System Design Engineer - Braking Controls Farmington Hills, MI Summary of the Embedded Controls Development Engineer: Our client, a developer of next generation electronic brake technologies, is looking for a Embedded Controls Development Engineer to play a key role developing advanced brake systems. In this position, you'll develop core motor controls and/or application software for next generation technology.
You'll work through the full development life-cycle, working primarily in Matlab and Simulink. This is challenging, exciting new work for a company that offers stability and long-term growth options. Responsibilities of the Embedded Controls Development Engineer: System Analysis and Documentation Establish baseline system requirements for advanced drive by wire electric brake applications; Manage and establish core work products used for validation of system requirements; Collaborate with the cross-functional engineering team to establish system requirement specifications.
Collaborate with the cross-functional engineering team to establish component-level requirements for optimized system architecture and performance; Support system engineering team with the establishment of use and test cases with traceability to system requirement specifications; Collaborate with the system engineering team to ensure requirement traceability throughout the development lifecycle. Participate in team reviews to make sure the development work processes are compliant; generate necessary evidence report for demonstrating the compliances. System Design and Development Based on the system requirement specifications, optimize the system architecture and design to ensure complete requirements coverage.
Establish the theoretical system model from first principles using conventional or analytical system dynamics; Work with subsystem/component design engineers to establish necessary system parameter requirements. Develop closed-loop models of advanced brake by wire systems for feedback control and estimation development. Validate the closed-loop system robustness and parameter sensitivity using MiL and RCP bench techniques.
Verify the system performance against the system requirements in case of any change from subsystem or component level parameters; Develop system countermeasures as needed in order to achieve project requirements; Request and support specialized equipment development for characterization of electrical and mechanical sub-components of the electro-mechanical assembly under development; Support the system test engineer to execute both System Test and System Integration Test plans as needed. Qualifications for the Embedded Controls Development Engineer: Master's degree (PhD a plus) with a concentration in system controls, or mechatronic systems, with 4+ years of related industry experience. Experience modeling closed-loop system dynamics using Matlab/Simulink Solid background with motor controls Strong understanding of coupled electromechanical system dynamics Strong theoretical & numerical modeling capability Experience using system optimization techniques to ensure optimal system design solution Experience in Linear and Non-Linear System Theory and Controls Preferred Familiarity with vehicle ESC and braking systems Experience with PMSM motor control Experience with parameter identification techniques Track record of establishing modern closed-loop control systems CarSim for closed-loop MiL and/or HiL validation Rapid Control Prototyping using dSPACE toolchain and Mathworks Real-Time Workshop Experience developing Matlab GUI for internal toolchain development Compensation for the Embedded Controls Development Engineer: Salary Range: $105,000-125,000 depending on qualifications Type: Direct-Hire Travel: As and when required Relocation Assistance: Subject to review Visa Sponsorship: H1B transfers only.
