Controls Engineer, Body Controls

We are seeking a dedicated and innovative Body Controls Engineer to join our team, focused on the Vehicle Management feature area. This role owns the development and integration of embedded software for vehicle-level body functions such as vehicle access, central locking, security, alarm, crash response, passive safety, occupant and child presence detection, AVAS/horn, trailer detection, and steering wheel/button interfaces, delivered as software modules on a zonal vehicle platform. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical, computer, or software engineering with a focus on automotive embedded systems, safety-relevant software, and vehicle-network integration.

- Architect and develop embedded control software for vehicle management features including robust state machines, arbitration logic, and vehicle-mode handling that coordinate multiple ECUs and features across the vehicle.

- Review requirements and produce high-level functional specification designs in collaboration with systems, integration, and platform partners.

- Own features end to end within a feature-focused development model.

- Integrate features on bench and vehicle across multiple ECUs and networks, resolve interface issues, and drive features to release readiness.

- Develop and maintain diagnostics and diagnostic interfaces to support troubleshooting, manufacturing, and service.

- Support safety analyses for ISO 26262 compliance, particularly for passive-safety and vehicle-access features.

- Validate features in Unit, SIL, HIL, and vehicle test environments; contribute to feature tuning and calibration; and triage field and fleet issues using vehicle data and logs.

- Use a multidisciplinary approach to troubleshoot functional problems in vehicles by addressing root causes across physical, electrical, network, and software domains.

- Prioritize and escalate issues based on user impact, safety relevance, and program objectives for prompt resolution.
