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
