About The Position

HL Mando America Corporation is seeking a Controls Engineer in Auburn, MI. This role involves modeling system and sub-system dynamics, creating robust control designs, and developing algorithms. The engineer will make high-level trade-offs to optimize system architecture, translate vehicle-level requirements into system requirements, and allocate subsystems and components accordingly. Responsibilities include improving and rectifying issues with vehicle control systems, developing next-generation vehicle control systems, and creating algorithms for safe operation and protection of drive systems. The role also involves developing diagnostics and protection mechanisms, defining requirements for system components like position and current sensors, and developing new control algorithms as needed. Performing stability analysis for various vehicle operating modes and collaborating with customers to ensure stable and safe system operations are key aspects. The engineer will also help identify solutions to encountered problems, work with MDK for integrating system-level algorithms, and report to a Senior Engineer.
