About us
We are a Belgian engineering consulting firm that assists SMEs and large industrial organizations in bringing their innovation and R&D initiatives to life.
Job Description
• You will join a team of more or less 30 control strategy- and modeling experts that develop the controls software for our hybrid DCT transmission family.
• The controls team works according to the agile scrum methodology under the guidance of a scrum master and product owner.
• The controls software is developed according to our Model Based Development process (V-cycle) with Simulink. You will be involved in every step of the software development Vcycle, i.e. defining the requirements (in alignment with the customer), designing the control strategies, implementing them in Simulink, verifying and validating them on different platforms (MiL, HiL, test bench, vehicle).
• As DCT Controls Engineer – Driving Strategies & Coordination you will work on the layer of our software that interfaces with the Powertrain Control Unit to decide when & how to shift gears, and how to sequence the different actions of the different components of the gearbox.
• You will design and verify the control strategies first in a simulation environment, and then also validate them on our test vehicles.
• You will work closely together with the customer and our calibration engineers to optimize the driveability of the vehicles.
Required qualifications
• Master in the field of Automotive, Mechatronics, Systems, Controls, Computer or Electrical Engineering.
• Looking for both juniors profiles directly from university as for people with relevant experience.
• Good knowledge about transmissions in general, including hybrid functions (e.g. electric/hybrid drive, e-creep, electric engine restart, etc.)
• Good understanding about system/powertrain dynamics (e.g. transmission shifting dynamics)
• Excellent knowledge of Matlab/Simulink, particularly Stateflow
• You have relevant experience with test bench setups and vehicle level testing
• You have basic knowledge of an embedded system environment.
• You proceed according to a good methodology in development and problem solving.
• You are well organized, you have strong analytical and communication skills.
• You are an excellent team player with a positive mindset and a can-do attitude.
