DUTIES

Nexteer Automotive Corporation seeks a SwaaP Controls Engineer based out of our office at 1272 Doris Road, Auburn Hills, MI 48326. This is a hybrid position whereby the employee will work both from home and from the aforementioned office address. Hence, the employee must live within a reasonable commuting distance of the aforementioned office address. This position does not require travel.

Develop Controls algorithms based on Predicting Driver intent. Develop the Predictive information algorithm based on Cloud data from other vehicles. Develop Arbitration algorithm between Driver inputs and Machine inputs (coming from environmental sensors: radars, camera, weather maps etc.). Integrate Lateral control algorithms (steering) with Longitudinal control algorithms (brake / throttle). Facilitate Data analysis and tools development for visualization and calibration of such algorithms. Perform Simulation to predict/analyze performance and bench testing together with in-vehicle development. Provide technical leadership for projects incorporating complex electromechanical (“Mechatronic”) systems. Help in development of ADAS functions, diagnoses and corrects deficiencies in designs and prototypes. Use rapid prototyping tools for system development. Perform Simulation and Analysis of Dynamic Systems. Closed Loop Controls Algorithms for such Systems. Stay abreast of new ADAS technology, sensors, functions, etc.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
