The Subject Matter Expert in Engine Controls Development plays a critical role within the Engine Control Product Release Center (PRC). This expert works with the Controls Center of Excellence (COE) Manger, Controls Developers, Calibration, Advanced and Production Requirements teams to ensure all requirements are delivered by the Controls COE team function with the highest quality to meet program functional objectives. This role provides technical leadership to the PRC controls developers in the proper implementation of the controls requirements, including controls assessments and prototype/production controls & software development. The expert leads training in all aspects of engine control development. The Subject matter expert is the key participant for controls & software content planning & exceution as well issue investigations and resolution planning for the team.
Responsibilities includes but not limited to:- Read & Comprehend high level requirements related to the intended vehicle-level behavior
- Design the appropriate control algorithm that fulfills the functional objectives
- Implementation of the control algorithm in Matlab-Simulink, C, etc.
- Provide best-guess calibration dataset
- Pre-verification of the implementation, check of the requirements' compliance, through Model In The Loop (MIL) testing;
- Pre-verification of the generated code, through Software in the Loop (SIL) testing or specific tools able to monitor the consumption of software resources.
- Generation of integrated proto code builds
- Verification of official code builds or proto code builds in the HIL lab or in the vehicle, using ETAS INCA tools;
- Analysis and response to the tracked issues
- Attendance to the main technical meetings, data analysis and issues' resolution
- Process documentation development
- Calibration & Application community support.
