Founding Control Systems Engineer
About the Company
Our clients long-term mission is to make clean energy abundant, from Earth to outer space. They are fueled by the belief that energy abundance and military strength are the keys to unlocking growth in the American standard of living. That’s why they are building transportable microreactors for the modern warfighter. They can solve the energy constraints of contested logistics by developing inherently safe, rapidly deployable nuclear microreactors that can be operated terrestrially or in space, thus untethering military capabilities from fossil fuel supply chains.
The founding team hails from SpaceX, the White House, MIT, Rigetti Computing, and the Air Force.
About the Role
As the founding member of the Controls Engineering team, you will be the expert on control systems. You will work on designing and building the systems that operate, regulate, and report the telemetry of our client's nuclear microreactor. You will help develop and document their system architecture, requirements, control algorithms, and mechanisms. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of full-stack sensor and control projects and will have at least a light background in robotics.
Additionally, you will provide nuanced input into the system architecture trades and take a lead role in managing vendor relationships and their test program.
Roles and Responsibilities
Survey COTS and potentially perform low-level design of sensor solutions/suites for thermal control, actuation, and neutron-flux monitoring systems
This includes selection and simulation of analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters
Regularly distill reactor core performance needs, benchmarks, and measured capability into controls systems constraints and tasks
Design, analyze, and field test nuclear reaction-monitoring technologies
Perform routine system identification of reactor core subsystems and sensors
Design, implement and deploy time-domain simulations pertaining to controls systems sensors, relevant plant dynamics and low-level algorithm implementation
Discipline simulations with data and fits obtained from system identification
Design, prototype and implement Monte Carlo simulation software for reactor core dynamics
Design, prototype and implement controls software in embedded and application-layer environments
Verification and validation of all controls subsystems and applications
Assist in development of truth models pertaining to fission reaction cores
Establish telemetry standards and interfaces for all reactor core sensor and controls subsystems
Construct and maintain Interface Control Documents for internal and external systems interacting with the reactor core
Basic Requirements
5+ years experience working in an environment with hardware-software co-design including the following:
Handling, recording, and analysis of digital and analog telemetry from sensor and controls subsystems
Experience with ethernet, CAN, serial and 4-20 mA telemetry variants
Experience with logic analyzers, data acquisition modules, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers
Experience debugging impedance matching issues in the context of controls systems
Experience debugging and modeling EMI and radiation issues in the context of controls systems
Experience developing linear servo, field-oriented-control, and other similar actuation controls systems
Experience writing controls algorithms in an embedded C/C++ environment with strict timing requirements
Experience with ADC and DAC driver configuration in an embedded C/C++ environment
Constructing models of sensor and control system frontends in software and time-domain simulation environments
Ability to identify the feasibility of SISO, MISO, and MIMO control topologies for a given application
Expertise with MATLAB, Python, and C++, particularly prototyping in Python followed by conversion to application and embedded C++ environments
Desired Qualifications
Master's degree or 5+ years of professional experience in electrical or computer engineering
High level of experience separating, evaluating, and benchmarking (through simulation and field testing) cross-coupled dynamics between parallel control systems
High level of experience with linear transfer function analysis
High level of experience converting continuous time domain, frequency domain and discrete-time models between one another
High level of experience constructing and conducting system identification exercises for components of a control system and synthesizing high-fidelity models for Monte Carlo simulation purposes
Experience with Kalman filtering and sensor fusion
Experience with fault-tolerant architecture and design
Understanding of nonlinear dynamics and how to identify them in analysis space as well as in field data
Leadership experience on a project or research team
Demonstrated track record of high impact / ROI contributions
Additional Requirements
Based in, or ability to relocate to Los Angeles to work in person at their Redondo Beach office
Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
ITAR Requirements
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
