The Principal Engineer-Autonomy & Active Safety will provide lead engineering support efforts for active safety, advanced driver assistance systems and unmanned ground vehicles system and subsystem design projects involving broad design assignments of considerable scope and complexity.

YOUR IMPACT:

• Responsible for completion of a project or part of a project of moderate complexity on time.
• May be responsible for overall project schedule and budget.
• May be responsible for managing multiple priorities.
• Performs more complex software development, architecture design, engineering calculations, investigations, and tasks as assigned according to Oshkosh as well as general industry engineering standards and processes.
• Responsible for preparation and delivery of plans, designs, computation methods, and/or reporting.
• Collaborate as needed with other engineering or business support disciplines internally as well as suppliers externally.
• May have exposure to the external customers and/or industry organizations.
• Provide guidance or mentorship to entry level engineers working on common projects.
• Research, create, and update standard engineering methodology and procedures - best practices, etc.
• Utilize model-based software tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, TargetLink, etc.; write embedded C and/or C++ software to configure and control hardware and provide API’s for application code.
• Utilization of these design tools will be for the development of active safety, advanced driver assistance systems and unmanned ground vehicle technologies for Oshkosh products.
• Responsible for advanced vehicle system controls research, development, verification and validation, testing and production implementation.
• Establish requirements (resources, equipment, estimates, test plans, and milestones) according to the needs of a project.
• Responsible for developing control strategies in a virtual simulation environment using modeling tools (such as ADAMS, MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, EASY 5 etc.) or hardware-in-the-loop simulators and transferring simulated strategies to vehicle testing and eventual production implementation.
• Work with internal and external (industry consortiums, universities...) project teams on advanced control development efforts.
• Assist feasibility studies and project estimates (man power, budget development, timelines...) on proposed projects.
• Support proposal development with regards to acquiring appropriate funding for various advanced control development efforts.
• Provide support and insight to engineering design teams as needed based on expertise.
• Other duties as assigned.
• Regular attendance is required.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:  

• Accredited Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field with five (5) or more years of related experience.

STANDOUT QUALIFICATIONS: 

• Accredited Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering.
• Familiarity with C#, PLCs, Python, and SQL database in addition to embedded C/C++.

CORE COMPETENCIES:

• Internal Contacts: Contact with peers and others involving explanation of information (these contacts may be within or outside department or division), and the gathering of factual information; may include the communication of sensitive or confidential information.
• External Contacts: Limited external contact to: gather information, answer queries, or ask assistance.
• Communication Skills: Read, write and comprehend simple instructions, short correspondence and memos; Read and interpret safety rules, operating/maintenance instructions and procedure manuals; Write routine reports, correspondence and speak effectively before both internal and external groups; Read, analyze and interpret business manuals, technical procedures and/or government regulations: Read, analyze and interpret scientific and technical journals, financial reports and legal documents.
• Decision-Making: Regularly makes significant decisions and final results, typically affecting the entire department. Available guides or precedents are limited. Has authority over the allocation of resources.
• Complexity, Judgment and Problem Solving: Work requires the ability to plan and perform work in light of new or constantly changing problems, work from broad instruction, and deal with complex factors not easily evaluated.  Decisions require considerable judgment, initiative and ingenuity in areas there is little precedent.
