About the Role:

We are seeking a hands-on engineer to develop production-grade engine management systems for advanced hydrogen and dual-fuel applications. The role focuses on designing, implementing, and validating safety-critical engine control software for real-time, embedded, and cloud-integrated environments.


Key Responsibilities

  • Implement, test, and maintain production software using C, Simulink, and auto-generated code, ensuring adherence to SSQA and industry standards.
  • Develop and optimize map-based fuel injection controllers with closed-loop algorithms.
  • Implement advanced diagnostics for sensor and actuator health, including fault detection and reporting.
  • Integrate ECU hardware into new and existing systems, collaborating with hardware and systems teams.
  • Design and maintain robust software architecture, state machines, and reliable RTOS-based kernel integration.
  • Conduct thorough verification and validation through unit, SIL, HIL, and in-vehicle testing.
  • Participate in the development of HMI and data interfaces for monitoring and performance analysis.

Must-Have Skills

  • Experience developing fuel injection or hybrid control software: map-based fueling, closed-loop control.
  • Strong programming background in C/C++ for embedded systems. Flexibility to work with other languages (Python, Rust, etc.) as required.
  • Hands-on expertise with ECU hardware selection and system integration.
  • Solid understanding of automotive or industrial diagnostics (OBD-II, J1939, etc.).
  • Familiarity with modern engine sensors, actuators, and combustion controls.

Preferred Skills

  • Deployment of consumer-grade or production-level engine control software.
  • Working knowledge of functional safety standards such as ISO 26262.
  • Model-based controller design, simulation, and HIL testing experience.
  • Experience with hydrogen or dual-fuel combustion systems is a strong plus.
