Job Description
Experience level: Mid-senior Experience required: 3 Years Education level: Bachelors degree Job function: Engineering Industry: Automotive Compensation: View salary Total position: 2 Relocation assistance: Yes Visa : Only US citizens and Greencard holders
is the largest and most dependable manufacturer of Heavy-Duty Transit Buses in North America. Our customers are in all 50 states, and include cities, counties, transit districts, universities and major private fleet operators. We are headquartered in Livermore, CA.
offers an excellent compensation and benefits package including 100% company-paid premiums for medical, dental and vision for employees and their families. Other benefits include a unique 401k profit-sharing plan.
JOB SUMMARY
The Vehicle Controls Engineer II will be responsible for the development of the body controller algorithms for all of the GILLIG vehicles including the first in class zero emission bus. You will be challenged to develop unique solutions for various control problems from multiple domains including electrical, mechanical, and thermal. Assignments are broad in scope and highly complex that require outstanding creativity, superior initiative, good judgement, and leadership skill. This is a hands-on position.
TECHNICAL FOCUS
Body Control System
Low Voltage Sensors and Actuators
Vehicle Onboard Monitoring Systems
Vehicle Distributed Control Systems
Vehicle Control Communications Protocols
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Collaborate with cross functional teams to develop customized algorithms for various components and sub-systems on the bus
Develop functional requirements for the body controller, communication interfaces, diagnostics and fault detection for new vehicles
Participate in DFMEA to identify technical risks and adjust the controls logic in order to improve detection and reduce potential failures of the design
Bring up the prototype buses. This requires hands-on troubleshooting, testing, and data collecting to solve complex issues
Work with Validation team to develop test plans to ensure the design meet the program requirements
Work with Publication team to ensure the bus manuals complete and accurately reflect the designs
Perform other duties as required
REQUIREMENTS
Bachelors Degree in Engineering plus a minimum of 3 years of progressive engineering experience in vehicle controls development
Ability to diagnose and troubleshoot automotive electrical systems

Experienced with:
Ladder logic controls such as Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC
Software development using C/C++ or model development
Diagnosis and troubleshooting electrical systems using tool such as function generator, multimeter, oscilloscope, etc.
Opened and closed loop control systems for sensors, actuators, body controller, ECUs, etc.
Familiarity with:
Manufacturing processes and environment
Heavy-Duty vehicle
CAN-Bus, LIN, and Ethernet communication protocol
J1939/CAN tools such as CANalyzer, P-CAN, Kvaser, CANoe, CANApe, etc.
MATLAB, Simulink, and State flowchart
8D, five whys, and fishbone process to diagnose complex issues
Low voltage components such as circuit breakers, relays, and wiring, etc.
High voltage components such as DCDC, motor and inverter, Li battery, and high-power charger, etc.
Safety interlock loop
Industry standards such as FMVSSS, NHTSA, DOT, NFPA, SAE, NEC, etc.
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
Ability to lift up to 25 lbs.
Regularly required to sit, stand, and walk; occasionally kneel or squat
Limited domestic travel
Typical start time 6:00AM (Negotiable)
