Contract Firmware Engineer — PID Control Systems
The Role
We’re looking for a contract firmware engineer with strong expertise in PID control loop design and tuning to help refine and extend our cruise control firmware. This is hands-on control systems work, not just embedded plumbing — you’ll be shaping how the system responds to throttle, grade changes, and rider input.
What You’ll Work On
- Tuning and validating PID control loops for closed-loop speed control, including gain scheduling across operating conditions
- Implementing and refining anti-windup strategies and alternative control structures (e.g., P-on-measurement vs. P-on-error)
- Analyzing control loop performance using real ride data and bench/HIL test setups
- Collaborating on CAN bus integration for reading vehicle speed, throttle position, and other relevant signals from the motorcycle’s data bus
- Working within an existing embedded C firmware codebase, with attention to real-time constraints and safety margins
- Documenting tuning methodology and control parameters for future maintainability
What We’re Looking For
- Demonstrated experience designing and tuning PID (or more advanced) control loops in an embedded context — automotive, robotics, motor control, or similar
- Strong C/embedded firmware skills, specifically with STM32 IC
- Comfort working with CAN bus protocols and real-world sensor/actuator systems
- Experience with control systems analysis tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Python control libraries, or similar) is a plus
- Automotive or powersports background is a plus but not required — what matters most is control theory depth and the ability to tune for real-world robustness, not just simulation performance
- Ability to work independently and communicate clearly in an async, remote-first environment
Engagement Details
- Type: Contract (scope and duration negotiable based on fit and availability)
- Rate: Negotiable, based on experience
- Location: Remote
- Start: Flexible
