## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

We're looking for an experienced Power Controls Engineer to develop and implement advanced control algorithms for high-performance power electronic systems.

**Responsibilities**

- Design, simulate, and validate closed-loop control algorithms for switch-mode power converters and inverters using Simulink and/or PLECS.

- Develop plant models and controller architectures for multi-kW power stages utilizing discrete SiC and GaN FETs.

- Perform stability analysis, loop shaping, and compensator design to meet transient response, efficiency, and EMI targets.

- Collaborate with power hardware engineers on gate drive tuning, dead-time optimization, and switching-loss characterization of wide-bandgap devices.

- Support model-based code generation workflows and work with firmware engineers to translate control designs into embedded implementations.

- Define and execute hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) test plans to validate control performance against system requirements.

- Contribute to trade studies on converter topology, modulation strategy, and control bandwidth as they relate to size, weight, power, and thermal constraints.

**Required Qualifications**

- BS in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related discipline.

- 5+ years of experience designing and tuning digital control loops for power electronic converters.

- Proficiency in Simulink and/or PLECS for control system modeling, simulation, and analysis.

- Strong foundation in control theory.

- Hands-on experience with discrete SiC and/or GaN FET-based power stages in the multi-kW range.

- Familiarity with military or aerospace environments and standards.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- MS/PhD with a focus in power electronics controls or control systems.

- Experience writing embedded firmware for microcontrollers or DSPs.

- Familiarity with auto-code generation from Simulink.

- Experience with real-time HIL platforms.

- Knowledge of advanced modulation techniques.

- Design-for-Reliability practices.

- Experience with EMI mitigation strategies.

**Benefits** Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package.
