WHAT YOU WILL DO

• End-2-end responsibility for the development of functions. This includes concept phase, specification, development, application, validation and approval as well as the product lifecycle after release
• Develop control functions for electrical drive trains like torque-, current-, flux- and direct torque control; parameter identification for electrical machines and drivetrains; optimization for use in embedded systems (e.g. memory and runtime)
• Focus on the customer-experience of the functionality and create specifications and algorithms starting from concept and prototype phase till volume production phase
• As the designer of the function and the underlying functional architecture, you do the validation of algorithms in various environments (e.g. simulation, test benches, vehicles)
• Management of development activities to achieve process goals: Automotive-SPICE, ISO 26262
• Utilize your network to collaborate efficiently across teams, handle conflict situations with confidence and can identify those in advance as well as contribute to determining appropriate solutions
