Software Controls Engineer

Position Title: Software Controls Engineer

Location: Hybrid. Dearborn, MI

Position Description:

• Develop chassis (brakes, steering, suspension) control algorithms for advanced chassis systems to deliver vehicle attributes, including control architecture selection, algorithm simulation, implementation, and verification and validation via leveraging a combination of model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and vehicle test environment.


• Leverage, subsystem- and component-level CAE models to analyze dynamic systems and complex system interactions, and to support concept analysis and verification, parameter optimization, and controls/design verification and validation.


• Define and review physical system testing and characterization to validate CAE models and guide vehicle and control system design.


• Control algorithm implementation on embedded controllers.


• Support the quality process workstreams (P-diagrams, FMEAs, requirements development, functional safety - ISO26262).


• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation to support global engineering and quality processes, and to facilitate technology transfer: system models, use cases, requirements, design validation tests and methods


• Leverage connected vehicle technologies (wireless communication, location and route data, cloud-compute resources, AI/ML techniques, etc.) to improve customer experience with enhanced controls and prognostics

Skills Required:

• Knowledge of ISO26262 Automotive Functional Safety standard


• Experience with data analysis, scripting and modeling & simulation of dynamic systems using Python, Matlab, Simulink or Stateflow


• Experience with standard systems engineering tools including boundary diagrams, fault tree analyses, FMEAs, P-diagrams, etc.


• Familiarity with AUTOSAR standards and tools for automotive software development


• Demonstrated effective communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills in a team environment


• Demonstrated ability to manage and balance multiple tasks and timelines


• Proven ability to work well with others as part of a diverse global team


• Problem-solving skills with a passion for new technology development

Experience Required:

• Subject matter expertise in chassis (brakes, steering, suspension) system hardware and control


• 3 years experience in dynamic systems and embedded real-time controls development for automotive or similarly complex electromechanical systems, including C or C


• Understanding of automotive powertrain systems and controls (including hybrids), with fundamental knowledge of dynamics, hydraulics, electric machines, batteries and mechatronics

Education Required:

• Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or a related field with emphasis on control systems
