We are seeking a highly motivated Control Systems & Algorithms Intern to join our team. We focus on developing real-time optimization and control algorithms for low-compute hardware that drive the next generation of smart household appliances.
Compensation
The hourly salary range for this position is displayed below. Hourly Pay Range $30—$40 USD
Responsibilities
- Design and implement real-time control algorithms for appliance subsystems (thermal, fluidic, and electromechanical)
- Work directly with pumps, heaters, boilers, AC/DC, and stepper motors, and their drivers
- Interface with low-cost sensors (temperature, flow, pressure, torque, etc.) and implement signal processing, filtering, and estimation techniques (e.g., Kalman filters)
- Apply classical control methods (frequency response analysis, PID design, and tuning) to achieve stability and robustness in systems with significant delays and nonlinearities
- Rapidly build and iterate prototypes and test rigs to validate algorithms in real hardware environments
Requirements
- Bachelor’s program (third year or beyond)
- Master’s program
- Doctorate program
- Nice to have: MATLAB/Simulink for system modeling
- Nice to have: State-space control
