Controls System Engineer

GM•Milford, MI

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves working closely with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to understand functional requirements and implement appropriate control solutions. The engineer will define controls and diagnostics subsystem level requirements, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, government policies, and internal standards. Responsibilities include ensuring subsystem level test requirements and verification, optimizing controls design through modeling and simulation, and developing controls-oriented models. The position also involves defining calibration strategies, promoting model-based practices, supporting issue resolution, and creating tools and training materials. Mentoring new employees and adhering to safety precautions are also key aspects of the role. The position operates under a hybrid work policy, requiring 3 days in-office and 2 days remote, with the ability to report to a local office.

Responsibilities

Work closely with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to understand functional requirements and implement appropriate control solutions.
Define controls and diagnostics subsystem level requirements that ensure compliance to safety requirements, government regulations, and GM-internal policies.
Meet higher level physics based requirements and enable efficient implementation in an embedded controller.
Address lessons learned in controls and diagnostics design.
Ensure subsystem level test requirements and the verification of the controls and diagnostic design.
Optimize controls design through modeling, simulation, data collection, and analysis.
Develop controls-oriented models, selecting appropriate methods for control and/or diagnosis, considering system characteristics and constraints.
Define calibration strategies and promote model-based practices in algorithm strategies and calibrations.
Support resolution of vehicle, plant, or customer issues related to controls and calibration.
Create tools, libraries, and training material to enable capability growth and support learning of the team.
Mentor new employees to help increase capabilities and share knowledge.
Adhere to all safety precautions and requirements, treating safety as the top priority during all work activities.
Work with partners in multiple organizations to ensure features and systems are delivered with quality and timeliness.
