System Function Design

Job Description: Develop advanced control concepts and functionalities for Heavy Duty Diesel engine/powertrain systems, with a focus on engine, aftertreatment, emission control and diagnostic functions. Translate new emission, OBD and product requirements into robust and implementable control strategies and functionalities. Take charge in the development of emission-related controls and OBD / OBM concepts, including the definition, specification and alignment of system and controller requirements.

Share Engine, Aftertreatment and OBD expertise with group and support creating vision for future concepts. Develop and integrate control concepts using development environments such as SIL, HIL and Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP), including testing on engine and vehicle level where applicable. Play a key role as a technical integrator between suppliers and PACCAR internal stakeholders to develop the control concepts, ensuring alignment between requirements, controls, software implementation, calibration and system-level behavior.

Verify and validate control functionalities using SIL, HIL, RCP, engine and/or vehicle testing as applicable. Create and maintain unambiguous documentation of controller requirements on engine/aftertreatment system level. Support calibration engineers with the initial calibration of newly developed and integrated control functionalities. Support software implementation, object-code generation, integration and maintenance where required. Take initiative to constantly improve related tools and processes.

Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary project teams, working across controls, software, calibration, diagnostics and system engineering disciplines.

Job Profile: MSc degree in Automotive or Mechanical Engineering specialized in dynamics and control. Experience with engine and after treatment controller development, especially on EU and NA emission and OBD regulations. Experience on Six Sigma related processes (i.e. DMAIC, Design For Six Sigma, FMEA, Monte Carlo). Good knowledge of requirement engineering (IREB certificate is a pre). Knowledge of development process models like SPICE is a pre.

Testing experience on SIL, HIL environment and RCP on an engine is a pre. Extensive knowledge of Matlab and Simulink. Doors Next Generation experience is a pre. This person has the following competences: Initiative, Cooperating, Good communication skills, Creative, Attention to details, Perseverance. Good English skills are mandatory and Dutch skills are a pre.
