What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer - Controls MI position at zobility?
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 :
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.
