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 frequency 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
