Senior/Staff Algorithm Engineer, Vehicle Chassis

About the role:

We are seeking a talented algorithm engineering expert for our vehicle systems development in the Drive-by-wire field. Your position will involve the algorithm development of embedded ECU software for safety-critical applications such as steering control, brake control or throttle actuation. The development shall involve the model-based development of embedded software as well as preceding phases involving prototyping components. You will use your experience in the automotive series software development to create vehicle chassis control algorithms involving the software development itself, requirements drafting as well as integration of the software in various verification and validation steps. You will be responsible for drafting, designing, testing and triaging the algorithms throughout their whole life cycle.

This role is onsite at least 4 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office!

What you'll do:

• Build and improve vehicle chassis control algorithms for embedded ECU hardware
• Create functionally safe software by following common automotive standards for functional safety
• Design vehicle control software on rapid prototyping toolchains, test algorithms on bench setups, HiL systems and vehicle platforms, and draft requirements for your algorithms
• Ensure software maturity and traceability with professional documentation and collaboration with requirements engineers
• Create and track software release plans as well as testing activities to achieve continuous integration of software products in vehicle and field testing

What we're looking for:

• Master’s degree in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or similar, ideally with focus on automotive engineering
• 5+ years of experience in designing electrical systems for automotive platforms
• Demonstrated ability to develop and implement full-time critical systems
• Competency in vehicle algorithm design such as vehicle-related control algorithms, state machine design
• High proficiency in model-based software engineering (Matlab Simulink)
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping hardware such as dSpace Autobox or comparable tools (Speedgoat, ETAS) and accompanying software such as ControlDesk
• Demonstrated ability to meet ambitious timelines with critical deliverables
• Experience with standards and practices such as ISO26262, MISRA-C and AUTOSAR
• Familiarity with automotive embedded systems. Experience with CAN, LIN analysis, and debugging tools (PCAN, CANalyzer, CANape, etc.)
