About the job

Join our team at LAT Aerospace as a Powertrain Modeling & Controls Engineer!

Full-Time | Core Team

At LAT Aerospace, we are pioneering a revolutionary Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) aircraft aimed at enhancing regional air mobility in India. We are on the lookout for a talented Powertrain Modeling & Controls Engineer to lead the design, simulation, and validation of cutting-edge control strategies for our hybrid-electric propulsion system, encompassing everything from high-fidelity MATLAB/Simulink models to full hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation.

Your Responsibilities

  • Create advanced models for hybrid-electric powertrain components, including engines, generators, inverters, DC-DC converters, and batteries.

  • Devise and execute supervisory power management and control algorithms for hybrid-electric systems.

  • Adjust and personalize engine control settings and maps to meet aircraft-specific requirements.

  • Establish and sustain comprehensive Software-in-the-Loop Simulation (SILS) environments using MATLAB/Simulink.

  • Apply and verify control algorithms in real-time scenarios through Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) setups.

  • Collaborate closely with propulsion, avionics, and electronics teams to seamlessly integrate powertrain controls across various hardware modules.

  • Conduct fault detection, isolation, and mitigation (FDI/FMECA) employing robust control and system-level modeling techniques.

  • Maintain a modular and clean model architecture with comprehensive documentation to facilitate scalable development.

Qualifications

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in hybrid/electric powertrain modeling or control systems.

  • In-depth knowledge of control system design, including PID controllers, state-space modeling, observers, and stability analysis.

  • Experience in designing supervisory controllers for hybrid systems, including power splitting, engine start/stop, load following, and real-time energy management.

  • Familiarity with torque control, speed control, DC-bus control, and thermal control loops within hybrid powertrains.

  • Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink for system modeling and controller implementation.

  • Understanding of real-time constraints and scheduling for embedded controllers.
