Senior Controls System Engineer

You will be leading the design, development and validation of application software for commercial electric vehicle powertrains. Your tasks will include but not limited to understanding internal and customer request/requirements for functionality performance, diagnostics, safety, and design the specific system to meet these requirements. Decompose requirements from the ePowertrain system level to drive line control unit level requirements, develop controls based on requirements, implement, and integrate control logic into production controls software and support validation activities as required. Design and conduct test cases for assessment of controls in different environments such as Dyno, HIL, or in vehicle. Your workplace will be very dynamic and fast-paced.

• Participate in development and validation of electrified powertrain controls for commercial vehicle EV applications and different architectures.
• Provide technical analysis in a project team environment.
• Review system requirements and decompose requirements to software and design requirements.
• Work with V&V engineers to evaluate test case for performance/functionality of powertrain system in different environment such as Dyno, HIL, or vehicle.
• Support internal/external request to analyze data from driving events for performance, issues, etc.
• Responsible for delivering application software and system integration for complex automotive embedded controllers used in safety critical systems for electrified powertrains. With a focus on understanding complete powertrain architecture, interfaces, and transmission control.
• Mentor junior engineers in control theory, software processes, production code development.
