Overview In this role you will design and implement body controls firmware for vehicle systems, from prototype bring-up to production. You will work with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable control software for seats, closures, lighting, and other small motors, aligning with safety and performance goals. You'll develop control and estimation algorithms, participate in functional safety analyses, and drive test planning and automation for unit, SIL, and HIL tests. This position offers hands-on hardware bring-up, cross-team collaboration, and impact across vehicle domains.
