Job Description PCS Controls Engineer / £50K - £75K DOE / Oxford / Onsite We’re partnered with a leading energy-systems division to recruit a PCS Controls Engineer. This is a hands-on role focused on model-based design and embedded control algorithm development for grid-connected inverters used in energy storage applications. The role Design, simulate and deploy embedded control algorithms for grid-following and/or grid-forming inverters. Work across power-electronics controls, embedded software and grid-synchronisation/protection techniques in a fast-paced product development environment. Key responsibilities Develop control models for embedded targets: current/voltage regulation, PLL, active/reactive power, PQ and droop control Implement protection logic (overcurrent, over/undervoltage, anti-islanding) Model, simulate and validate in MATLAB/Simulink & Stateflow (Simscape familiarity desirable) Generate embedded C via Simulink Coder / Embedded Coder and deploy to microcontrollers (Infineon XMC, TI C2000, STM32, NXP) Support MIL, SIL and HIL validation (dSPACE, Typhoon HIL etc.) Ensure requirements → model → code traceability; collaborate with systems, hardware and firmware teams Maintain models/version control with Git Requirements MSc or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Control Systems or similar 5 years’ MATLAB/Simulink MBD experience and Simulink auto-code generation Strong knowledge of grid-following / grid-forming inverter control theory HIL experience and familiarity with CAN / Vector tooling (CANalyzer, CANape, CANoe) Solid control theory, signal processing and embedded systems background Excellent communication, problem solving and organisational skills Desirable Experience with grid-connection standards (IEEE 1547, EN 50549, VDE-AR-N 4110, G99) Simscape modelling, UDS diagnostics, ISO 26262/IEC 61508 exposure Scripting for test automation (Python/MATLAB), basic C/C++ or firmware experience If you're interested, then please apply!
