Powertrain Controls Engineer (Algorithms and Software)

Job Description

Job Description:

The Powertrain Controls Engineer - Intermediate is responsible for the design and development of production engine controls algorithms and software, with a focus on engine torque security.

Specific responsibilities include:

Creating physics based models of engine airflow, fuel efficiency, and spark efficiency, for the purpose of calculating delivered engine flywheel torque and vehicle force.

Creating control algorithms to determine, monitor, and arbitrate engine torque and vehicle force requests from internal and external sources (i.e. driver, transmission, ABS, ACC).

Creating controls software interface between engine, transmission, and hybrid motor controllers, to ensure safe and accurate vehicle force delivery.

Creating eGas compliant software for safety monitoring, including memory corruption detection, program flow exceptions, and microprocessor failures.

Creating level 2 monitoring software for occupant safety during engine stop/start operation, to prevent unintended vehicle movement.

Controls/Software validation on HIL (Hardware in the Loop), MIL (Model in the Loop), and SIL (Software in the Loop) simulation systems, as well as in vehicle testing.

Simulation of vehicle CAN communications network using Vector CANalyzer/Canoe toolset.

Data capture and analysis using INCA and MDS toolset.

Initial calibration of torque security control system.

Establishing ISO26262 vehicle safety standards and ASIL levels, including use of Fault tree analysis and DFMEA
