About The Position

JLG, an Oshkosh company, is seeking a Sr. Engineer - Autonomy & Active Safety to provide design, development, and integration support for software architecture, real-time control algorithms, artificial intelligence, motion planning, computer vision and sensor processing algorithms, graphical user interfaces, and inter-process messaging for active safety, advanced driver assistance systems, and unmanned ground vehicle control/embedded systems development. The role involves performing engineering calculations, investigations, software development, hardware selection, and supporting more senior engineers. This position is responsible for projects of limited complexity and may manage multiple projects. Collaboration with internal engineering and business support disciplines, as well as external suppliers, is expected. The role also includes providing guidance to entry-level engineers and utilizing model-based software tools like MATLAB, Simulink, and TargetLink. Embedded C and/or C++ software development for hardware configuration and control, as well as API creation, is a key responsibility. The engineer will support supervisors, suppliers, and other departments, ensuring quality-conscious design with consideration for cost and reliability. Participation in cost studies, project time estimation, and technical proposals is also part of the role, adhering to CMMI level 3 procedures. Risk assessment for vehicle operation and maintenance, feasibility studies, and proposal development support are also included. The engineer will write requirements and design documentation, and provide direct support to suppliers and test programs, including potential travel. System architecture development using MagicDraw and other software is also required. Regular attendance is mandatory.
