This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this Superintelligent Vision.\nOur team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.\nAbout the Role\nMatter is hiring a Control Systems Engineer to develop and validate the control approaches that enable stable, accurate performance of our sensing systems. The role will connect modeling and simulation with hardware integration, test, and real-world system behavior.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop models and control algorithms for relevant payload, pointing, stabilization, or subsystem functions.\n\nTranslate performance requirements into control architectures, interfaces, and verification plans.\n\nUse simulation and test data to evaluate stability, robustness, and expected system performance.\n\nSupport software, firmware, electronics, mechanical, and systems teams during integration and troubleshooting.\n\nPlan and execute model-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and system-level validation as appropriate.\n\nQualifications\nRequired\nStrong foundation in dynamics, feedback control, estimation, and system modeling.\n\nExperience developing, simulating, and validating controls for a physical system.\n\nAbility to work across analytical models, software implementation, hardware interfaces, and test data.\n\nClear technical communication and disciplined documentation of assumptions and performance results.\n\nPreferred\nExperience with aerospace, robotics, precision pointing, optical systems, or other tightly controlled hardware.\n\nExperience with real-time systems and hardware-in-the-loop testing.\n\nFamiliarity with sensor fusion, calibration, or estimation under uncertain operating conditions.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nControl performance is modeled, tested, and understood against clear system requirements.\n\nAlgorithms transition cleanly from simulation into integrated hardware and software.\n\nThe team can diagnose performance limits and make informed design tradeoffs using validated evidence.\n\nLocation\nThis role is based in El Segundo, CA, and requires onsite work.\nITAR Requirements\nTo comply with U.S. export regulations, applicants must be one of the following:\nA U.S. citizen or national\n\nA lawful permanent resident (green card holder)\n\nEligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State\n\nEmployee Offerings and Benefits\nAt Matter, we believe in rewarding high performance and providing the support you need to thrive. Our compensation and benefits package includes:\nCompetitive compensation based on experience\n\nEarly-stage equity package\n\n100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage\n\nOpportunity to work on novel sensing, data, and AI systems with real-world deployment paths to the largest industries in the world\n\nMatter Intelligence is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds who can raise the ambition and performance of the team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3387,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T15:11:07Z"}],"liveness":{"score":61,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.612,"p_room":1,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":96,"reasons":["conf:11","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/matter-intelligence-control-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/matter-intelligence-control-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-02T03:01:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4109,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":891,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-03T00:00:00Z"}}}
