Job Summary

Are you passionate about shaping how nextgeneration control systems are designed and delivered? Join us to work at the forefront of engineering innovation-helping leading companies bring complex, highperformance systems to market faster and with greater confidence.

As a Senior Application Engineer, you will build trusted partnerships with industry leaders across control systems applications in aerospace, automotive, robotics, electronics, and semiconductors. You will guide customers in applying MATLAB and Simulink to design, verify, and deploy advanced control systems, while pioneering the use of Agentic AI to automate engineering tasks and elevate productivity.

You will provide technical leadership across control design, modelbased development, and embedded implementation-bringing deep insight into customer workflows, challenges, and aspirations. In this role, you will also lead the adoption of Agentic AI within ModelBased Design (MBD), helping customers reimagine how intelligent agents can accelerate control model development, verification, and system integration.

By translating technical challenges into strategic solutions, you will position MathWorks technologies to shorten development cycles, improve control system performance, and scale modern engineering workflows. You will establish yourself as a trusted advisor-shaping both technology direction and longterm customer success.

Join us in accelerating the pace of engineering innovation with MathWorks.
