Motion Control Design Development Engineer

The Automated Driving Advanced Development team is actively searching for a Motion Control Design/Dev. Engineer. This is a design position with a focus on vehicle dynamics control, particularly longitudinal and lateral dynamics control design. As the owner of the Motion Control content within the organizations ecosystem, you will develop and maintain expertise needed for the organization to manage controlled systems including mechatronics and active chassis components for Preventive/Active Safety and Autonomous Driving aims. You will also interact closely with a variety of engineering domains in order to be aligned to the requirements necessary to integrate Motion Control content into the organizations prototype and production vehicles. We are looking for a self-starter with good engineering judgement, a solid background in control engineering, and the curiosity/motivation to learn as the technology progresses. Responsibilities include but not limited to

  • Develop, design, and co-design technical solutions for Advanced Vehicle Control Systems, Vehicle added value features, Autonomous Driving innovative solutions, e.g.:
  • Longitudinal and lateral vehicle Motion control;
  • Actuations (steering, braking, powertrain) control;
  • Vehicle States / Ego Motion design;
  • Vehicle / System integration finite state machines;
  • Release, maintain and update technical motion control system component specifications;
  • Evaluate technical proposals from partner suppliers;
  • Define and execute verification test plans of control systems;
  • Analyze the controlled systems data acquisitions in order to evaluate and refine the system performance to achieve the desired target;
  • Guarantee developed motion control contents knowledge transfer to related R&D involved dept. people.  

Requirements:
