You will work cross-functionally with systems, calibration, and software teams while leveraging model-based development and AUTOSAR architecture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and enhance engine control algorithms for gasoline powertrain systems using MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow

  • Translate system requirements (CFTS) into scalable AUTOSAR Software Components (SWCs)

  • Define and manage interfaces including CAN (DBC), OBD (PIDs/DIDs), and ECU communication

  • Design AUTOSAR-compliant interfaces,arxmlfiles, and integrate software compositions

  • Perform MIL, HIL, and vehicle-level validation; develop DVP&R plans

  • Generate embedded code and RTE through integration pipelines and support builds

  • Implement diagnostics, NVRAM storage, and variant management strategies

  • Ensure compliance with emissions regulations and support reporting

  • Collaborate with calibration teams to ensure feature performance andcalibratability

  • Participatein Agile ceremonies and technical reviews

  • Provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers

Basic Qualifications:
