About the role
You will build the real-time simulation models that drive the HIL bench — plasma source, power delivery, thermal and actuator models — in OPAL-RT and Simulink, working closely with the on-site lead in the US.
What you'll do
• Develop, parameterize and validate plant models in MATLAB/Simulink and port them to OPAL-RT targets (RT-LAB / HYPERSIM)
• Build I/O configurations, signal routing and fault-injection scenarios for the bench
• Tune model fidelity against reference data and document model assumptions and limits
• Support closed-loop integration runs with the US lead; analyze results and iterate models
• Produce model documentation, test evidence and weekly status inputs
What you bring
• 4–7 years in control systems, power electronics simulation or real-time modelling
• Hands-on OPAL-RT or equivalent (dSPACE, Speedgoat, Typhoon HIL) experience — mandatory
• Strong MATLAB/Simulink, Stateflow; C/C++ for S-functions
• Understanding of power converters, PWM control, PID/state-space control, and sensor/actuator modelling
• BE/ME in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation or Controls
Nice to have: FPGA-based I/O (eFPGASIM), Python scripting, experience with laser/plasma/RF system
