Controls Integration Engineer

**Are you ready to see your code come to life on the road?** If you are an engineer who thrives at the intersection of software development, hands-on vehicle testing, and high-impact leadership, this is the role you’ve been looking for. The **Powertrain and Electrified Controls (PTEC)** team is seeking a high-energy, self-motivated **Controls Integration Engineer**. In this role, you won’t just be writing code behind a desk—you will be the bridge between software and physical vehicle performance. You will lead the integration of cutting-edge controls for both next-generation electrified vehicles (xEV) and traditional powertrain applications. This is a **highly visible role** offering immense **autonomy**, rapid **career development**, and the unique satisfaction of seeing the direct, tangible output of your work on physical prototype vehicles, dynos, and breadboards. **Why You’ll Love This Role:** - **Direct Impact:** You are responsible for program delivery. You will watch your software and integration efforts drive physical vehicles. - **Autonomy & Leadership:** You will lead commissioning, troubleshooting, and milestone reviews, giving you the freedom to own your outcomes. - **High Visibility:** You will represent the Controls department at major program and launch meetings, presenting directly to stakeholders and leadership at varying technical levels. - **Cross-Functional Exposure:** You will collaborate daily with diverse teams, including brakes, body controls, and calibration, rapidly expanding your systems-engineering expertise. **What You’ll Do:** **Lead Vehicle-Level Integration & Commissioning** - Lead the physical commissioning process for prototype vehicles (both High Voltage and Low Voltage systems), breadboards, and dynos. - Develop and maintain comprehensive Vehicle and Breadboard Test Plans for each vehicle application. - Perform high-level Function Design Verification, analyze testing results, and develop DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report) as needed. **Drive Software & Program Delivery** - Serve as the Powertrain Software Applications Engineer, ensuring seamless integration of powertrain software across various platforms. - Drive powertrain controls commonality across diverse vehicle applications. - Lead requirement signoff to secure official program signoffs. - Track and report progress on program deliverables, ~~updating status in the Global Integrator.~~ - Lead preparation and assessments for critical Engineering milestone reviews (FDJ, PEC, FEC). **Hands-On Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis** - Lead deep-dive troubleshooting efforts for vehicle controls issues, bringing in supporting teams as needed to resolve complex issues. - Own the investigation, root cause analysis, and permanent corrective action (PCA) process for xEV and traditional controls-related concerns. **Collaborate, Present & Plan** - Represent the PTEC team at program and launch meetings, capturing and communicating key timing and program changes. - Support timing and vehicle studies for both existing and next-generation vehicle programs. - Develop and deliver technical presentations for PTEC Controls Integration to stakeholders at all levels of the organization. **What You Bring (Minimum Requirements):** - **Education:** Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Controls, Computer Science, or a related field). - **Vehicle Experience:** 2+ years of hands-on experience troubleshooting and debugging physical vehicles. - **Software Literacy:** 2+ years of experience in roles requiring a strong understanding of embedded software code, C-books, or Matlab models. - **Calibration Tools:** 2+ years of experience with calibration and diagnostic toolsets (e.g., ATI Vision, CANalyzer, PTDIAG, EOL tools, or equivalent major automotive tools). - **Quality & Validation:** 2+ years of experience with Design Verification (DV) and the Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) processes. - **Agile Methodology:** 1+ years of experience work…
