Work on an innovation team with a global known automotive company as their Controls Engineer. Support vehicle dynamics control system HMI development within the Active Safety Controls Division. Work with a driving simulator that is meant to simulate as HMI; for that purpose the team has developed a controller for simulating the ADAS and HMI that’s associated with it.Responsibilities: • The controller runs on a dSPACE box with compiled Simulink models. The target is a compiled Simulink model. Another team member will be developing the controller algorithms offline. As the Controls Engineer, you will be taking those models, integrating them into the models are running the driving simulator in the real time environment. • Make sure the necessary dSPACE blocks are added, ensure all interfaces with the HMI and vehicle models are properly made and tune the controllers as necessary to ensure ADAS performance is realistic, smooth, etc. • Ethernet communication to a plant model. • Work with inputs coming from the plant model (vehicle, traffic, sensors and more). • Review ADAS function and HMI coop specifications• Interpret specifications for DILS application based on considered use cases.• Review desired use cases for DILS Test implementation.• Work with HMI designer to plan communication interface to HMI model, production or prototype HMI hardware.• Using CarMaker for Simulink Interface, develop offline ADAS controller model. • Working with scenario development specialist, tune and refine controller for identified use cases.• Implement communication interface to HMI devices. • Debug communication interface as needed with dSPACE or Vector tools as needed.• Setup/modify required I/O hardware and COM interface on dSPACE systems• Debug & Compile models for application to dSPACE RTC (Microautobox, ds1006 etc.)• Refine performance of controller model on the DILS• Parametrize controller model using DILS test use case specifications to allow for ADAS and HMI controller variants to be tested.• Support DILS testing of ADAS HMI to ensure smooth functioning of the system• Acquire and interpret specifications for relevant ADAS functions.• Develop Simulink based control schemes.• Test & refine control schemes in a SILS environment employing CarMaker vehicle models.• Develop HMI controller models and compile for dSPACE RT systems in the DILS environment.• Develop Control Desk interface for Test monitoring.• Integrate cockpit HMI hardware (displays, audible alarms, HUD, haptics etc.)• Interface HMI controller model to HMI using appropriate interface solutions.Required Skillset: • Overall knowledge and expertise of Simulink, how controllers work, how to model them using Simulink, how to compile them for dSPACE, how to add dSPACE blocks (RTI) and ethernet block associated with communication. • Understanding of how CAN works, preferable knowledge of CAN related tools such as CAN Analyzer, DVC+ and other vector tools.• Knowledge of HMI and integration to HMI that are running in CAN Z. • Knowledge of principles of Control Engineering.• Model development with Matlab, Simulink • Knowledge of CAN, Unity and ETH communication systems.• Familiarity with the use of CAN tools such as CANAnalyzer to monitor communication traffic.• Programming with structured and unstructured languages such as Python & C.• Understanding of the fundamentals of automotive mechanics, EEE is a plus• Familiarity with computer networking in a Windows environment desired.• Experience with the use of single board computers such as Raspberry Pi & microcontrollers such as the Arduino desired.• Willing and able to work overtime (average of 10% expected)• An advanced degree in a related field of engineering specialization.Bonus Skillset: • Calibrating controller’s environment experience for the last portion of tuning the system. • Understanding of the fundamentals of automotive mechanics, EEE is a plusDuration: 6-12+ months Location: Raymond, OH (onsite position)Type: Contract
