Control Software Engineer

​ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Support the development and integration of Fuel Storage Management Control Systems, human-machine interfaces (HMI) and integration of Engine Control Units (ECUs) for hydrogen dual-fuel systems used in heavy-duty/industrial and marine applications.

• Create and maintain documentation necessary for control system definition and development. Produce detailed documentation for field support and maintenance of these control systems.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Chief Engineers, Principal Engineers and Electrical Engineers/Designers to ensure seamless integration of Hydrogen Controls into the overall hydrogen system architecture.

• Support the system design, process simulation, and implementation of control algorithms, communication protocols, and safety features to optimize the performance, efficiency, and safety of the hydrogen dual fuel systems.

• Understand the critical dependencies within the vehicle/machine/vessel and test cases, ensuring we cover integrated testing between components, systems and features.

• Identify the relevant Standards and Regulations for system safety and cybersecurity.

• Conduct thorough testing and validation of Hydrogen Controls, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal quality benchmarks.

• Troubleshoot and debug hardware and software issues in control systems, utilising diagnostic tools and methods to achieve reliable system performance.

• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and technical discussions to provide valuable input and contribute to the continuous improvement of the hydrogen system engineering process.

• Stay current with industry trends, advancements, and best practices related to hydrogen fuel systems, dual fuel technology, and industrial control system development.
