- Generating code from Stateflow models and carrying out verification and validation
- Contributing to troubleshooting of system-level issues
- Evaluating component alternatives during product development
- Supporting prototyping efforts with control logic integration
- Calibrating control parameters based on test data
- Documenting control logic, state machines, and calibration parameters
- Developing and maintaining automated test benches for validation
- Conducting root cause analysis on system-level failures
- Optimizing control strategies for energy efficiency
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Physics
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in control systems or embedded applications
- Basic knowledge of MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow
- Ability to leverage AI tools to enhance and support engineering work
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Familiarity with CAN bus communication protocols
- Knowledge of battery management systems or energy storage systems
