Dynamics & Control Specialist

Main responsibilities 

• You will process modal analyses to predict dynamic behavior.
• You will derive conceptual lumped-mass models of mechanical systems, will develop input-output models from lumped-mass models, and relate derived models to Finite-Element predictions.
• You will utilize dynamic models for error budgeting.
• You will conduct frequency response measurements and other system identification techniques.
• You will read and interpret Bode and Nyquist diagrams, both predicted and measured, and link details of them to actual physics and mechanics.
• You will apply the essentials of linear control theory and controller synthesis.
• You will synthesize reliable controller structures using loop-shaping techniques based on experimental data.
• You will assess the closed-loop behavior of the entire system.
• You will work hands-on in the lab with various sensors, actuators, and real-time control systems.

Requirements

• You hold a Master’s Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• You have at least one year of experience, either in the high-tech industry or in academia.
• You have experience validating dynamic performance.
• You have an understanding of f​requency response measurements and other system identification techniques, as well as experimental modal analyses.
• You are familiar with eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of mechanical structures.
• You know how to process modal analyses to predict dynamic behaviour.
• You can read and interpret Bode and Nyquist diagrams, both predicted and measured.
• You are familiar with control engineering technology.
• You know the essentials of linear control theory and controller synthesis, both in the classical and mathematical sense.
• You can analyze data in terms of frequency, create effective controller designs using loop-shaping methods based on experimental data alone, evaluate how the entire system behaves in response, and understand dynamic error budgeting techniques.
• You have experience working with many different type of sensors, actuators and real-time control system.
• You are a team player.
• You have good English communication skills
