Your space-enabled career begins here

Role Description

We are vertically integrating propulsion control to enable innovation in next generation electric vehicles. As a Staff Controls Engineer – Propulsion, you will own and drive system definition, control architecture, and requirements for key propulsion functions including torque request handling, inverter and motor control, regenerative torque path, propulsion diagnostics, and limp-home strategies. Your work will directly impact how we design, validate, and deliver high integrity, safety critical software for EV propulsion.

Responsibilities

• Define and own system level functional and non functional requirements for propulsion features including acceleration control, torque blending, regenerative braking, and brake blending

• Architect software and electrical interfaces between vehicle motion modules, sensors, and actuators

• Lead end to end development of propulsion software components across the V cycle from system architecture and requirements definition to software implementation, integration, and vehicle verification

• Collaborate with international teams to integrate interdependent software components

• Lead integration and testing of the torque path at unit, SIL, HIL, and vehicle levels

• Conduct in vehicle testing to develop and validate initial parameter sets

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering or a related field

• 5+ years of experience writing C/C++ for safety critical real time embedded systems in production applications

• 10+ years of experience in automotive systems engineering or controls development with a focus on propulsion or chassis systems

• Proven experience developing system level requirements and architectures for safety critical vehicle functions

• Strong understanding of torque path architecture, braking systems, and control feature interactions

• Cross functional experience with software, EE, validation, and calibration to align interface definitions and system behavior

• Familiarity with system modeling, signal definition, and traceability tools (e.g. SysML, DOORS, Polarion)

Salary Range: $120,000 - $220,000
