Senior Research Engineer
About The Position
SC Solutions, Inc. (SC), an affiliate company of Structural Integrity Associates, Inc., is seeking to hire a Control Systems/Mechatronics engineer for our Portland, OR office. As a member of our Control Engineering team, you will be part of an experienced multidisciplinary group providing feedback control solutions to our customers in real-time, model-based control systems. You will contribute to analysis, simulation, design, and implementation of such high-performance control systems. Our primary application is in process equipment control in semiconductor and advanced materials fabrication, but we also serve other industries such as aerospace, energy, and transportation. We also perform cutting-edge federally funded research (e.g., in quantum control) where we have a strong record of collaboration with the academic research community and National Labs. A strong background in multivariable (MIMO) feedback/feedforward control system design and software development skills are required. Experience with using MATLAB and a working knowledge of Simulink is also required. A good understanding of optimization techniques and algorithms is preferred. A more detailed list of job responsibilities and qualifications is given below. SC provides a stimulating environment for professional growth through its involvement in a wide range of control and modeling applications. Aided by your enthusiasm and willingness to continually explore and learn new areas, your work at SC will help develop your analytical skills and independent engineering judgment, as well as being a team player as you navigate challenging control problems. You will have the opportunity to develop new lines of business by writing proposals and by developing industry contacts. We maintain a collegial and flexible work environment which has led to our excellent employee retention record.
