Gimbal Control Engineer

TEKEVER

Caldas da Rainha, Portugal

What will be your responsibilities:

• Design and implement advanced control algorithms for gimbal stabilization, motion control, and target tracking;
• Model electro-mechanical systems and simulate control strategies using tools like MATLAB/Simulink;
• Integrate and fuse data from multiple sensors (IMUs, encoders) to estimate system states;
• Implement advanced motor control techniques including Field Oriented Control (FOC);
• Tune control loops and validate system behaviour through lab and field testing;
• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and software teams to bring robust systems to production;

Profile and requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field;
• 3-5+ years of experience designing and implementing real-time control systems;
• Solid understanding of classical and modern control theory (PID, state-space, observers, filters);
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for system modeling, simulation, and controller design;
• Experience with Field-Oriented Control (FOC);
• Familiarity with sensors and actuators: IMUs, encoders, torque/current sensors;
• Hands-on experience with tuning control systems for real-world applications.

Preferred/Nice to have:

• Experience with sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman filters, complementary filters);
• Embedded systems development experience using C/C++ in RTOS or bare-metal environments;
• Exposure to CAN, SPI, I2C, UART or similar communication protocols in embedded systems;
• Knowledge of software best practices: version control (Git), documentation, testing.
