Job description

We are a Belgian engineering consulting firm that assists SMEs and large industrial organizations in bringing their innovation and R&D initiatives to life.

Job Description

About the Role

As Controls Engineer you will design, develop and validate the control strategies of our innovative hybrid transmission. It has a modular design with variants that are suitable for mild-, plug-in and full hybrid vehicles. Your expertise will contribute to cutting‑edge SW solutions within the automotive industry, ensuring compliance with functional-, performance- and safety standards.

Responsibilities

• You will join a team of >20 controls engineers that develop the controls software for our hybrid product line.
• The controls software is developed according to the Model Based Development process (V-cycle) with Simulink. You will work on the design and validation of specific functions or modules in the application software, e.g. driving strategy, coordination, clutch- or gear actuation, diagnostics, functional safety.
• You will be involved in every step of the software development V-cycle for the functions that you are working on, i.e. defining the requirements (in alignment with the customer), designing the control strategies, implementing them in Simulink, verifying them in a simulation environment (MiL) and supporting the validation on other test platforms (HiL, test bench, vehicle).
• You will work together closely with different internal stakeholders (system engineering team, functional validation & performance team, ESW team, testing team and simulation team) contributing to the realization of new powertrain technologies and products.

Profile / Requirements

• Master's or PhD in Mechatronics, Controls, Electrical Engineering or similar
• 3+ years of work experience, preferably in the automotive context
• Extensive experience with a broad set of MathWorks products (including Matlab, Simulink, Stateflow, EmbededCoder)
• Experience with production-intended control strategy design, for code generation purposes.
• Ability to perform structured root-cause analysis of complex software and system-level issues.
• Experience performing functional and nonfunctional tests (mainly at SW validation level) for automotive components, subsystems or systems
• Experience with Data and measurement analysis (e.g., in canape)
• Good knowledge of ISO26262 (mainly part 6) and ASPICE SWE1 to SWE6
• Basic understanding of AUTOSAR
• Experience with Agile teams and familiarity with toolchains like JIRA, is an asset
• You proceed according to a good methodology in development and problem solving.
• You are well organized and have strong analytical and communication skills.
• You are an excellent team player.
