Uses engineering judgement, simulation, and test data to develop and specify software requirements, hardware requirements, calibration activities, and validation testing required for successful implementation of electromechanical hardware and control system technologies.
Performance testing and data collection is required to ensure that the systems meet the performance targets for the vehicle.
Responsible for translating vehicle-level requirements to system level specifications that accurately reflect the business needs.
Lead and enforce development process for functional safety using risk assessment tools, including hazard analysis and risk assessment (hara), failure modes and effects analysis (fmea) and track resultant tests and validation activities.
Identify and lead pre-development activities including concept development and rapid controls prototyping of new technologies and features.
Develop and specify fault reactions, control system diagnostics, and communication between controllers.
Oversees end-to-end calibration and development activities to ensure robust system design.
Interacts with and influences multiple engineering teams and disciplines in hardware design, electrical systems, interfacing controllers, manufacturing, service, and external suppliers.
Defines system level service and production line procedures required for new product introduction
Expected to provide feedback and identify issues with software and algorithm design.
Root-cause analysis and troubleshooting of controls and hardware systems.
Required education, skills & knowledge
Bs engineering degree in related field (mechanical, electrical, etc.) with 2+ years of vehicle testing and development related experience
Experience with testing, calibration of electromechanical systems, or data collection is required (power steering, engine controlled, brake systems, semi-active damping)
Automotive chassis calibration and development experience of power steering or other systems is a plus

Experience with calibration and development tools including vector, etas/inca, avl creta
Can read and understand software diagrams (matlab/simulink or other)
Solid understanding of how a control system and hardware are developed together to be functional
Experience working with complex vehicle systems with multiple integrated controllers
In depth knowledge and experience with controller area networks (can) and calibration communication protocols and tools
Demonstrated technical leadership and communication with cross-functional teams and multiple engineering disciplines is highly valued
Experience with data acquisition systems, electronics, harness fabrication, as well as various sensors needed to make engineering decisions or develop vehicle system models
Fundamental knowledge and experience in vehicle dynamics required
Knowledge of embedded control system development required
Hands-on experience with vehicle repair and maintenance is a plus
Working conditions
Some travel is required for vehicle development (~4 weeks annually depending on projects and timing)
Ability to drive off-road vehicles is required, extensive experience driving off-road vehicles, atv’s, snowmobiles, or motorcycles is a plus
Fast paced office environment
Wyoming, mn is the preferred working location, remote or other polaris locations will be evaluated as required
