Gasoline Engine Controls Development Engineer is responsible for developing new features and enhancing existing algorithms. This role involves working closely with a cross‑functional team and utilizing various tools (vehicle, HIL, dyno, virtual environments, rapid prototyping) through the V‑model software development process to ensure the quality and robustness of production algorithms.The controls engineer will interface with systems and calibration teams to fully understand requirements, develop implementation strategies, assess compliance and robustness, ensure ease of calibration, and document impacts against regulatory requirements. Responsibilities include implementing designs efficiently and validating them against requirements in both virtual and physical environments throughout the production process. The controls engineer is also expected to provide technical guidance, training, and act as an expert in their field of specialization.Controls algorithm development typically begins as an advanced effort but must ultimately meet program timelines and conform to high-level functional requirements.The successful candidate will ensure projects remain on track by developing plans, tracking progress, and presenting technical reports to management and project chiefs. They will also actively participate in decision‑making regarding control strategy design to achieve functional objectives.Basic QualificationsBachelor of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent engineering degree from an accredited university, with experience in controls / calibration of gasoline spark‑ignition enginesMin 7 years of relevant experienceExcellent knowledge of internal combustion enginesKnowledge of modern and classical control principlesExperience in data acquisition, including collecting and processing dataWorking knowledge of engine development, emissions development, engine technologies, and competitive productsOutstanding problem‑solving and analytical skillsStrong teamwork skills and ability to work independentlyEffective communication and interpersonal skillsPreferred QualificationsBachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from an ABET‑accredited universityExperience with powertrain development (systems, controls, calibration)Proficiency with advanced simulation toolsProficiency in MATLAB/SimulinkExperience in an Agile/Scrum environmentExperience with Application Lifecycle Management (IBM RTC) toolsFamiliarity with ASPICE processes for software developmentExperience with AUTOSAR‑compliant software architectureKnowledge of proactive/reactive quality tools (DFSS, DFMEA, DVP\&R, etc.)#J-18808-Ljbffr
