Assignment Description

Our client in the automotive industry is now seeking a Software Engineer Motion Control – Longitudinal Vehicle Controls – Safety Controls.

They are building a computer-in-the-car architecture, a key for enabling innovation within areas such as Advanced Connectivity, Machine Learning, and Autonomous Drive. Their mission is to create a Vehicle Control Unit platform using new technologies in combination with more traditional car signalling technologies. Within the unit Safe Vehicle Automation (SVA) and the department Vehicle Motion Control (VMC), they create the most energy efficient and rewarding drive experience by passionate engineering. Within LVC (Longitudinal Vehicle Controls), they focus on balanced agility, energy efficiency, and drivability. The Safety Controls team is responsible for development of control algorithms for ensuring safe torque and power distribution, as well as balancing of attributes connected to longitudinal control. The team is responsible for system safety development and related diagnostic monitoring of propulsion and brake systems for hybrid and electrical vehicles. The delivery consists of software functionality that, amongst other, identifies inaccuracies, prevents critical events, and mitigates the effect of potential faults.

What you will do
They are looking to strengthen the teams with a Software Engineer with experience in Vehicle Control. As a Software Engineer for Longitudinal Vehicle Controls, you will become part of the Vehicle Motion Controls family.
