Controls Developer – Automotive Powertrain Systems (Auburn Hills)
Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group, Auburn Hills, MI, United States
The
Controls Developer
will be responsible for developing and maintaining
control algorithms for automotive powertrain systems
using
Model-Based Development methodologies . The role involves translating high-level requirements into control logic, supporting system integration, and ensuring compliance with company development standards.
The engineer will collaborate with
system, validation, and calibration teams
to support software verification, system integration, and issue resolution throughout the development lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities:
Review high-level requirements (VF/CFTS) and create RCNs/Capabilities to implement control logic.
Develop and maintain control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink for automotive powertrain applications.
Generate software architecture artifacts using SystemDesk in accordance with AUTOSAR architecture requirements.
Develop and maintain Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) documents for assigned functions according to company standards.
Prepare and maintain control software documentation, including:
AECD (Algorithm Engineering Control Document)
OBD inputs
CCDD (Component Control Design Description)
Support system requirement development, software verification, validation, and calibration activities.
Provide technical support to Powertrain Calibration, Application, and System Integration teams, including second-level troubleshooting.
Investigate and resolve software issues reported in PITS/GIMS within defined timing requirements.
Act as the technical point of contact for assigned features or subsystems across internal and external teams.
Participate in advanced development projects and contribute to innovation in control system design.
Participate in Agile development processes, including DRP sprint planning, reviews, and team ceremonies.
