We are seeking a talented and innovative Powertrain and Electrified OBD Subsystem Engineer to join our team and work on the development of next-generation powertrain diagnostic software. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in control systems engineering and testing, a passion for automotive technology, and a drive to push the boundaries of innovation in the field. Deliver, validate, and maintain on-board diagnostic (OBD) solutions for powertrain technologies needed to meet global diagnostic regulatory requirements

What you'll do...

• Develop and deliver on-board diagnostic (OBD) solutions for powertrain technologies needed to meet global diagnostic regulatory requirements.

• Use Simulink to develop signal processing algorithms for requirements analysis and validation; leverage these prototype algorithms for future translation to production embedded software.

• Perform/oversee HIL, on-road, and dynamometer data collection to calibrate and validate sensor performance and diagnostic monitoring capability of new powertrain technologies.

• Lead and resolve software and calibration OBD issues with internal and external stakeholders in a timely manner.

• Author scripts using Matlab, Python and/or other scripting languages to analyze system/diagnostic behavior and support the calibration process.

You'll have... 

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science, or related degree, or foreign equivalency degree, or a combination of equivalent experience and education

• 2+ years of proven experience in automotive product development, preferably in powertrain diagnostics -- you have an extra space in front of 2 at the beginning of this line.

• 2+ years’ experience in analyzing / reviewing programming languages such as C/C++, MATLAB, or Simulink

 

Even better, you may have...

• Masters degree in Control Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

• Knowledge of vehicle powertrain systems and diagnostic protocols.

• Ability to apply System Engineering principles

• Experience with diagnostic tools.

• Previous experience in developing algorithms for fault detection and diagnostics.

• Understanding of OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) standards and regulations.

• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing methodologies.

• Experience with data analysis and visualization tools for diagnostic purposes.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Excellent communication, teamwork, and project management abilities
