The role utilizes a Model-Based Design (MBD) workflow to develop control algorithms, system architectures, simulation models, automated test environments, and production-ready embedded software. This position works closely with systems engineering, software, electrical, hydraulic, mechanical design, and testing to deliver robust, validated, and maintainable control solutions throughout the mobile crane lifecycle.\nWhy This Role Matters:\nThis role will be instrumental in guiding the development of Manitowoc's next-generation control system architecture, intended to be shared across numerous crane models and platforms. This role is foundational to Manitowoc's transition toward Model-Based Design, enabling control algorithms to be developed, simulated, and validated at the model level before code is generated - reducing development cycles, catching defects earlier, and creating reusable control logic across crane product families.\nResponsibilities:\nDevelop dynamic system models and control algorithms using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.\nDesign supervisory control logic and state machines using Stateflow.\nPerform controller development for electrohydraulic embedded control systems.\nGenerate embedded production code using Embedded Coder.\nSupport embedded software integration, debugging, and release activities.\nDevelop, maintain, and enforce Model-Based Design standards, including naming conventions, model architecture, documentation, and best practices, to ensure consistent, reusable, and high-quality models across engineering teams.\nBuild reusable model architectures, libraries, and framework components.\nSupport requirements traceability by linking system requirements to model elements, test cases, and generated code.\nCollaborate closely with mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical engineers to translate theory of operation and system requirements into executable models\nMentor team members on Model-Based Design tools, workflows, and best practices\nFunctional Safety and Verification:\nApply functional safety principles in the design of embedded control systems in accordance with\napplicable standards (e.g., ISO 13849 / EN 13849).\n\nExecute requirements-based verification and validation activities.\nPerform Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the- Loop (SIL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.\nDevelop automated test cases and maintain traceability between requirements, models, tests, and generated code.\nAI-Enabled Development Expectations:\nPractical experience using AI-assisted tooling to improve productivity or code quality, with the\njudgment to validate, review, and responsibly integrate outputs into safety-critical embedded\nsoftware.\n\nAbility to define and promote effective, disciplined use of AI within development workflows.\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.\n5+ years of experience developing control systems using Model-Based Design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) or equivalent and relevant work experience.\nStrong understanding of control theory, system dynamics, signal processing, and simulation techniques.\nAbility to work effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nMaster’s degree in engineering or related technical discipline.\nProficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow for developing control algorithms and supervisory logic.\nExperience with CAN, J1939, Ethernet, diagnostics, and telematics systems.\nKnowledge of functional safety standards such as EN ISO 13849, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or DO-178C.\nExperience with HIL systems and real-time simulation platforms.\nExperience with plant modeling and simulation for virtual system validation, control algorithm development, and Model-Based Design workflows.\nExperience with Git-based version control for Simulink models, MATLAB Projects, and compare and merge Simulink models commands.\nExperience with Simscape, System Composer, Requirements Toolbox, Simulink Test, Simulink Coverage, Simulink Design Verifier, and Embedded Coder.\nWorking knowledge of C/C++ sufficient to review and understand generated code and interface with hand-coded modules.\nExperience with requirements management, systems engineering processes, and V-model development framework.\nBackground in off-highway, construction, agricultural, or other heavy-duty mobile equipment; ability to interpret electrical and hydraulic schematics and collaborate effectively across disciplines.\nTravel Required: International & Domestic 10%\nOther Duties:\nPlease note that this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job.
