SC Needed or Eligible to Obtain
Key Responsibilities
• Develop and model servo control systems, including PID tuning and motion behaviour analysis
• Implement and manipulate control algorithms at embedded level using C++
• Configure and optimise servo drives (gains, limits, profiles, safety parameters)
• Support commissioning, testing and troubleshooting of motion systems on hardware
• Analyse and improve existing control systems and performance characteristics
• Integrate servo systems with mechanical assemblies, sensors and embedded controllers
• Diagnose issues such as instability, resonance, friction and system coupling
• Support delivery of functional systems within programme timelines

Required Experience
• Strong background in servo control / motion control systems
• Experience applying control theory (PID, feedback systems) in real-world environments
• Proficiency in C++ or embedded software development
• Hands-on experience with servo drives, motors, encoders or resolvers
• Experience with commissioning, tuning and testing physical systems
• Ability to work at both modelling and implementation level
• Comfortable working onsite with hardware and test equipment
Additional Requirements
• Eligible for SC Clearance (UK National required)
• Willingness to work predominantly onsite due to system access
• Ability to deliver in a time-critical programme environment
