Senior Systems Integration Engineer, Brakes
On-siteFoster City, California, United States
Job Summary
Lead the design and controls development of a full brake system for an autonomous vehicle platform, authoring technical specifications and interface control documents. Develop integration and validation test plans to ensure optimal braking performance, safety, and efficiency, then plan and execute vehicle-level activities including hardware-in-the-loop testing and virtual verification. Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams to define requirements and ensure subsystems meet specifications. Participate in design reviews and supplier evaluations, while developing System FMEAs, diagnostic strategies, and fault reactions. Lead root cause analysis and issue resolution through data analysis and hardware investigations. Requires occasional domestic and international travel (~2 weeks per year).
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience in vehicle dynamics and control theory as applied to brake system design.
- Experience with brake system modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, or similar).
- Deep knowledge of developing automotive systems using model-based design processes.
- Deep knowledge of developing system and subsystem requirements, with proficiency in tools like IBM DOORS, Siemens Polarion, or similar.
- Knowledge of automotive electrical architectures, including communication protocols (CAN/LIN/Ethernet) and defining physical and functional interfaces.
- Knowledge of automotive diagnostics (UDS) routines and functional safety standards (ISO 26262).
- Experience developing System FMEAs and defining diagnostic strategies and fault reactions for safety-critical systems.
- Familiarity with vehicle-level integration and validation processes, including HIL testing and on-vehicle performance evaluation.
- Requires occasional domestic and international travel (~2 weeks per year).
Desired Qualifications
- Experience in Model Based System Design process.
- Experience in real-time embedded software architecture, e.g., AUTOSAR.
- Experience in advanced embedded software architecture, e.g., Linux.
- Experience with objective and subjective brake system evaluation criteria, including stopping distance, pedal feel, and thermal performance.
