Principal Engineer - Autonomy

Oshkosh Corporation•Frederick, MD

About The Position

About JLG, an Oshkosh company JLG began in 1969, when our founder, John L. Grove set out to resolve growing safety concerns in the construction industry. Since then we have been committed to understanding the challenges and delivering innovative solutions to the access market. We partner with customers to provide quality equipment, training opportunities and trusted support within the access industry. We are a global company, and our products—including mobile elevating work platforms, telehandlers, utility vehicles and accessories—can be found all over the world. 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. YOUR IMPACT: Responsible for completion of a project or part of a project of moderate complexity on time. May be responsible for overall project schedule and budget. May be responsible for managing multiple priorities. Performs more complex software development, architecture design, engineering calculations, investigations, and tasks as assigned according to Oshkosh as well as general industry engineering standards and processes. Responsible for preparation and delivery of plans, designs, computation methods, and/or reporting. Collaborate as needed with other engineering or business support disciplines internally as well as suppliers externally. May have exposure to the external customers and/or industry organizations. Provide guidance or mentorship to entry level engineers working on common projects. Research, create, and update standard engineering methodology and procedures - best practices, etc. Utilize model-based software tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, TargetLink, etc.; write embedded C and/or C++ software to configure and control hardware and provide API’s for application code. Utilization of these design tools will be for the development of active safety, advanced driver assistance systems and unmanned ground vehicle technologies for Oshkosh products. Responsible for advanced vehicle system controls research, development, verification and validation, testing and production implementation. Establish requirements (resources, equipment, estimates, test plans, and milestones) according to the needs of a project. Responsible for 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. Work with internal and external (industry consortiums, universities...) project teams on advanced control development efforts. Assist feasibility studies and project estimates (man power, budget development, timelines...) on proposed projects. Support proposal development with regards to acquiring appropriate funding for various advanced control development efforts. Provide support and insight to engineering design teams as needed based on expertise. Other duties as assigned. Regular attendance is required.
