Role summary

Controls Software Engineer responsible for managing automatic transmission software components. This role involves handling changes, requirements, validation coordination, issue resolution, and release updates using software development and quality processes. Requires 5 years of experience in automatic transmissions, 4 years in C/MATLAB/Simulink, 2 years in software testing and SDLC, and 1 year in Agile environments. Preferred skills include powertrain controls, AI tools, and automotive calibration tools. The position is hybrid, requiring 4 days per week in the office.

Position Description:
Own and manage multiple automatic transmission software components (features): manage changes and requirements, coordinate validation with HIL and calibration teams, act as SPOC for issue triage and resolution, bookshelf and release updates using software development and software quality processes, including all necessary deliverables (e.g. test reports, DVMs, calibration guides, etc.)

Skills Required:

Transmissions - Experience having worked on automatic transmissions either in software design or calibration. Approximately 5 years of experience in this area is sufficient. Agile Software Development - knowledge of agile principles. 1 year of working in an Agile environment is sufficient
Software Testing - experience using software testing tools to generate and evaluate standard software quality metrics like decision coverage, MC/DC and line coverage. 2 years of software testing experience.

Artificial IntelligenceExpert Systems - knowledge of AI tools (like copilot) and having used AI to assist in the creation, or completion, of work related tasks and objectives.

Experience Required:
4+ years developing automatic transmission controls using c-code and MATLAB/Simulink and State flow
Experience Preferred:
Experience with automotive calibration tools like ATI Vision, Vector CANOE.

Education Required:
Bachelor's Degree

Additional Information:
HYBRID / 4 days per week in the office

Use MATLAB/Simulink/State flow to model feature functions and autogenerate quality c-code directly from the model
Develop and execute unit tests to fully verify the functionality of the software with respect to requirements.
Use issue management tools (JIRA) to manage and document software feature change requirements, emphasizing customer (SP&I, calibration, program) needs and timing considerations
Develop interface specifications for interfaces that cross functional boundaries including across organizations, subsystems and feature.
Participate in, and communicate with, cross-functional teams to optimize solutions weighing software complexity, tuneability, testability and OEM/Client SW modeling guidelines
