Engineer - Controls Engineering

Job Summary

The Engineer Controls Engineering is responsible for design, development, and testing of control functions spanning across all locomotive subsystems with controls content. This position provides a unique opportunity to interact with all locomotive subsystems with controls content.

You will be part of Modular Control Architecture (MCA) software team. The MCA SW architecture is highly flexible, made up of many modular software, application, and hardware elements. While flexibility adds opportunity and capability, it also adds complexity, driving the importance of a robust platform SW and communication strategy. MCA is built on MBSE (Model Based System Engineering) principles for requirements management and test cases with full traceability built into the MBSE model.

Responsibilities

• Design Simulink control application architectures which are robust against expected configurability needs, thus limiting the impact through appropriate modularity and abstraction.
• Plan individual and sub team work for assigned projects and product features as input to integrated project plans
• Provide timely communications on significant issues or developments.
• Drive process improvements and simplification initiatives to improve quality and productivity.
• Support MIL and SIL capabilities and processes
• Ensure proper documentation of technical data generated for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics, Controls Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of hands-on MATLAB/Simulink control application software development using Model Based Design (MBD) methodologies
• Experience supporting cleansheet (cleanslate) product development preferred
• Proficiency with ETAS INCA, Data Distribution Service (DDS) and GitLab-based source repositories preferred
• Ability to support hands-on validation in simulation labs and on locomotive environments
• Provide timely communications on significant issues or developments
