About The Position

The OBD Gasoline Engine Controls Development Engineer develops new features and enhances existing algorithms. The role works with a cross-functional team and uses vehicle, HIL, dyno, virtual-environment, and rapid-prototyping tools through the V-model software development process to ensure production algorithms are robust and high quality.

The engineer interfaces with systems and calibration teams to understand requirements, develop implementation strategies, assess compliance and robustness, support ease of calibration, and document impacts against regulatory requirements. Responsibilities include implementing designs efficiently and validating them against requirements in virtual and physical environments throughout production. The role also develops plans, tracks progress, keeps projects on schedule, presents technical reports to management and project chiefs, and participates in control-strategy decisions to achieve functional objectives. Algorithm development may begin as an advanced effort but must ultimately meet program timelines and high-level functional requirements. The senior-level scope described includes providing technical guidance and training and serving as a subject-matter expert.
