Develop control algorithms and software for vehicle motion control systems.

Define and document software development requirements based on system specifications and functional requirements.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, validation, system engineering) to ensure the successful integration of control software with hardware.

Perform testing of control software on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms to validate performance and robustness.

Conduct vehicle-level testing to ensure system functionality and performance under real-world conditions.

Troubleshoot and resolve software and system issues during development and testing phases.

Ensure compliance with relevant automotive standards and safety regulations during software development.

Participate in design reviews, peer reviews, and technical discussions to ensure software quality and system optimization.

Continuously monitor, analyze, and improve control algorithms to enhance system performance and efficiency.

Support the development of documentation, including test plans, reports, and technical manuals.
