Staff Systems Engineer Propulsion

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 limphome 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 CC++ 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
