About the role
We are seeking a Senior Controls Architect to lead the development and productionization of Drive-by-Wire control systems. The candidate will define control architecture and algorithms, develop models in Simulink, and enable production-quality code generation and deployment to embedded controllers. This role focuses on real-time control of steering, braking, and propulsion systems. This role supports a production program to deploy a Drive-by-Wire (DbW) solution on embedded vehicle controllers for a high-reliability vehicle application. The system is developed using a model-based design approach (MATLAB/Simulink) with auto-generated code deployed to production ECUs. Define control architecture for Drive-by-Wire systems (steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, throttle control) Develop control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink (model-based design) Generate and deploy embedded C code to production ECUs Implement closed-loop control strategies (PID, feedforward, etc.) Define system interfaces across sensors, ECUs, and actuators Ensure real-time performance and robustness Support MIL / SIL / PIL / HIL validation and vehicle testing U.S. Citizenship or Green Card is required 8+ years in automotive embedded control systems Strong experience with: MATLAB / Simulink Model-based development and code generation
Strong background in: Control systems and vehicle dynamics
Experience with: Embedded C / C++ Real-time ECU development CAN / LIN communication
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience with steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, or actuator control systems Experience with: Embedded Coder or AUTOSAR HIL tools (dSPACE, NI, etc.)
-
Familiarity with Calibration and diagnostics tools Exposure to Functional safety concepts (ISO 26262) Experience with Defense, off-highway, or heavy-duty vehicle platforms
-
Equal opportunity employer as to all protected groups, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities
