Lead Vehicle Controls Engineer

At Indigo Technologies we are changing the electric vehicle paradigm with our own class of ultra-efficient electric vehicles for ride hailing and gig economy use cases. The Indigo Flow provides the smoothest, roomiest and most affordable ride using patented robotic wheel technology. Our technology combines premium suspension, a spacious cabin and a low cost-per-mile ride allowing for a truly sustainable vehicle.

Indigo Technologies is looking for a talented engineer to implement closed-loop control algorithms for electric vehicle active suspension and drive systems. The candidate will work as part of the embedded software team and will collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to develop, simulate and test vehicle control systems. The ideal candidate will have 5 years of relevant experience with a strong practical and theoretical understanding of control theory and an understanding of vehicle dynamics. The candidate will work from our office in Woburn, Massachusetts, but open to hybrid/remote as well.

Responsibilities:

· Develop new and innovative solutions for optimizing vehicle performance and rider comfort under a variety of road and driving conditions.

· Plan, support execution of and analyze the results of vehicle tests to validate control features.

· Coordinate with other teams regarding vehicle control system considerations in the design of electrical and mechanical systems.

· Develop code in C to implement vehicle control algorithms, validate this code in the vehicle model and integrate the code into the vehicle firmware.

· Implement, test, and debug algorithms on the prototype vehicle.

· Develop design documentation and procedures for vehicle control systems.

· Follow established processes for design, documentation, validation and release of new features.

Necessary Requirements:

· Advanced degree (M.S. or higher) in electrical, mechanical or aerospace engineering

· More than five years of relevant work experience

· Solid understanding of modern and classical control theory, both theoretical and practical

· Some experience using a high-level programming language such as C or C

· Highly-preferred experience in structural mechanics, multibody dynamics and vehicle dynamics

· Highly-preferred experience in implementing and tuning active suspension systems

· Preferred experience developing software compliant to ISO 26262 and coding standards such as MISRA-C

· Excellent communication and organizational skills

· Experience in digital signal processing and control algorithm implementation and testing in digital systems

Additional (Would be nice to have) Qualifications:

· Knowledge of nonlinear control, stochastic system, robust control and optimal control theories

· Knowledge of state estimation techniques, MIMO control systems, and constraint-based control techniques.

· Preferred experience in using CarSim to simulate vehicle dynamic performance

· Proficiency in using Matlab and Simulink for analysis and simulation
