Control Systems Engineer - Motor Controls
Our client, a developer of advanced vehicle technologies, is looking for Control Systems Engineer to join their team. In this position you'll be responsible for developing controls algorithms for all products such as electric Steering, braking, propulsion systems. The individual will have to the system level requirements and create appropriate models for simulating the performance, leading to algorithm implementation and validation.
This is a growing team that offers multiple paths for future growth. They'll be bringing a lot of new technology to market in the coming years, and they offer not only an opportunity to learn and grow, but also the ability to be a key voice in how they're developed.
Responsibilities of Control Systems Engineer
- Model systems and sub-system dynamics and create robust controls designs
- Design and develop algorithms
- Make high level trade-offs to optimize system architecture
- Translate vehicle level requirement, objective and subjective, into system requirements
- Generate subsystem and component allocations to meet system level requirements
- Improve and rectify issues with the vehicle control systems
- Develop next generation vehicle control systems
- Develop Algorithms for safe operation and protection of drive system (OHP, OLP etc)
- Develop diagnostics and protection mechanisms
- Develop requirements for system components (Position sensor, current sensor etc)
- Production Support
- Develop new control algorithms as needed
- Perform stability analysis to ensure various operating modes of the vehicle
- Work with customers to ensure stable and safe system operation
- Help in identifying solutions to the problems encountered
- Pursuits / Production
- Support new programs control needs
- Work with MDK for integrating the System level Algorithms
- Work under the direction of a Senior Engineer
Qualifications of Control Systems Engineer
