About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the full model development lifecycle from requirements clarification and functional specification through implementation, review, validation, documentation, and release
Develop and maintain modular MATLAB and Simulink models for wind turbine sensors, actuators, and control logic, including pitch, yaw, braking, condition monitoring, and auxiliary systems
Translate supplier datasheets, interface definitions, and test data into model equations, parameters, operating limits, and acceptance criteria
Document modeling assumptions and gaps
Build models reflecting real system behavior, including delays, saturation, noise, drift, filtering, rate limits, hysteresis, diagnostics, and fault responses
Define and automate requirements-based verification and validation, including regression testing for normal operation, transients, limits, and fault conditions
Support closed-loop simulation and model-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, and hardware-in-the-loop activities
Investigate differences between simulated and measured behavior
Lead technical reviews, mentor engineers, and improve modeling standards, reusable libraries, and release practices
Collaborate across controls, systems, software, and test engineering

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
Significant experience in modeling and simulation engineering, including ownership of technical deliverables and technical leadership responsibilities
Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB and Simulink for structured model development, scripting, debugging, automation, and reusable component design
Proven experience building dynamic models of sensors and actuators and implementing control logic from requirements, specifications, datasheets, or experimental data
Strong understanding of control theory, feedback systems, continuous-time and discrete-time dynamics, numerical simulation, and model verification and validation
Preferred: Experience with wind turbine controls and operation, especially pitch, yaw, braking, drivetrain interfaces, operating states, and fault handling, safety chain
Preferred: Experience with Stateflow, Simulink Test, Simulink Coverage, Requirements Toolbox, System Identification Toolbox, or similar
Preferred: Experience with Python or C/C++, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms setup and maintenance, and requirements or lifecycle management tools such as IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) or DOORS Next
