Job Description

Overview

ALTEN Technology USA is an engineering company helping clients bring groundbreaking ideas to life—from advancing space exploration and life-saving medical devices to building autonomous electric vehicles. With 3,000+ experts across North America, we partner with leading companies in aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, commercial vehicles, EVs, rail, and more. As part of the global ALTEN Group—57,000+ engineers in 30 countries—we deliver across the entire product development cycle, from consulting to full project outsourcing.

When you join ALTEN Technology USA, you'll collaborate on some of the world's toughest engineering challenges, supported by mentorship, career growth opportunities, and comprehensive benefits. We take pride in fostering a culture where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

Role Summary

As a Control System Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development, validation, and deployment of innovative system-level control algorithms for lightweight electric propulsion systems. You will be responsible for testing and troubleshooting control algorithms both in simulation and on hardware targets, ensuring that they perform efficiently in real-world applications.

Your contributions will span across various stages of the development process, including requirements engineering, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing. You will define system regression test cases and establish pass / fail criteria, working closely with a collaborative team of system, electrical, and software engineers to integrate and validate the control systems.

This role offers a unique opportunity to apply first principles thinking to solve complex control problems and to work on cutting-edge propulsion technologies. You will have the chance to develop robust, real-time solutions, and make significant contributions to Rivian's mission of creating innovative, efficient, and sustainable transportation systems.

Responsibilities

  • Model, design, develop, validate, and deploy innovative system-level control system algorithms for lightweight propulsion systems
  • Test, validate, and troubleshoot implemented control algorithms in simulation and on hardware targets
  • Contribute to requirements engineering, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and software-in-the-loop (SIL) workstreams
  • Define system regression test cases and establish pass / fail criteria
  • Collaborate closely in a team environment with system, electrical, and software engineers

Qualifications

  • MSc or PhD in Controls or Electrical Engineering with a specialization in controls. 5+ years of experience
  • Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics, electric powertrains, and fundamental control theory. Ability to apply first principles thinking to understand new systems and solve complex problems
  • Expertise in developing custom real-time solutions using MATLAB / Simulink / Stateflow
  • Proficiency with relevant engineering tools, such as Vector CANape (or similar calibration interfaces), ECU diagnostic tools, Git, etc.
  • Demonstrated experience navigating ambiguity to develop robust algorithms from scratch, including software architecture, implementation, integration, and testing
  • Strong engineering fundamentals in dynamical systems, control theory, and high-frequency / high-bandwidth applications, with experience in model predictive control
  • Comprehensive understanding of rotating machine dynamics, including friction, backlash, NVH, and corresponding control strategies
  • Strong knowledge of various input sensors, low-level / high-speed signal formats, and communication protocols such as CAN and EtherCAT
  • Familiarity with BLDC motor controls is a bonus
  • Knowledge of version control systems (e.g., Git) and continuous integration processes
  • Familiarity with developing code compatible with resource-constrained microcontrollers, as well as rapid prototyping platforms
  • Salary Range : $100,000-130,000

    The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate's combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience.
