Key Responsibilities

• software development
• control strategy
• modeling tools
• simulation testing
• project management
• mentorship

Tasks

-Support proposal development with regards to acquiring appropriate funding for various advanced control development efforts. -May be responsible for managing multiple priorities. -Provide support and insight to engineering design teams as needed based on expertise. -Responsible for completion of a project or part of a project of moderate complexity on time. -Performs more complex software development, architecture design, engineering calculations, investigations, and tasks as assigned according to Oshkosh as well as general industry engineering standards and processes. -Responsible for preparation and delivery of plans, designs, computation methods, and/or reporting. -Decision-Making: Regularly makes significant decisions and final results, typically affecting the entire department. Available guides or precedents are limited. Has authority over the allocation of resources. -Provide guidance or mentorship to entry level engineers working on common projects. -Utilize model-based software tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, TargetLink, etc.; write embedded C and/or C++ software to configure and control hardware and provide API’s for application code. -Establish requirements (resources, equipment, estimates, test plans, and milestones) according to the needs of a project. -Assist feasibility studies and project estimates (man power, budget development, timelines...) on proposed projects. -Research, create, and update standard engineering methodology and procedures - best practices, etc. -Utilization of these design tools will be for the development of active safety, advanced driver assistance systems and unmanned ground vehicle technologies for Oshkosh products. -Collaborate as needed with other engineering or business support disciplines internally as well as suppliers externally. -Responsible for developing control strategies in a virtual simulation environment using modeling tools (such as ADAMS, MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, EASY 5 etc.) or hardware-in-the-loop simulators and transferring simulated strategies to vehicle testing and eventual production implementation. -Responsible for advanced vehicle system controls research, development, verification and validation, testing and production implementation. -May be responsible for overall project schedule and budget. -Supervisory/Managerial: General instructing, scheduling, and reviewing the work of others performing the same or directly related work. Acts as “lead worker”. -Internal Contacts: Contact with peers and others involving explanation of information (these contacts may be within or outside department or division), and the gathering of factual information; may include the communication of sensitive or confidential information. -Work with internal and external (industry consortiums, universities...) project teams on advanced control development efforts.
