Researcher dynamic systems & control

You develop advanced controllers for smart and interconnected systems (machines, robots and vehicles).

Develop advanced model predictive, learning and robust adaptive control algorithms

• Set up research projects in advanced control technologies and
• Tackle challenges in multicontext adaptive control, robust control, learning control, control of systems of systems, interconnected systems,… ;
• For a wide scala of industrial applications (e.g. collaborative robot, autonomous vehicle, forklift, weaving machine, agricultural robot, 3D printer, suspension in a car, hybrid drivetrain…).

As an expert in dynamic systems & control, you

• Question the industry challenges;
• Set up a dynamic model of the plant system and propose a control strategy (system approach);
• Develop and implement the new controller (Matlab, Simulink, C++);
• Validate the results in cooperation with validation engineers;
• Work in a multidisciplinary team (sensing, actuation, validation…).

Experienced engineers will also coach young researchers and lead projects.

Profile

You have

• A Master or PhD in Control Engineering or another relevant domain (Mechanical, Electronical, Electrical, Automotive, Modelling & Simulation, Mechatronics, Robotics, …);
• Strong theoretical background in the field of modelling, simulation and control;
• Practical experience in at least two advanced control technologies on dynamical systems;
• Track record in research (in academy or industry) where you applied theoretical concepts on practical case problems.

You are

• An expert user of modeling software (Matlab, Simulink);
• A conceptual thinker inspired by research problems and technological innovation;
• A good listener and communicator who can build sustainable relationships;
• Pro-active and taking initiative;
• Enthusiastic about developing new project ideas.
