Senior Software Engineer, Powertrain Control

Position:  Senior Software Engineer, Powertrain Control

Description of duties:

Responsible for development of the control software for powertrain of our electric vehicle. Specifically, the detailed job duties include:

1. Develop and validate advanced electric motor control algorithms and control strategies for electrified powertrains in the laboratory.
2. Develop state-feedback field-oriented controls (FOC) and robust state observers.
3. Develop pulse-width-modulation (PWM) and over-modulation algorithms for power electronic converters using state-of-the-art techniques.
4. Implement control algorithms on microcontroller chips using C programming.
5. Perform parameter calibration for electric motors using back-to-back motor dyno and full-scale drivetrain dyno.
6. Post-process experimental data using LabVIEW/Matlab for control algorithm development.
7. Bring up new prototypes of electric motors and power electronic converters on the dyno for performance evaluation and system characterization.
8. Build simulation models incorporating models of electric motors and power electronic converters in Matlab/Simulink.
9. Design and implement electric motor control algorithms with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations.
10. Research new electric motor control techniques in international journals and publications.

Requirements:   

Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related plus 6 months’ experience as a R&D Engineer, Software Engineer, Powertrain Control Engineer or related.
