• Propulsion Thermal Management System

• Battery Management System

• Chassis and Brake Controls

• Body Electronics and Controls including vehicle access, occupant comfort, occupant protection, lighting, visibility and vehicle State

The Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Simulation Integration Engineers (SIE) are ultimately responsible to deliver a quality simulation environment on time to meet the customers’ requirements.  This position requires an individual with a passion for modeling, an adept knowledge of system simulation and integration, and demonstrated capability for managing a wide variety of technical and customer needs.

What You'll Do:

• Lead the development and integration of cosimulation components to satisfy the end user test requirements.

• Create virtual controller models to be used across different simulations.

• Create, maintain and test virtual controller components such as HWIO, RTOS, communication models, etc.

• Obtain, develop & parameterize sub-system models, such as sensors and actuators, and ECU behavioral models.

• Work with development engineers to understand new feature requirements, address issues, and ensure proper implementation.

• Work with System Engineers to define SIMBOMs (the required cosimulation assets) based on the test requirements.

• Integrate Plant models and other ECU models into a dynamic virtual simulation.

• Create and maintain detailed documents for each release.

• Provide support for released simulations and assist with user testing and troubleshooting.

• Provide technical support and guidance to other team members.

• Ensure the cosimulation environments are delivered with quality.

• Support cloud deployments.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor of Science degree in one of the following disciplines: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field.

• 2+ years of software engineering experience.

• Proficient in Embedded C, C++ and Python.

• Competent with embedded controls software and the automated software build processes including gcc compiler, gdb debugger, Eclipse, Jenkins and ETAS INCA tools.

• Adept experience with MATLAB and Simulink in context of plant model development and integration and basic usage of additional simulation tools (e.g. GT-Power, AMESIM, CarSim).

• Proficient in automotive communication technologies such as CAN, LIN, SPI and automotive ethernet.

• Familiar with FMU/FMI standards and SSP.

• Familiar with AUTOSAR Layered Software Architecture.

What Can Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Master’s degree in a field of Engineering, Computer Science or related fields.

• 5+ years of embedded software development experience.

• Experience in virtualization or software integration.

• Experience in designing and developing vehicle body controls, propulsion thermal, battery management, chassis and brake controls software.
