What is a system control?

System Control jobs involve monitoring, managing, and maintaining the reliable operation of complex systems, such as electrical grids, water distribution networks, or industrial processes. Professionals in this field use advanced software and equipment to ensure systems run efficiently and respond quickly to any issues. They play a critical role in preventing disruptions, optimizing performance, and ensuring safety standards are met. System Control jobs often require technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work in high-pressure environments.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a system control professional?

To thrive as a System Control professional, you need a solid understanding of electrical and mechanical systems, systems analysis, and a relevant engineering degree or technical certification. Familiarity with SCADA systems, PLC programming, and industry-standard control software is commonly required. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you respond quickly to system issues and coordinate with team members. These competencies ensure reliable system operations, minimize downtime, and support safe, efficient performance in critical infrastructure environments.

How does a system control professional typically collaborate with other departments within an organization?

System Control professionals often work closely with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of critical systems. Regular communication is necessary to coordinate planned outages, respond to system alerts, and implement operational improvements. This role may also involve participating in cross-functional meetings to discuss system performance, troubleshoot issues, and develop strategies for optimizing processes. Effective collaboration ensures smooth workflows and minimizes downtime, making teamwork a key aspect of the position.

What is the difference between System Control vs Control Room Operator?

AspectSystem ControlControl Room Operator
Required credentialsTypically requires technical certifications or training in control systemsOften requires operational training and sometimes certifications in safety procedures
Work environmentOperates in control centers managing complex systems like power plants or manufacturing linesWorks in control rooms monitoring and managing equipment in industrial or utility settings
Employer and industry usageCommon in utilities, manufacturing, and energy sectorsPrevalent in utilities, transportation, and industrial facilities

System Control and Control Room Operator roles share similarities in monitoring and managing systems, but System Control often involves overseeing complex, integrated control systems with specialized certifications, while Control Room Operators focus on operational oversight and safety procedures within specific facilities.

What can you do with system control?

A system control professional manages and monitors computer systems, networks, or industrial processes to ensure proper operation and security. They may configure hardware and software, troubleshoot issues, and implement system updates, often using specialized tools and following safety protocols.

Job description

Master Motion Control for the Toughest Terrain. The Next Generation of Heavy Equipment Control Starts with You!
What Makes This Role Great:
In this role, you will be designing automatic motion control systems algorithms for off-highway industrial machinery such as tractors, combines, excavators, and dozers. Responsibilities include developing, maintaining, and optimizing core control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink, and integrating these into products.
Key Exciting Responsibilities:
  • System Architecture & Requirements: Partner with domain experts and project teams to architect positioning and control systems and establish realistic, achievable requirements.
  • Algorithm Design & Model-Based Design (MBD):Design, develop, and productize core control law algorithms-including feedback/feedforward loop compensation, signal conditioning, and filter/state estimation for optimal pose estimation-utilizing MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Vehicle Dynamics Modeling:Develop and validate non-linear vehicle dynamics plant models.
  • System & Software Architecture: Define robust system and software architectures while writing clean, well-documented, and maintainable code and models.
  • Validation & Physical Testing: Validate control algorithms through simulations (SIL/HIL) and physical on-machine testing to ensure ongoing performance and product quality.
  • Quality Assurance:Identify and write test cases mapped to control requirements to maintain high-quality software standards.
  • Development Tooling:Create and maintain custom data processing tools to support the overall development, analysis, and deployment processes.

Essential Skills & Experience:
  • Core Experience: 5+ years of experience in control algorithm development for dynamic systems.
  • Education: Master's or PhD in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, GNC, or a related engineering field (preferred).
  • Technical Expertise: Strong foundation in classical and modern control theory, with extensive MATLAB/Simulink development experience.
  • Domain Knowledge: Hands-on experience with automatic control of off-highway industrial machinery.
  • Testing & Productization: Experience in testing, verification, validation, and productization of algorithms, including the use of plant simulation tools.
  • Data & Analytics: Experience with data acquisition, processing, and analytics to support testing and validation of developed control systems.
  • Processes: Familiarity with requirements decomposition and management tools.
  • Travel: Ability to travel up to 10% annually.

Bonus Points For:
  • State Estimation & Sensor Fusion: Expertise in Kalman filters, GNSS+IMU state estimation, and sensor fusion for pose estimation.
  • Advanced Control Systems: Experience designing and addressing control challenges within hydraulic and electro-hydraulic actuation systems.
  • Automation & GNC: Background in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) for autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicles, aerospace, marine, or defense systems.
  • Advanced MBD & Simulation: Experience with Systems Identification, Simscape, Simulink auto-code generation, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) / Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing.
  • Software Development: Proficiency in C/C++ software development and familiarity with the ROS ecosystem.
  • Certifications: Experience in safety-critical software development and certification processes.
  • Artificial Intelligence Integration: Proven track record of evaluating and incorporating modern AI methodologies and tools into control system engineering workflows and product design.
