is responsible for new feature development, and enhancements to existing algorithms. The Powertrain Controls Engineer - Senior will work closely with a cross functional team, utilizing various tools (vehicle, HIL, Dyno, Virtual, rapid prototyping) through the V-model development process to ensure quality and robustness of the production algorithms.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Interface with systems and calibration to fully understand the requirements
Develop implementation strategies
Assess and document the impacts against regulatory requirement
Markup models to ensure the design meets functional/operational requirements
Validate the design during the production process
Ensure project is on track by developing plans, track progress, and present technical report to management and project chiefs
Participate in the decision making process on controls strategy design to achieve functional objectives
Will be involved in developing controls strategies related to strategic optimization of engine speed, gear, powertrain state, engine torque optimization, and tactical torque controls for drivability management, brake regeneration controls and hybrid shift execution strategies.
The ideal candidate should have a strong background in modeling of mechanical transmission systems and be familiar with using lever analogy principles for determining dynamic torque and speed relations used extensively across hybrid torque controls.
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering is required from an accredited University.
5-8 years of engineering work experience with a Bachelors degree / 3-5 years experience with a Masters Degree
Should be knowledgeable in
MATLAB/Simulink
.
Should be knowledgeable in Powertrain systems - specifically, computer based tools and process based development, and calibration refinement.
