Controls Engineering (Graduate & Internship Opportunities)

Responsibilities

• Develop hardware and firmware solutions for the control of microturbines, including component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, firmware development.
• Select and integrate new ancillaries for engine operation, coordinating their mechanical integration with the design team.
• Assist with the testing of new controls features, both at our on-site test facilities and off-site with customers.
• Assist with the integration of the controls system into complex and varied flight systems.
• Support engineering reviews within the controls team, maintaining high standards of clarity and accuracy.
• Investigating and root-causing failures and defects, ranging from non-conforming components to system controls failures.
• Work within a young, fast paced, agile development team in collaboration with other engineers and technicians.
• Work collaboratively to solve complex problems with innovative solutions.
• Essential skills
• Working towards or holding a degree in Mechatronics, Electronic Engineering, or a related discipline, with a minimum 2:1 classification (or equivalent)
• Experience of projects involving embedded systems.
• Understanding of software design patterns, best practices and principles.
• Excellent problem-solving ability and capability to convert complex problems into actions with practical solutions.
• Adaptable, organised, and able to prioritise multiple workstreams.
• Willingness to get hands on with manufacturing and testing processes.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in cross-functional teams.
• Desired skills
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout, harness design.
• Proficient in the use of C or C++.
