What You'll Likely Work On

• Integrate and calibrate engine sensors (temperature, pressure, vibration, speed)
• Build clean signal chains with filtering, ADC paths, and isolation
• Implement fuel, ignition, start‑up logic and transient control loops
• Develop state‑machine behaviour for all engine phases
• Control fuel pumps, ignition hardware, and solenoid drivers
• Create safety interlocks, watchdogs, and redundancy mechanisms
• Write real‑time ECU/FADEC firmware for DSP/ARM (optional FPGA for safety logic)
• Support HIL/EIL test‑stand setups and coordinate with mechanical/combustion teams

Good Fit If You Have

• Strong FADEC or embedded engine‑control background
• Deep understanding of real‑time control and DSP concepts
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Control Systems, or related field
• Experience with FPGA programming is a plus
