Detailed Description

Key Responsibilities

• Functional Software requirements analysis
  •  Analyze software requirements based on the top-level customer and system requirement documents to ensure that the customer and internal specifications are being met for the program
  • Review system requirements at the start of the program in order to verify the system can meet each requirement
• Cross-Functional team activities
  • Lead and facilitate discussions between cross-functional teams including the Controls, Software and Calibration groups
  • Lead and participate in discussions with external teams (customers and suppliers)
  • Provide technical assistance and feedback to the controls and system engineering teams on system integration and testing
  • Work closely with the functional safety team to determine the scope of the functional safety concept from a systems level and create test cases to meet functional safety requirements
• Implementation of new algorithms
  • Propose new ideas and features to the controls team which may be later developed into core algorithms which will improve our products in terms of system performance.
  • Design and demonstrate new control algorithms to current and potential customers.  
• Vehicle development plan and testing
  • Work closely with the calibration and verification group to define test cases which are used for verification of various feature
• Software and Calibration release
  • Integrate internal and customer calibration releases including all required documentation
  • Support planning, review and approval of calibration and software releases
  • Conduct peer reviews with calibrators prior to releases
• Problem analyses
  • Actively investigate and analyze issues and fault codes reported internally and from the customer.  Work with the various internal teams to track these issues and help them with the closing of these issues
• Development Trips and Travel
  • Plan and support development trips to check the functionality and robustness of new algorithm features in real world conditions
  • Travel during winter and summer months to support cold and hot weather testing to test tracks in Upper Peninsula, Michigan and Arizona
  • Occasional international travel
