• Support the design and development of control algorithms for automotive applications (e.g., motor control, powertrain, thermal systems)
• Develop and simulate control models using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink
• Assist in implementing control algorithms in embedded C/C++ code
• Participate in model-based development (MBD) and auto-code generation workflows
• Conduct testing and validation activities, including MIL, SIL, and HIL testing
• Analyze system performance and support calibration and tuning of control parameters
• Work with hardware, systems, and software teams to ensure proper integration
• Troubleshoot issues, perform root cause analysis, and support corrective actions
• Document designs, test cases, and validation results
• Support compliance with automotive standards and processes

Why Join Us:

• Work on advanced automotive technologies including electrification and intelligent control systems
• Gain hands-on experience with real-world engineering challenges
• Collaborative environment with mentorship from experienced engineers
• Strong foundation for career growth in automotive controls and embedded systems
