About The Position

Matter is hiring a Control Systems Engineer to develop and validate the control approaches that enable stable, accurate performance of our sensing systems. The role will connect modeling and simulation with hardware integration, test, and real-world system behavior.

Requirements

• Strong foundation in dynamics, feedback control, estimation, and system modeling.
• Experience developing, simulating, and validating controls for a physical system.
• Ability to work across analytical models, software implementation, hardware interfaces, and test data.
• Clear technical communication and disciplined documentation of assumptions and performance results.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with aerospace, robotics, precision pointing, optical systems, or other tightly controlled hardware.
• Experience with real-time systems and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Familiarity with sensor fusion, calibration, or estimation under uncertain operating conditions.

Responsibilities

• Develop models and control algorithms for relevant payload, pointing, stabilization, or subsystem functions.
• Translate performance requirements into control architectures, interfaces, and verification plans.
• Use simulation and test data to evaluate stability, robustness, and expected system performance.
• Support software, firmware, electronics, mechanical, and systems teams during integration and troubleshooting.
• Plan and execute model-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and system-level validation as appropriate.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Early-stage equity package
• 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage
• Opportunity to work on novel sensing, data, and AI systems with real-world deployment paths to the largest industries in the world
