Job Summary:
This position is part of the CES Controls DEF Dosing VPI Team, focusing on System Level OBD Diagnostic Development. The role requires a deep understanding of failed part performance to create robust diagnostic designs, particularly in aftertreatment DEF dosing systems, including quality, level, and temperature sensors. Candidates should ideally have a background in the 8-step diagnostic concept generation and development, along with experience in emissions control features. Responsibilities include investigating product software issues, understanding causal mechanisms, recommending solutions, and documenting outcomes. The role involves collaboration with product and software development teams to deliver verified software features and components, making critical decisions that affect software quality and performance. Additionally, the candidate will review developer and tester work to ensure efficient and reusable designs, lead projects or complex components, and enhance work processes across a global business unit. Coordination with technicians and student employees is essential, as is providing guidance to influence technical direction within project teams. Proficiency in system software testing, system composer, and Simulink is required, along with prior experience as a Senior or Technical Engineer in a relevant field, demonstrating strong problem-solving and decision-making skills. Familiarity with MS Office tools is preferred.
In this role you will make an impact in the following ways:
Problem Investigation: Analyze product software problems, identify root causes, and recommend solutions. Own the resolution process and document outcomes.
Process Improvement: Apply and enhance software development processes, including coding, compiling, and testing. Utilize tools such as code editors, integration tools, static analysis tools, compilers, and hardware-in-the-loop testing tools.
Collaboration: Obtain input from and negotiate with product and software development teams to deliver verified software features, components, and builds.
Decision Making: Leverage systems knowledge to make informed decisions regarding software requirements, architecture, design, and testing that impact software quality and performance across product lines.
Mentorship: Review the work of less-experienced developers and testers to ensure robust, reusable, and efficient designs. Provide guidance and support to foster their development.
Project Leadership: Independently lead smaller projects or take ownership of complex components and systems, managing ambiguity and ensuring accountability to the project team.
Process Coordination: Coordinate and direct work among technicians and temporary student employees. Assist in knowledge transfer to less experienced engineers through direct or indirect management.
Technical Direction: Provide support and guidance to influence technical direction within project teams while continuing to develop proficiency in critical competency areas.
Specialization: Operate as a recognized specialist in a specific discipline or product area within the immediate team.
