Senior Control Software Engineer

About the role

EDGE’s POWERTECH centre of excellence is seeking a Senior Control Software Engineer to design and develop control systems for jet engines used in aerospace, defence and autonomous platforms.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse jet engine system requirements and define control system specifications.
• Develop control laws and algorithms for fuel metering, speed/thrust governing and limit protection.
• Create system, plant and controller models in Simulink/MATLAB and run simulations.
• Design and integrate control logic for start‑up, shutdown and various operating modes.
• Perform validation and verification, including MIL, SIL, HIL and engine tests.
• Generate and review auto‑generated code, commission designs on hardware and prepare technical reports.
• Maintain traceability between system, control and software requirements and ensure compliance with aviation certification processes.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Control, Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical/Electronics or Software Engineering.
• At least 5 years of experience on jet‑engine control system projects.
• Proficiency in Simulink/MATLAB modelling and model‑based design workflows.
• Strong knowledge of control theory (PID, state‑space, frequency‑domain) and jet‑engine dynamics.
• Familiarity with requirements engineering, documentation and aviation certification standards.

Required skills

• Simulink and MATLAB
• Control theory (PID, state‑space, frequency‑domain analysis)
• Jet engine dynamics and operating principles
• Model‑based design (MBD) and auto‑code generation (Embedded Coder)
• MISRA compliance
• MIL/SIL/HIL testing environments
• Sensors and actuators for jet engine control
• Aviation certification processes and documentation

What we offer

• Competitive, tax‑free salary and benefits such as family visas, annual flight tickets and medical insurance.
• Learning academy and digital platforms for continuous skill development.
• Opportunities to work on cutting‑edge defence and aerospace technologies with a multicultural team.
