Position Overview

The AES Group Inc. is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer II for one of our clients in the heavy-equipment industry. This role supports the development, enhancement, documentation, validation, and maintenance of embedded engine-control and aftertreatment software.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow, along with strong technical documentation and cross-functional communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded engine-control and aftertreatment software strategies.
• Create control logic, software models, flow diagrams, and architectures using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
• Support concept development, implementation, validation, documentation, release, and production support.
• Troubleshoot existing production software and implement continuous improvements.
• Prepare technical documentation, engineering diagrams, flowcharts, and ISO-aligned design documents.
• Collaborate with software developers, systems engineers, validation teams, and other engineering stakeholders.
• Lead technical discussions to gather requirements and develop practical software solutions.
• Analyze engine-test data and support software-related troubleshooting.
• Review HIL and SIL validation results and work with validation engineers to resolve issues.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Two to four years of full-time industrial embedded software development experience.
• Hands-on experience with MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
• Experience developing or maintaining embedded control software for production systems.
• Strong understanding of the embedded software development lifecycle.
• Experience in creating technical documentation, engineering diagrams, and flowcharts.
• Strong written, verbal, analytical, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in automotive, heavy equipment, aerospace, industrial automation, or embedded systems.
• Knowledge of diesel engine controls or aftertreatment systems.
• Familiarity with Hardware-in-the-Loop and Software-in-the-Loop testing.
• Exposure to Embedded C or C++.
• Experience supporting software validation and interpreting test results.

Work Environment

The position is approximately 90% office-based, with occasional interaction in engine-testing laboratories. Engineers primarily review test results electronically and support software strategy development. Standard personal protective equipment may be required when entering laboratory areas.

Core Skills and Tools

• Embedded software development
• MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow
• Engine-control software
• HIL and SIL testing
• Technical documentation
