Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Control Systems Engineer with a strong background in embedded software development and engine management systems for internal combustion engines (ICE), preferably gasoline and gas engines.

In this role, you will work with the development, integration and optimization of advanced engine control systems, focusing on software functionality, control algorithms and engine performance.

You will be involved in the complete development process, from requirements and control strategy development to software implementation, calibration and verification.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Develop and optimize engine control strategies for gasoline and gas engines.
• Design and implement control algorithms for engine management systems (EMS/ECU).
• Work with embedded software development, integration and verification of engine control functions.
• Develop and optimize functions related to fuel injection, ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, torque control and emissions.
• Perform system analysis, troubleshooting and calibration of engine control functions.
• Work with model-based development and simulation environments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams within software, calibration, testing and engine development.
• Support verification and validation activities in simulation environments, test benches and vehicles.

You will have the opportunity to work with complex control systems and contribute to the development of efficient and reliable powertrain solutions.

Who are you?

We believe you have a strong technical interest in control systems, embedded software and internal combustion engine technology.

You have a solid understanding of how engine management systems operate and how software and control algorithms influence engine performance, fuel efficiency and emissions.

You are analytical, solution-oriented and comfortable working with complex technical challenges.

We also believe you are curious, proactive and motivated by continuous learning and new technologies.

To succeed in this role, you have good communication skills, enjoy working in cross-functional teams and can take responsibility for your technical deliveries.

• Good understanding of engine management systems (EMS/ECU).
• Knowledge of gasoline engine control systems, preferably including gas-fueled engines (CNG/LNG/LPG).
• Experience with control algorithms related to fuel injection, ignition, combustion, air-fuel ratio and torque management.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development.
• Knowledge of embedded C/C and automotive software development.
• Experience with calibration and measurement tools such as ETAS INCA, CANape or similar.
• Understanding of CAN communication and automotive control architectures.
• Experience with requirements management, software integration and verification.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

Additional qualifications considered an advantage:

• Experience with gas engine control strategies and alternative gaseous fuels.
• Experience with engine calibration, emissions optimization and OBD diagnostics.
• Knowledge of AUTOSAR, ASPICE and automotive software development processes.
• Experience with MIL, SIL and HIL environments.
• Experience with engine test benches and vehicle-level validation.
• Knowledge of functional safety (ISO 26262).
