Algorithm Engineer

POSITION SUMMARY

As an algorithm engineer, you are the technical leader who owns direction, solves the hardest problems, and multiplies the impact of entire teams or departments. Set technical vision and high-level architecture for key systems or a product area, so many teams’ work fits together coherently over time. Act as the expert “sounding board” and escalation point when senior engineers hit issues they cannot resolve, becoming the final technical reviewer and fixer.

Bridge engineering and business strategy, helping executives choose which projects to prioritize and which approaches best support long-term goals.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Lead end-to-end algorithm development for brake and vehicle motion control systems (ESC, One-Box, Two-Box, EMB), from requirements to production deployment. Design and implement control algorithms for core functions (ABS, TCS, VDC, brake assist, stability control) with strong focus on vehicle dynamics performance. Develop and validate models using MATLAB/Simulink, including MIL/SIL, and support HIL and vehicle-level testing.

Define AUTOSAR-based software components (SW-Cs), interfaces, and calibration strategies; ensure smooth integration with embedded software. Drive algorithm calibration, tuning, and optimization through simulation and real-world vehicle testing (including winter/summer programs). Lead root-cause analysis and issue resolution during development, validation, and customer application phases.

Ensure compliance with ISO 26262 (up to ASIL-D), including safety concept implementation and monitoring strategies. Establish and scale best practices, reusable models, and algorithm libraries to enable platform-based development. Mentor engineers and act as a technical leader across cross-functional teams (systems, software, calibration, testing).

Track emerging trends (e.g., EMB, integrated motion control) and drive next-generation algorithm innovation.

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s or higher in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, Software, or related) 5+ years of experience in automotive brake system or vehicle dynamics control algorithm development Proven track record delivering production-level ESC / braking functions Strong expertise in vehicle dynamics and control theory Proficiency in: MATLAB/Simulink (modeling, simulation, validation) Target.

Link or Embedded Coder (production code generation) MIL / SIL / HIL validation workflows CAN tools (e.g., CANoe, CANalyzer) Working knowledge of AUTOSAR architecture and embedded systems integration Experience with functional safety (ISO 26262), preferably ASIL-D Background with leading Tier 1 suppliers or OEMs in the Detroit ecosystem Hands-on experience with EMB, integrated brake systems, or vehicle motion control.
