Role and Missions
As a Senior System Engineer within the System and Software Engineering team, you will be responsible for the specification and development of high-performance control algorithms such as for On-Board Chargers, DC-DC Converters, e-Motors (PMSM, WRSM, ASM) and traction Inverters for hybrid and electric vehicles. You will also participate in the verification and validation of these powertrain control algorithms.
An understanding of electric powertrain system control theory is essential to carry out daily activities as well as knowledge and experience in implementing control algorithms in Matlab/Simulink in both continuous and discrete time domains. In addition, experience in hybrid and electric vehicles architecture will be a strong asset to our team. A good knowledge of software programming will also help you to coordinate and work closely with embedded software engineers.
Main responsibilities of the position of the Senior System Engineer include to:
- Participate on system requirements analysis and architecture definition.
- Conduct a feasibility study for new features (literature review, theoretical analysis, theoretical implementation).
- Specify, design, implement and integrate control algorithms for the powertrain system.
- Work closely and collaborate with embedded software engineers to define, implement, and test SW requirements, architecture, and design elements.
- Participate in verification and validation of powertrain control algorithms (MIL, SIL and HIL).
- Document powertrain control algorithms.
- Apply AGILE and A-SPICE development flow.
- Ensure the quality management by understanding ISO26262 guidelines.
- Provide support to FAE and customers.
- Remotely support engineers on test benches for powertrain system validation.
- Share your knowledge and form junior system engineers.
The position requires pro-active involvement with all departments of the company and customers..
