Contract Duration: 12 month contract - likely to be extended
The successful applicant for this position will join the European Controls & Software team, which is responsible for engine controls and software development for small and medium diesel, hybrid and electric powertrain programmes. The successful applicant will be involved in the design and development of controls and software for advanced diesel engine controls and/or hybrid systems controls.
Key Responsibilities of the Control Systems Development Engineer
* Work with process partner teams to gather and develop requirements for the advanced diesel engines and hybrid power systems being developed for future, more sustainable, low carbon power systems.
* Create control algorithms/software models using Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow to meet diesel engine and/or hybrid power system software requirements.
* Conduct control system tuning/calibration activities on test bench and/or on test bed/machine to achieve desired system performance.
* Conduct sub-system FMEAs, documenting potential failure modes, identifying and completing design and validation actions and managing subsequent updates.
* Plan and execute verification and validation testing for electronics/control system software in SiL, HiL or on-test bed or development machines.
* Troubleshoot and resolve electronics/control system issues encountered during engine or power system running.
Qualifications, Skills, Experience required of the Control Systems Development Engineer
* Strong technical background (good technical degree preferred in mechanical, electronic, electrical, control systems or automotive engineering) though other qualifications/experience will be considered.
* Significant, demonstrable experience of using Mathworks tools (Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow) for model-based software design and development to create embedded software. This should have been gained in a diesel engine or hybrid power systems development environment.
* Ability to translate and develop customer requirements and objectives into production-ready software models.
* Knowledge of software FMEA and validation plan creation.
