Your seasoned expertise in the electrification domain will fuel the design and evolution of software components to optimize system operation and maximize range and drivability of electrified vehicles. This includes online optimization of torque splits on dual axles of Electric and Hybrid vehicles, selecting/stabilizing engine and transmission states using open and closed loop torque distribution strategies, managing system transitions, component limitations and driveline dynamics (compliance, lash, road load disturbances) to facilitate smooth driving operations in electrified drivelines.

What You'll Do:

• Lead complex sub-system analysis to define functional controls and requirements, including I/O Interface requirements (e.g., mapping, performance, transfer functions, safety, regulatory, etc.), while applying Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) principles.

• Leverage physical (Vehicles and benches) and virtual (Models and simulations) to establish test cases and acceptance criteria for normal and degraded states of applicable sub-systems.

• Create and maintain Sub-System Technical Specification (SSTS) and Behavioral Test Specifications (BTS) documents for applicable subsystems.

• Create and maintain sub-system specifications in requirements management software (e.g., Doors, DNG, Markdown, etc.), including Functional Architecture Documents (FADs), and Context Diagrams with the assistance of Global Architecture teams.

• Lead the root cause analysis for all appliable sub-system related issues and translate solutions into new or revised requirements.

• Lead sub-system level FMEAs and collaborate on System and Component FMEAs and manage FMEA processes across applicable subsystems.

• Collaborate with Controls and Software Engineers to review software implementation, ensuring compliance with requirements, and creating/executing Features/Stories in Jira to manage sub-system requirements and specifications.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Computer Science, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline.

• Minimum of 5+ years of experience in the field of expertise.

• Ability to prioritize work with only limited direction from manager.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Master's or PhD in Engineering with an emphasis on Controls.

• 8+ years of experience in the field of expertise.

• Experience or knowledge in EV and Hybrid Operating Strategy execution, constraints management (RESS power, motor torque, torque security), shift execution management, drive unit management (oil pump, lube, oil temp sensing, and disconnect clutch), ETRS actuator management, friction fill and strong hybrid axle torque distribution.

• Experience or knowledge in EV Driveline Dynamics management (active damping, lash, and wheel slip).

• Experience leveraging simulation environments and plant modeling for testing or requirements generation is a plus (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, D-Space HIL, SIL, ETAS Inca, etc.).

• Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., Doors, DNG, Markdown, etc.).

• Experience with change management tools (e.g., Jira, GIT, IBM RTC, etc.).

• Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering and associates SysML Tools (e.g., Rhapsody) Experience with Scaled Agile Development (SAFe) process.

• Experience with OBD regulations requirements.

• Experience with safety critical systems (e.g., ISO-26262).
