  • Programming skills in LabVIEW.
  • Programming skills for developing firmware on TMS320F28XX DSP, PIC16XX, MC68XXX, or X86 DSPs/microcontrollers.
  • Knowledge and understanding of active rectifiers, power factor correction (PFC), inverter, and motor control software design.
  • Design knowledge of CAN, ARINC 429, I2C, SPI, and RS232 software modules.
  • Ability to use electrical circuit simulation tools such as PSPICE and system-level simulation tools such as PSIM, MATLAB, and Simulink.
  • Ability to communicate and work in a team environment.
Responsibilities
  • Analyze, design, develop, debug, and modify embedded control software for electronics applications, including controllers, PFC-based three-phase active rectifiers, motor control, DC-DC converters, and AC drives for harsh and hazardous environments.
  • Take ownership of or support technical engineering teams and projects related to W&W System Components, and interface with internal and external cross-functional groups to deliver airworthy designs that meet budget, schedule, and internal requirements.
  • Participate in and lead group- or company-level improvement activities.
  • Design and implement advanced control algorithms for power electronic applications.
  • Develop control system software requirements and write embedded code for three-phase active rectifier and motor control electronics.
  • Contribute to system design and independently develop subsystem designs that meet requirements, considering tradeoffs among requirements, cost, and reliability.
  • Test and debug power electronics controllers, including source- and assembly-level debugging.
  • Optimize software performance in collaboration with control system engineers.
  • Work with suppliers to review control software design.
  • Lead or support software design reviews and interface with vendors, customers, and other departments on technical issues.
  • Independently own small- or medium-sized software development efforts or lead a team for them.
  • Review, check, and approve work performed by peers and lower-level engineers.
  • Provide guidance and training to lower-level engineers.
  • Assess standard work and support or lead improvement projects.
  • Analyze customer requirements and validate them through analysis, modeling, prototyping, or existing product performance.
  • Create software requirements specifications and hardware/software interface control documents.
  • Create verification plans to validate product compliance with requirements.
  • Interface independently with technical analysts to define software design.
  • Interface independently with existing or new suppliers and original equipment manufacturers.
  • Create design tools to define product design, capture lessons learned, and improve the rotating equipment development process.
  • Create software design documents covering design analysis, notes, and specific guidelines followed.
  • Create design verification test procedures and reports.
  • Perform product performance testing and analysis to verify requirements and generate test reports.
  • Find or create solutions to problems requiring research, resourcefulness, and creativity.
  • Support feasibility, development, validation, verification, and qualification testing at Monogram and external test laboratories.
  • Use technical problem-solving to support ongoing projects.
  • Apply engineering principles to ensure designs meet airworthiness standards, customer requirements, and ZWWS internal standards.
  • Critically review and present findings and trade studies.
  • Provide input to program and project managers.
  • Perform RTCA/DO-178-based process tasks and generate PSAC, SDP, SVP, SCMP, SQAP, SCI, and SAS documents.
  • Understand, follow, and promote ZWWS policies and procedures.
  • Process engineering changes in the development of water and waste systems and equipment.
  • Document findings and trade studies.
