Description
Description We are seeking a Senior Controls Architect to lead the development and productionization of Drive-by-Wire control systems. The candidate will define control architecture and algorithms, develop models in Simulink, and enable production-quality code generation and deployment to embedded controllers. This role focuses on real-time control of steering, braking, and propulsion systems. This role supports a production program to deploy a Drive-by-Wire (DbW) solution on embedded vehicle controllers for a high-reliability vehicle application. The system is developed using a model-based design approach (MATLAB/Simulink) with auto-generated code deployed to production ECUs. • Define control architecture for Drive-by-Wire systems (steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, throttle control) • Develop control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink (model-based design) • Generate and deploy embedded C code to production ECUs • Implement closed-loop control strategies (PID, feedforward, etc.) • Define system interfaces across sensors, ECUs, and actuators • Ensure real-time performance and robustness • Support MIL / SIL / PIL / HIL validation and vehicle testing Requirements • U.S. Citizenship or Green Card is required • 8+ years in automotive embedded control systems • Strong experience with: • MATLAB / Simulink • Model-based development and code generation • Strong background in: • Control systems and vehicle dynamics • Experience with: • Embedded C / C++ • Real-time ECU development • CAN / LIN communication Preferred Qualifications: • Experience with steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, or actuator control systems • Experience with: • Embedded Coder or AUTOSAR • HIL tools (dSPACE, NI, etc.) • Familiarity with Calibration and diagnostics tools • Exposure to Functional safety concepts (ISO 26262) • Experience with Defense, off-highway, or heavy-duty vehicle platforms Equal opportunity employer as to all protected groups, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities
