About The Position

The Principal Engineer-Autonomy & Active Safety will provide lead engineering support efforts for active safety, advanced driver assistance systems and unmanned ground vehicles system and subsystem design projects involving broad design assignments of considerable scope and complexity. This role is responsible for completion of a project or part of a project of moderate complexity on time, and may be responsible for the overall project schedule and budget, as well as managing multiple priorities. The engineer will perform complex software development, architecture design, engineering calculations, investigations, and tasks according to Oshkosh and general industry engineering standards and processes. They will be responsible for the preparation and delivery of plans, designs, computation methods, and/or reporting. Collaboration with other engineering or business support disciplines internally, as well as suppliers externally, is expected. There may be exposure to external customers and/or industry organizations. The role also involves providing guidance or mentorship to entry-level engineers working on common projects and researching, creating, and updating standard engineering methodology and procedures, including best practices. The engineer will utilize model-based software tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, TargetLink, etc., and write embedded C and/or C++ software to configure and control hardware and provide APIs for application code. These tools will be used for the development of active safety, advanced driver assistance systems, and unmanned ground vehicle technologies for Oshkosh products. Responsibilities include advanced vehicle system controls research, development, verification and validation, testing, and production implementation. Establishing requirements (resources, equipment, estimates, test plans, and milestones) according to project needs is also key. Developing control strategies in a virtual simulation environment using modeling tools (such as ADAMS, MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, EASY 5 etc.) or hardware-in-the-loop simulators and transferring simulated strategies to vehicle testing and eventual production implementation is required. The role involves working with internal and external project teams on advanced control development efforts, assisting with feasibility studies and project estimates, and supporting proposal development for acquiring appropriate funding. Providing support and insight to engineering design teams based on expertise is also part of the role. Regular attendance is required.
