• Design, develop, implement, test, debug, troubleshoot, optimize and maintain embedded control software for powertrain and drivetrain control ECUs from low-level base software (HAL, complex device drivers) all the way up to the application layer, under various software architecturescovering all Software Development Life cycle (SDLC) activities of embedded software.
  
• Support model based development, auto code generation and integration of power electronics and electric machine application control software using Matlab/Simulink tool chain to meet control system requirements.
  
• Software integration, releases and maintenance using software configuration management and version control tools (GIT, etc.).
  
• Interface and coordinates with system engineering team and power electronics & control design teams to ensure control software requirements are decomposed appropriately and thoroughly analyzed prior to software design, development, and implementation
  
• Develop requirements, interfaces, and supervisory control algorithms for torque path, thermal, high voltage controls, functional safety, and other functions
  
  The ideal candidate will be knowledgeable in the following areas:
  
  
  • 
    
  • Electronics OR controls background
    
  • MATLAB Simulink development and Simulink simulation
    
  • Knowledge of integration of base software and application software components. Ability to debug the software, identify, fix or report the issues using a debugger.
    
  • Knowledge and hands-on experience with ETAS and MDA
    
  • Experience with real-time operating systems for embedded software development.
    
  • Hybrid/electric torque path, thermal, or HV architectures
    
  • Knowledge of embedded control software development using the 'V' process for both design and verification/validation activities.
    
  • Good communicator written and verbal
    
  • Great collaborator
    
    
    What you'll get:
    
    
    •
