Engineering Specialist - Braking Software Controls

We are looking for a talented Engineering Specialist to join our team specialising in Braking Software Controls for our Cummins Drivetrain & Braking Systems Business Unit in Cwmbran, Wales, United Kingdom. In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

• Innovative System Design: Develop and design control systems for electronic braking systems and other mechatronics, electro-pneumatic and electrical smart systems, considering the integration of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and pneumatic components.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with electronics, mechatronics, mechanical, and functional safety teams to define system requirements and functionality.
• Precision Control Algorithms: Write custom control logic and algorithms to achieve precise control and optimise performance optimisation.
• Simulation and Validation: Utilise simulation tools to create mathematical models for real-time testing and validation of control strategies, tuning parameters, and safety measures, refining algorithms as needed.
• Safety Compliance: Ensure all software and systems comply with safety standards like ISO 26262, perform risk assessments and implement necessary safety protocols.
• Comprehensive Testing: Conduct MIL (model in the loop), SIL (Software in the loop), and support HIL (hardware in the loop) testing, along with vehicle-level validation, to ensure control systems meet performance and quality standards.
• Technical Problem Solving: Diagnose and resolve technical issues in electro-mechanical and electro-pneumatic systems, developing maintenance procedures and schedules to ensure system reliability.
• Detailed Documentation: Create comprehensive technical documentation, including system schematics, wiring diagrams, and user manuals, to support system implementation and maintenance., To be successful in this role you will need the following
  
  Exceptional Problem-Solving and Troubleshooting Skills: Ability to identify causes of product issues, implement data-driven solutions, and ensure customer protection.
• Mechanical Design Proficiency: In-depth knowledge of mechanical systems to create innovative and robust design concepts that meet lifecycle requirements and customer expectations.
• Expertise in Electronics and Electro-Pneumatic Components: A solid understanding of these components and the product development processes.
• Knowledge of Safety Standards: Familiarity with relevant safety standards and regulations in the product industry., Extensive experience designing and programming control systems for with mechatronics, electro-pneumatic, and electrical systems, including motors and linear actuators, with a strong foundation in custom control logic and algorithms.
• Significant experience designing and development of Braking controls software (EBS, ABS, ASR/TCS/DTC, ESC/ESP).
• Simulation and Programming: Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, C, C++, and Python.
• Vehicle Dynamics Plant Modelling: Skilled in using SimScape, TruckSim, and TruckMaker.
• Software Development: Experience in both rapid prototype (concept to validation) and production software development (SYS-SW lifecycle) is desirable.
