Hiring Organization: Rose International
Position Number: 488437
Industry: Manufacturing
Job Title: Powertrain Controls Engineer
Job Location: Mossville, IL, USA, 61552
Work Model: Onsite
Shift: M-F first shift
Employment Type: Temporary
FT/PT: Full-Time
Estimated Duration (In months): 10
Min Hourly Rate($): 50.00
Max Hourly Rate($): 52.00
Must Have Skills/Attributes: Control Systems, MATLAB, Simulink
Experience Desired: Experience developing controls for electromechanical, transmission, hybrid, or powertrain systems. (5 yrs); Proven experience using MATLAB Simulink and Stateflow for designing control systems. (5 yrs)
Required Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree
Job Description
Education & Experience
Mandatory: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or equivalent Engineering.
Experience: 5+ years of directly related experience.
oException: With a Master's or PhD, 2+ years of related experience may be acceptable.
Internships: Are not counted toward the years of experience.
Typical Background: Candidates often come from the automotive industry with titles like Controls Engineer, provided they have relevant software and hands-on experience.
Top 3 Must-Have Skills
1.Model-Based Controls Development: Proven experience using MATLAB Simulink and Stateflow for designing control systems.
2.Virtual Product Development: Experience using simulation and models for testing and verification (e.g., Model-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop).
3.Hands-on Validation: Direct experience with development and testing in a lab, on a vehicle, or on a machine (e.g., Hardware-in-the-Loop, dyno testing, field testing).
Required:
Experience developing controls for electromechanical, transmission, hybrid, or powertrain systems.
Experience with control software development tools and processes (e.g., auto-coding, version control, requirements management).
Experience with CAN development tools (Vector CANape, CANalyzer, or ATI Vision).
Desired:
None explicitly listed, but experience with Ethernet-based tools, automation scripts, or specific HIL systems would be a plus.
Key Responsibilities
Requirements & Design: Translate high-level machine performance needs into detailed powertrain control system requirements.
Control System Development: Create reusable control features and algorithms for various system architectures using MATLAB Simulink and Stateflow.
Simulation & Testing: Use virtual development tools (simulation, models) to test, optimize, and verify system performance before physical prototyping.
Validation: Develop and validate control features through a V-model approach: simulation -> lab testing -> machine testing. This involves using CAN/Ethernet tools (e.g., Vector CANape, CANalyzer).
Analysis & Problem-Solving: Analyze data, perform root cause analysis on issues, and document control system functionality and performance.
Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional team members and process partners to ensure product quality.
Team & Work Environment
Team Size & Structure: A team of ~20 people with 4 team leads. This role reports directly to one of those team leads.
Interaction: A High level of frequent collaboration is expected.
Work Setting: Time will be split between an office (for design/simulation), a lab (for bench testing), and machine development environments (for field testing/validation).
Soft Skills Required:
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong technical leadership skills (ability to lead technical initiatives).
Strong communication skills (essential for frequent collaboration).
