The Gasoline Engine Controls & SW Development Engineer is responsible for developing new Combustion 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 Combustion 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.
