Lead Software Tools Engineer

Job description:

WHAT TO EXPECT

We are looking for a Lead Software Tools Engineer that will be responsible for supporting the Propulsion Controls department with the development of propulsion calibration, simulation toolsets, processes, and procedures for streamlining calibration development, data analytics and improving working relationships with suppliers.

As a Lead Software Tools Engineer, you will possess the ability to future-proof the software using a forward-thinking approach and understanding the companywide vision is essential to maintaining/improving the current toolsets whilst developing new features & functions for a constantly changing environment.

Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities

* Developing desktop-based toolsets to import, visualize, check and improve data efficiency through the calibration teams
* Manage and utilize CAE data to create vehicle models that improve desktop calibrations, model-based engineering; altitude compensation/road load/vehicle acceleration/shift logic rulesets
* Manage shift quality/drivability analysis toolsets - creating events, metrics, and targets for common vehicle manoeuvres to ensure vehicles are meeting target-sets
* Manage the reporting of calibration, vehicle log and diagnostic data against targets/rulesets to create standardized reports that establish a robust image of the calibration quality
* Manage cloud data pipelines, storage, analysis, and visualization of test logs to ensure KPI's are visible at each stage of the development process
* Manage the conversion of desktop-based Matlab toolsets into desktop and cloud-based Python toolsets in-line with company/data analytics best practices to improve the speed and quality of data processing
* Support the vision for the future of data-driven engineering within propulsion controls - from the body of knowledge through to data analysis, visualization, and feedback for continuous improvement


WHAT YOU'LL NEED

You will possess experience and knowledge in transmission, hybrid calibration, controls and software development, powertrain driveline systems and controls. You will be responsible for the development of a desktop calibration application with a cloud-based backend performing big data scale processing and machine learning.

You will possess the ability to lead simulation, desktop, and cloud-based calibration activities internally and externally with major suppliers by using Matlab and Python-based toolsets.
