Principal Engineer - Brake Systems (EHB/BbW) Function Design and Tuning (m/f/d)

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative engineer with deep expertise in Braking and/or Brake-by-Wire (BbW) systems. You will lead the development, implementation, and calibration of advanced control strategies for next-generation braking systems.

The ideal candidate will have deep understanding and interest in modeling of Braking and/or BbW control strategies especially for highly automated vehicles, including stability and safety control based on Braking and/or BbW system. Your role in a multidisciplinary team requires collaboration with our global research and development community. Your will be working on future trends of technologies, architectures, requirements in Vehicle Braking Technologies.

Your mission

• Research, develop, design and tune braking features e.g. model brake pedal feel characteristics, calibrate slip and stability control systems to deliver an exceptional driving experience.

• Integrate Braking and/or BbW systems with other chassis control system (E-Motor, ADS/ADAS, SbW,..).

• Conduct vehicle-level testing and calibration to validate braking performance, vehicle stability, and system robustness.

• Utilize tools (e.g., Vector tools Canape, Canoe, dSpace, Matlab-Simulink, C++ Coding, VBox, NCode) to model and verify system performance.

• Support functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity compliance for BbW systems.

• Contribute to innovating driver interaction with the brake system interface by proposing new EHB/BbW features and functions (e.g., drift mode, donut mode).

Your areas of expertise

• Master’s or higher degree in Automotive Engineering Control Systems or a related field, with a focus on braking systems.

• 10+ years of experience in design control systems for Braking and/or BbW or related chassis systems. Deep understanding of vehicle dynamics principles, kinematics, and control theory.

• Proven expertise in designing and deploying control algorithms for Braking and/or BbW or autonomous driving systems.

• Proven expertise in tuning longitudinal and lateral slip controllers within braking and stability subsystems. Skilled in developing calibration strategies to customize vehicle dynamics responses across different drive modes.

• Strong communication capabilities. Ability to make the planned deliverables happen under pressure.

• Enthusiastic to work as part of our international team and fluent communication skills in English.

• Willing to travel to China (about 20% of time).
