As a Lead Control Engineer, you are skillful in supervising the required mechatronics and control related aspects within the project, making realistic schedules and cost estimations, attributing the right responsibilities to the right people. With your background and expertise, you are able to pick also tasks if needed, especially when related with control and mechatronics. As the Lead, your focus will be in monitoring the team’s progress and making available the necessary tools and resources. Besides, you manage to translate the results into practical solutions.

Being familiar with the Control Engineering terminology and knowing the basics of linear control theory and controller synthesis, both in the classical and mathematical sense, is important. You are aware of the significance of Feedback Control and Frequency-Domain Analysis, both when it comes to design and experimental phases, and have the capacity to interpret Bode diagrams, Nyquist plots, and Spectral Density plots, relating these to the mechanical properties of the system or disturbance sources.

You know how the relevance of Dynamic Modelling, both Lumped-Mass and Finite-Element, when designing complex mechatronic system from scratch, being capable of communicating with the experts in the field when needed. 

Finally, you understand the importance of data in the System Identification, Controller Design, and Performance Evaluation, within the challenging experimental project phases.
