Controls Engineer - Space Systems
Compensation:$140000-$170000 (base salary depending on experience)
Were partnered with a next-generation space technology company developing cutting-edge launch and satellite propulsion systems. This team is shaping the future of automated testing and production for space hardware and is looking for a Controls Engineer to join their growing organization.
This role will design and implement control systems that power automated test and production equipment-scripting control sequences developing real-time software and integrating complex electromechanical systems. Youll collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver robust safety-compliant solutions that keep operations efficient and scalable.
This opportunity is ideal for someone whos hands-on detail-oriented and thrives at the intersection of software hardware and automation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design implement and maintain control systems for factory and test infrastructure including sensors actuators and safety interlocks.
- Develop Python-based control software for real-time loops data acquisition and hardware communication (Modbus CAN TCP/IP).
- Support system bring-up debugging and refinement in lab and production environments.
- Collaborate with mechanical electrical and test engineers to align on requirements and integration.
- Create clear documentation operator manuals and test procedures for scalability.
- Ensure all systems meet industrial safety and reliability standards.
Minimum Qualifications
- 3 years of experience designing and deploying real-world control systems in test or production environments.
- Proficiency in Python for automation and control.
- Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Modbus CAN EtherCAT RS-485).
- Experience with PLCs industrial PCs or embedded control systems.
- Comfortable working around high-voltage high-pressure or high-speed equipment.
- Strong documentation and troubleshooting skills.
- Bachelors degree in Electrical Mechanical Mechatronics or Controls Engineering (or equivalent experience).
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in aerospace automotive or advanced manufacturing.
- Background with NI hardware/software SCADA systems or real-time data logging.
- Knowledge of industrial safety system design (OSHA NFPA 79 ISO 13849).
- Familiarity with Linux-based workflows and version control systems (Git).
Additional Details
Applicants do not need to meet every listed qualification to apply. Must be a U.S. Person or eligible under applicable export control regulations.
