Electronic Systems Technical Specialist - Software

Job Summary:

The individual will be primarily responsible for supporting Aftertreatment Controls Integration on Non-CMI engine applications to meet EPA 2027 regulations. This role requires gaining proficiency in Aftertreatment (AT) software controls and diagnostic features to provide inputs to customers during their calibration development exercises, enabling them to meet AT system performance design targets. The individual will generate control software feature requirements as necessary, working closely with ATI Calibration and Aftertreatment Systems Engineering functions within CES and OEM organizations. They will engage closely with AT software component development stakeholders during feature development to resolve any gaps in requirements definition and ensure features are validated to generated requirements. Additionally, the individual will investigate and troubleshoot the correctness of software behavior using customer-provided data to identify root causes for system malfunctions. They will support and actively participate with the Test team to schedule and run bench tests for troubleshooting suspected software defects. A Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Science Engineering is preferred. Job skill requirements include expertise in control systems and algorithms, system electronic controls, Matlab-Simulink, embedded software development tools, C programming language, and experience with failure analysis and investigation, as well as product/software development life cycle activities. CSAR proficiency is preferred.

 

In this role you will make an impact in the following ways:

• Investigate product software problems, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, own problem resolution, and document results.
• Apply and improve product software development processes and tools, including coding, compiling, and testing.
• Utilize tools such as code editors, integration tools, static analysis tools, compilers, and hardware-in-the-loop test tools.
• Obtain input and negotiate with product and software development teams to deliver verified software features, components, and builds to product teams.
• Use systems knowledge and expertise to make decisions in the areas of software requirements, architecture, design, and testing that impact the quality and performance of software builds, product lines (platforms), and management of cross-BU integration and coordination.
• Review the work of less-experienced developers/testers to ensure robust, reusable, and efficient designs.
• Interact and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Provide independent leadership of smaller business impact projects or ownership of complex components, products, systems, or services with greater elements of ambiguity over the senior or lead engineer level and with full accountability to the project team.
• Deliver independent execution of established and emerging work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge.
• Lead the development and improvement of work processes and systems across functions within a global business unit or manage improvement across business units.
• Coordinate and direct work amongst technicians and temporary student employees.
• Assist in the transfer of knowledge to less experienced engineers through either indirect (scope of influence) or direct management of a small, local group of engineers.
• Provide support and guidance to influence technical direction within a project team and continue to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
• Operate as a recognized specialist in a discipline or product area within the immediate team.

To be successful in this role you will need the following:

• Product Failure Mode Avoidance: Mitigates potential product failure modes by identifying interfaces, functions, requirements, interactions, control factors, and noise factors. Prioritizes potential failure modes and causes to improve product reliability effectively and efficiently.
• Product Function Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis: Utilizes computational tools and methods to predict product function capabilities relative to system, sub-system, and component level requirements, impacting design decisions.
• Product Platform Planning and Architecting: Develops holistic product platforms with key architectural features and function variants aligned with market plans. Performs trade-off analysis in collaboration with stakeholders to ensure balanced and optimal platforms. Communicates and maintains traceable information and plans executed by product development teams.
• Product Software Design and Construction: Constructs pr
