This includes participating in the AVD process, establishing vehicle level and subsystem requirements. Then following that project through protype builds, integrating the vehicle and then launching a new vehicle program.

The Role

The Chassis Controls Performance Engineer has responsibility for the leading development and tuning direction of the Chassis Controls System for a given vehicle, vehicle platform and involvement across the particular architecture. Chassis Controls includes the anti-lock braking system (ABS), the Traction Control System, the Yaw Stability Control System (Stabilitrack), All Wheel Drive or 4 Wheel Drive controls, and Vehicle Mode Controls.

What You'll Do

You'll be responsible to define performance requirements, and lead the integration of the controls with the HiL, vehicle hardware and software to achieve these requirements. This includes some or all of the following specific tasks:

• Develop vehicle level implementation ofchassis control subsystems- anti-lock brakes (ABS), Traction Control, Stability Control Systems (yaw stability), All Wheel Drive or 4 Wheel Drive controls.
