Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop anti-pinch and obstruction detection algorithms for automotive powered closure systems.
- Develop model-based and sensor-fusion solutions using motor, position and sensor data.
- Create simulation models, control logic and adaptive algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink.
- Develop mathematical and physical models of DC/BLDC motors, gearboxes, transmission mechanisms, closure dynamics, latches, cinching systems, seals, friction, gravity loads and mechanical losses.
- Perform calibration, optimization and verification through MIL, SIL, HIL and vehicle testing.
- Improve algorithm robustness across environmental variations, ageing effects and manufacturing tolerances.
- Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, mechanical and validation teams.
- Support customer engagements, technical reviews and compliance activities related to ISO 26262 and ASPICE.
- Mentor team members and contribute to reusable algorithm platforms and engineering standards.
Education & Experience
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechatronics, Electronics & Communication, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Control Systems, Signal Processing or a related field.
- 8+ years of automotive engineering experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in anti-pinch algorithm development.
