You’ve discovered something special. A company that cares. Cares about leading the way in construction, engineering, manufacturing and renewable energy. Cares about redefining how energy is designed, applied and consumed. Cares about thoughtfully growing to meet market demands. And ─ as “one of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America” ─ is focused on the mind/body/soul of team members through our Culture of Care . As a Controls Modeling & Simulation Engineer in the R&D group, you will be responsible for developing control systems in a physics-based modeling and simulation environment for electrical, thermal, and mechanical systems used in distributed energy resources and power distribution. Collaborating with subject matter experts, product strategy teams, and systems engineers, you will create accurate and efficient control systems, optimization, and analytics algorithms to support technologies and products development within the Product Engineering organization. Through your expertise, you will play a key role in driving innovation and performance improvements in distributed energy and power distribution systems.

  • Develop and lead control system design, implementation, and validation for new technology and product development
  • Develop proof-of-concept controls algorithms to support architecture trade studies and provide functional recommendations to software teams
  • Collaborate with component and domain subject matter experts to translate functional requirements into controls, optimization, and diagnostics algorithms
  • Develop and/or integrate physics-based modeling and simulation environment for a variety of electrical, thermal, and mechanical systems for distributed energy resources and power distribution
  • Use simulation platforms to optimize and validate controls software design and overall system performance
  • Conduct control system architecture trade studies and optimization to ensure maximized performance
  • Utilize DOE, optimization methods, and data driven modeling and analysis tools
  • Own, document, and communicate interface definitions and performance requirements for controls hardware and communication networks
