Job Description

Who will you be working with?

You will be part of MCA (Modular Control Architecture) software team. The MCA SW architecture is highly flexible, made up of many modular software, application, and hardware elements. While flexibility adds opportunity and capability, it also adds complexity, driving the importance of a robust platform SW and communication strategy. MCA is built on MBSE (Model Based System Engineering) principles for requirements management and test cases with full traceability built into the MBSE model.

How will you make a difference?

The Engineering Technical Leader - Controls Engineering is responsible for design, development, and testing of control functions spanning across all locomotive subsystems with controls content. This position provides a unique opportunity to interact with all locomotive subsystems with controls content.

What do we want to know about you?
  • Bachelor's degree in software engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, or relevant experience
  • Experience in Matlab/Simulink
  • 5+ years relevant engineering experience
  • Ability and willingness to support hands-on validation in simulation laboratory and on-locomotive
  • Ability and willingness to travel as required


What will your typical day look like?
  • Design Simulink control application architectures which are robust against expected configurability needs, thus limiting the impact through appropriate modularity and abstraction.
  • Define control requirements and allocate to applications to meet system-level functional requirements.
  • Plan individual and sub team work for assigned projects and product features as input to integrated project plans
  • Provide timely communications on significant issues or developments.
  • Drive process improvements and simplification initiatives to improve quality and productivity.
  • Review and refine system-level requirements to understand design intent and reconcile with control system capabilities.
  • Define interfaces among control applications within software.
