Control Systems Engineer (Agricultural Machinery)

Responsibilities:

• Control & Autonomy: Develop and tune real‑time control algorithms for drive systems, electro‑hydraulics, safety logic, and advanced features such as path planning, collision avoidance, and autonomous harvesting.
• Embedded Integration: Design and integrate controls with embedded ECUs, sensors, actuators, and machine hardware; implement redundancy and safety mechanisms.
• Validation & Simulation: Build and maintain plant models; perform MIL/SIL (and bench/field) testing; analyze results and iterate to meet performance and safety targets.
• Communication & Connectivity: Configure and validate CAN bus communication (J1939; ISOBUS/ISO11783 preferred); support telemetry/connectivity integrations.
• Requirements & Quality: Capture and manage requirements (e.g., Codebeamer/Polarion), support DFMEA and compliance with global standards and architectural guidelines.
• Process & Reuse: Apply modular design; create reusable software blocks and contribute to shared libraries; identify bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement in model‑based workflows.
• Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with mechanical, electrical, automation, and software teams, as well as global suppliers/partners; communicate progress, risks, and decisions with stakeholders.
• Documentation & Enablement: Maintain technical documentation, contribute to knowledge sharing, and (as applicable) support training for engineers, service teams, and other stakeholders.
• Safety & Commissioning: Follow safety policies and best practices during development, testing, and machine commissioning.

Requirements:

• Education: Bachelor’s in Mechatronics, Electrical, Control/Automation, Software/Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related fields; Master’s is a plus.
• Core Experience: Real‑time embedded development and/or industrial/off‑highway automation; model‑based design (MATLAB/Simulink) and Embedded C/C++; Git or similar VCS.
• Protocols & Tools: CAN bus, J1939 (ISOBUS/ISO11783 preferred); Vector CANoe/CANalyzer or equivalent; requirements/toolchain familiarity (Codebeamer/Polarion; Office tools).
• Domain Exposure: Agricultural machinery, off‑highway, automotive, or mechatronic systems (desejável).
• Language: English fluency.

Nice to have:

• ROS or similar middleware; ladder logic for specific PLC/controls contexts.
• Telemetry/telematics and connectivity systems.
• Experience with global, standardized toolchains and shared architectures.

Interpersonal Skills:

• Clear, proactive communication with technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Strong teamwork in global, cross‑functional setups; sense of ownership and accountability.
• Analytical problem‑solving; ability to negotiate trade‑offs with internal teams and suppliers.
• Continuous improvement mindset; commitment to safety, quality, and process adherence.
