Controls Software Development Engineer
About The Position
We are seeking a Controls / Software Development Engineer to support the development and productionization of Drive-by-Wire control systems. Candidate will be responsible for developing control algorithms and embedded software, building Simulink models, and supporting code generation and integration on embedded controllers. This role focuses on hands-on implementation of real-time control for steering, braking, and propulsion systems. This role supports a production program to deploy a Drive-by-Wire (DbW) solution on embedded vehicle controllers for a high-reliability vehicle application. The system is developed using a model-based design approach (MATLAB/Simulink) with auto-generated code deployed to production ECUs.
Requirements
- U.S. Citizenship or Green Card is required
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 4–8 years of experience in Automotive embedded control systems or software development
- Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB / Simulink, Model-based development and code generation
- Strong foundation in Control systems and basic vehicle dynamics
- Experience with Embedded C / C++
- Experience with Real-time ECU development
- Experience with CAN / LIN communication
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, or actuator control systems
- Experience with Embedded Coder or AUTOSAR-based workflows
- Experience with HIL tools (dSPACE, NI, etc.)
- Familiarity with calibration and diagnostics tools (INCA, CANape)
- Exposure to Functional safety concepts (ISO 26262)
- Experience with Defense, off-highway, or heavy-duty vehicle platforms
Responsibilities
- Develop control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink (model-based design)
- Build and maintain Simulink models for Drive-by-Wire functions
- Generate and integrate embedded C code into production ECUs
- Implement and tune closed-loop control strategies (PID, feedforward, etc.)
- Support definition and integration of interfaces across, sensors, ECUs, and actuators
- Ensure real-time performance, stability, and robustness of control software
- Support MIL / SIL / PIL / HIL validation activities and vehicle testing
- Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve control and embedded software issues
- Collaborate with hardware, systems, and validation teams for integration and testing
