VMC Development_3306

Job Summary:

The Vehicle Motion Controller Engineer designs, develops, and validates integrated control algorithms for longitudinal (acceleration/braking) and lateral (steering) vehicle dynamics. This role ensures seamless coordination between propulsion, braking, steering, and chassis systems to achieve optimal vehicle behavior, safety, and performance for both

human-driven and autonomous vehicles.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Control Algorithm Development

• Design and implement real-time control algorithms for

• Longitudinal control: torque management, braking coordination

(friction/regen blending).

• Lateral control: Steering assist and yaw stability control.

• Develop integrated vehicle motion control strategies to harmonize

longitudinal/lateral dynamics (e.g., during evasive maneuvers).

• Use model-based development (MBD) (MATLAB/Simulink) and auto-code

generation.

2. System Integration & Validation

• Integrate control software with vehicle ECUs (e.g., ESP, EPS, powertrain)

and ADAS/AD systems.

• Validate performance through simulation, test benches, road testing.

• Optimize control parameters for diverse scenarios (e.g., low friction, high-speed

cornering, failure modes…).

3. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with ADAS/autonomous driving teams to enable features for L3 systems.

• Collaborate with chassis, powertrain, and safety teams to ensure compliance

with ISO 26262 (ASIL) and regulatory standards.

• Support homologation and cybersecurity requirements.

4. Testing & Data Analysis

• Conduct vehicle dynamics testing with diverse driving maneuvers.

• Analyze data, Troubleshoot and refine control strategies based on test results.

Qualifications & Skills:

Technical Expertise:

• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++, Python, AUTOSAR.

• Strong grasp of vehicle dynamics (tire models, bicycle models, yaw stability).

• Experience with MBD, HIL testing, and calibration tools

• Ability to interpret vehicle dynamics data (e.g. understeer gradient, slip

angle).

Education: Bachelor’s/Master’s in Controls Engineering, vehicle engineering,

Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or Robotics.

Soft Skills:

• Problem-solving for complex multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems.

• Good communication skills
