Assignment Description

Our client in the automotive industry is currently seeking a Software Engineer to join their development team. In this role as a Developer, you will be part of a fast-paced team delivering state-of-the-art functionality and calibrations. You will utilize various software tools used for different parts of the development process and will be responsible for all phases of development—from design and implementation to vehicle testing and fine-tuning of functionality.

The Power Electronics Software department at our client’s organization is proud to be one of the most successful players in software development for Electric Vehicles. They deliver system solutions and software functionality for the Inverters in their electrified vehicles. Their vision is to deliver the best and most innovative functions to the market and continuously evolve their software platform.

The Motor Controls team is developing an in-house Electric Motor Control Application from the ground up. The core functionality of the software is to realize the requested electric machine torque in the most optimal way, given the current operating conditions. Because the software is being developed from the ground up in an embedded environment, the scope of the team is comparatively large, as it is responsible for the entire development chain: architectural structure, concept studies, development environment, functionality development, software verification (unit testing, MIL, SIL, HIL, and rig/dyno), documentation, and requirements review.

The team uses Simulink and code generation for application software, and direct C code for the lower-level code needed for the inverter drivers and communication. The way of working includes using Git and Gerrit with short iterations between implementation and team feedback.

Qualifications:

• Master of Science in Electrical Power Engineering / Power Electronics / Control Theory
• Expertise in electric machine controls (PMSM, IM, etc.)
• At least 5 years of full-time industry experience
• System safety competence (e.g., ASIL standards)
• Embedded software development experience
• Expert knowledge of MATLAB Simulink for controls development
• Familiarity with modern integrated development environments and debuggers
• Experience in other programming languages such as Python, C, C++
• Experience in calibration activities in test rigs and vehicles
• Knowledge of AUTOSAR structured architecture, workflows, and toolchains
• Advanced proficiency in the English language, with the ability to explain and understand complex solutions
• Holds a valid driver’s license

Desired Attributes:

• Passion for the development of complex mechatronic systems within vehicle electrification, electronics, and embedded systems.
• Enjoy driving engineering challenges from the business case and concept stage through to mass production.
• Senior experience within the Power Electronics field and a natural initiator committed to delivering the team’s objectives with high precision and quality.
• A team player who contributes to bringing out the best in fellow team members and actively works to expand their professional network.
