Job description

Within the engine development department, the system function design group is responsible to design control concepts to meet new customer and legal requirements.

• Develop advanced control concepts and functionalities for Heavy Duty Diesel engine/powertrain systems, with a focus on engine, aftertreatment, emission control and diagnostic functions.
• Translate new emission, OBD and product requirements into robust and implementable control strategies and functionalities.
• Take charge in the development of emission-related controls and OBD / OBM concepts, including the definition, specification and alignment of system and controller requirements.
• Share Engine, Aftertreatment and OBD expertise with group and support creating vision for future concepts
• Develop and integrate control concepts using development environments such as SIL, HIL and Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP), including testing on engine and vehicle level where applicable.
• Play a key role as a technical integrator between suppliers and PACCAR internal stakeholders to develop the control concepts, ensuring alignment between requirements, controls, software implementation, calibration and system-level behavior.
• Verify and validate control functionalities using SIL, HIL, RCP, engine and/or vehicle testing as applicable.
• Create and maintain unambiguous documentation of controller requirements on engine/aftertreatment system level
• Support calibration engineers with the initial calibration of newly developed and integrated control functionalities.
• Support software implementation, object-code generation, integration and maintenance where required.
• Take initiative to constantly improve related tools and processes
• Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary project teams, working across controls, software, calibration, diagnostics and system engineering disciplines.
