – Specifying hardware and programming to develop functioning systems to control various electro-hydraulic systems. This could range from a damper required to change characteristics based on a series of inputs to developing a piece of test equipment to developing an engine controller. (Programming will be done primarily in C, C++, LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink), Functional Block Diagram, Parker IQAN, and Danfoss PLUS+1 as well as other languages as needed. Experience with embedded controls, microcontrollers are required, and model-based development is desired.
• Design – The integration of electronic hardware with mechanical components will require embedded systems design, microcontroller-based development, PCB layout and lite design, schematic capture (currently AutoCAD Electrical, Visio for high-level diagrams), research and development, prototyping, and production transition. The candidate should have the ability to take the design through concept to prototype and production utilizing our tools. Hands-on PCB troubleshooting and familiarity with common interfaces such as I2C, high-speed communications (Ethernet, USB), and debug/diagnostic tools are expected. Engine component analysis and calibration could be required, and experience in this realm is beneficial to the candidate.
• Systems Integration – Projects will often interface with non-MSI systems requiring strong working knowledge of automotive communication protocols including CAN bus messaging and implementation (required), J1939, LIN, and other vehicle networks. Experience with Bluetooth applications and automotive troubleshooting is a strong plus. Wiring harness design, construction, and hands-on wire harness experience are required. Understanding of road vehicles and mechanics is also a plus.
• Documentation and Records - Maintain a record of all projects with necessary documentation, drawings, schematics, wire harness documentation, and software revision history. Produce reports detailing analysis and design changes. Experience with wiring harness design, documentation, and revision control is required.

Skills and Qualifications Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, accredited engineering program.
• Motivated, highly organized and responsible, and able to interact with all types of people under pressure
• Understanding of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office.
• Strong controls experience (theory and hands-on implementation).
• Programming Experience (C, C++, LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink preferred, Parker IQAN.
• Electronic Design Experience (Embedded Systems Design, Microcontrollers, PCB lite design & troubleshooting, Prototyping, Production).
• Working knowledge of automotive communication protocols including CAN bus (required), I2C, Ethernet, USB.
• Schematic capture experience (AutoCAD Electrical current tool, Visio a plus).
• Wire harness design, documentation, and hands-on experience (required).
• Mechanical Design Experience (a plus, but not required).
• Automotive or vehicle systems troubleshooting experience (strongly preferred).
• Proactive, hands-on strategic thinker who will own the responsibility for their engineering duties.
• Must be able to verify U.S. Person Status as defined by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
• Ability to obtain security clearance if deemed necessary for position.

Physical Requirements

Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer. Must be able to lift 15 pounds at times. Must be able to access and navigate each department at the organization's facilities.
