Under the general direction of the Calibration & Combustion Engineering Manager, the Staff Engineer - Electrical & Controls has responsibility for the design, development, and implementation of electrical components, systems, and software to operate associated hardware for engines and engine control systems for Rehlko engine platforms.



Specific Responsibilities:

• Identifies, qualifies, and supports design & development of engine electrical components such as sensors, actuators, wiring, controllers, charging systems, ignition systems, governing systems, and fuel injection systems.
• Identifies, develops, calibrates, and implements control hardware and software for engine fuel injection and electronic control systems via model-based software platforms and tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and C++ coding.
• Develops and executes test specifications including software verification plans, test procedures and test environments.
• Creates technical specifications and requirements for electronic components.
• Identifies potential risks or roadblocks; seeks guidance from responsible individuals or organizations.
• Performs development and testing of engine electrical components and systems, including diagnostic methods and tools.
• Hardware and software strategy development and release from requirements to validation.
• Identify and specify appropriate tools to test and implement designs.
• Work closely with electronic controller suppliers to implement software into final product.
• Develop, code, analyze, review, debug and implement software for applications.
• Develop and implement custom features using MATLAB/Simulink software or program code.
• Development and implementation of Hardware in Loop (HIL) systems.
• Provide system updates for performance tuning, improvement, balancing and usability.
• Understand and support software modeling and simulation to develop concepts.
• Integrate software with existing systems including testing and quality assurance.
• Support, maintain, and document software & hardware functionality.
• Perform functional testing along with troubleshooting capabilities.
• Contribute to lessons learned methodology and continuous process improvement.
• Makes appropriate technical decisions using support tools and critical thinking including risk/reward ratios and critical pathing, with a focus on business needs.
• Delivery of project work to time, cost, performance, and quality

Requirements:

• Master/Bachelor of Science in Computer Science/ Electrical Engineering/Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis on embedded system development and implementation.
• Minimum 6 years of experience in automotive, powertrain, or other commercial vehicle application development, management and implementation.
• ASCET/INCA, MotoHawk/Mototune (or similar platform) experience.
• Two or more years MatLab/Simulink/Stateflow experience (Modeling, simulating, and analysis). TargetLink experience a plus.
• Skills with electronic test equipment (oscilloscope, meters).
• Adherence to a defined software development process.
• Knowledge of fundamental programming concepts and methodologies as a basis for applying specific frameworks to develop and maintain software.
• Ability to read and interpret product specifications and electrical component specifications.
• Use of software tools such as compilers and emulators.
• Background in engine controls and the operation and implementation of electronic drivers, sensors and components.
• Software-in-loop/Model-in-loop validation.
• Understanding of J1939 or similar CAN BUS communication and diagnostic standards.
• Background in verification and validation such as RTRT, Tessy, Python, CAPL, or similar is a plus.
