Job purpose
The position is for an eLine development/project engineer in the Core Products group within Commercial Vehicle (CV) Product Development. This position will focus on the controls development within the power electronics for our high speed turbomachinery. Communication and collaboration with a team of engineers focusing on controls and high speed motors/controllers will be necessary. Experience with controls simulation, motors, powertrain management hardware will also be necessary.
The Core Products Electronics & Controls group is a small team that engages on new products during the concept and development phase. In the Concept phase the team surveys the turbocharger marketplace for innovation opportunities and then probes those opportunities for functional proof of concept (PoC) and commercial viability. Then developing the products to transition from the concept to the production phase in the areas of system requirements development and management, system calibration, system problem solving, sensor system development, and system integration.
The Controls Engineer position within this group is primarily responsible for motor and controls development. The position will also be responsible for guiding and specifying the SW requirements and functional safety aspects for the eLine systems. Close collaboration with the rest of the group will be necessary so that the SW evolves into system-level controls and ultimately PoC results as rapidly as possible.
Key responsibilities

• Assist in debugging through established problem solving techniques and debug on bench
• Interface with Systems engineering to ensure software requirements are documented appropriately and analyzed prior to software design and implementation
• Guide implementation of new electronics, sensors, and components into mechatronic systems
• Understands requirement to generate controls implementations, and system models
• Ensure document traceability from requirements through test cases
• Use of data acquisition systems over CCP/XCP (e.g.INCA, ATi,Vector) for calibration and debugging
• Work as part of a development team
• Communicates and enforces safe work procedures.
• Identifies and closes safety issues (suggestions, inspection and investigation findings) and their corrective actions.
• Determine functional requirements for product hardware and software including electric motor, power electronics, cooling methods, and performance criteria.
• Review EMI / EMC test plans and results for electrical hardware and motors.
• Development and support turbocharger electric high speed motor technology. This includes application selection guidance, validation, controller tuning, and system trouble shooting.
