Engine Control Systems Engineer

Chillicothe, Illinois

Full Time

This role encompasses the design, development, and validation of electro-mechanical systems and mechatronic devices with the aim of optimizing engine performance and emissions. As an individual contributor within the Large Engine Controls team in the Large Power Systems Division (LPSD), you will be responsible for designing, building, and testing control strategies specific to LPSD engines. Working under the direction of technical team leads, you will apply your knowledge of engine systems, dynamic feedback control theory, simulation, and testing to meet customer specifications. Key responsibilities include collaborating with colleagues to refine system requirements, developing and verifying control algorithms through simulation and on-engine testing, as well as comprehensively documenting and presenting results.

What you will do:

Collaborate with process partners to develop and refine engine control system requirements.

Utilize expertise in engines and dynamic feedback controls—including frequency and time domain design, Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) systems, digital signal processing, filter design, and logical control methodologies—to design and evaluate control features.

Develop and maintain Matlab/Simulink and GT-Power-based Model-in-Loop (MiL) simulation framework for use in design and verification of control algorithms.

Analyze and present data using advanced analysis and visualization tools such as Vector CANape, Matlab, and Python.

Deliver timely, high-quality simulation-driven design analyses and provide clear, actionable recommendations to stakeholders.

Education and Experience Requirements:

A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical/Electronics Engineering is required

Professional experience in dynamic feedback control theory applied to design and analysis of spark-ignited engine control systems
