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 limp-home 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 blendingArchitect software and electrical interfaces between vehicle motion modules, sensors, and actuatorsLead end to end development of propulsion software components across the V cycle from system architecture and requirements definition to software implementation, integration, and vehicle verificationCollaborate with international teams to integrate interdependent software componentsLead integration and testing of the torque path at unit, SIL, HIL, and vehicle levelsConduct 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 field5 years of experience writing C/C++ for safety critical real time embedded systems in production applications10 years of experience in automotive systems engineering or controls development with a focus on propulsion or chassis systemsProven experience developing system level requirements and architectures for safety critical vehicle functionsStrong understanding of torque path architecture, braking systems, and control feature interactionsCross functional experience with software, EE, validation, and calibration to align interface definitions and system behaviorFamiliarity with system modeling, signal definition, and traceability tools (e.g. SysML, DOORS, Polarion) Salary Range: $120,000 - $220,000
