Engine Control - Engine System Safety Torque Security Subject Matter Expert

A Subject Matter Expert Controls Engineer expertise is a critical role within the Engine Control Product Release Center (PRC). This expert works with the Controls COE Manger, Controls Developers, Calibration community, Advanced and Production Requirements teams to ensure all requirements are delivered by the Controls COE team on time and with high quality meeting program requirements. This role provides technical leadership to the PRC controls developers in the proper implementation of the requirements, including controls assessments and prototype code delivery. The expert leads training in all aspects of the engine control development including assisting in Agile ceremonies. The Subject matter expert also provides feedback to the team on key process indicators (KPI), participates in agile ceremonies, including daily scrum standups, sprint planning and demo sessions.

• Implementation of the control algorithm in Matlab-Simulink, C, etc.

• Provide best-guess calibration dataset

• Pre-verification of the implementation, check of the requirements' compliance, through Model In The Loop (MIL) testing;

• Pre-verification of the generated code, through Software in the Loop (SIL) testing or specific tools able to monitor the consumption of software resources (e.g. VRAM, throughput)

• Generation of integrated proto code builds

• Verification of official code builds or proto code builds in the HIL lab or in the vehicle, using ETAS INCA tools;

• Analysis and response to the tracked issues

• Attendance to the main technical meetings, data analysis and issues' resolution

• Process documentation development

• Calibration community support
