Is there a flowchart graphic for developing control systems?
For example, a graphic that tells you the steps if you want to develop a controller for a system, like first, find the dynamics of the system, put into state space if applicable, characterize the stability, choose controller type, test open/closed loop stability, add estimator, etc....
I am looking through job postings and for control jobs, I am not sure where I would even begin when they say " develops low level controller for X system". Grad school in controls was mostly about system dynamics and stability, and not much on controller design or the entire process.

Decide what you want to control. Find a way to measure it. Fiddle with the controller until the measured variable tracks the reference to the specs.
(Only half joking)
