Controls Engineering Specialist – EH Brake‑by‑Wire Systems

We are seeking a Controls Engineering Specialist to lead the design, development, and integration of Electrohydraulic (EH) Brake by Wire systems for advanced machine platforms. This role is a technical leadership position focused on brake system controls, model-based software architecture, functional safety, AUTOSAR, and system level integration supporting autonomy, remote control, and advanced operator assist features. The successful candidate will play a key role in defining scalable brake by wire architectures, developing reusable control features, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and functional safety requirements across multiple machine platforms.

What you will do:

• Lead controls and software development for EH brake‑by‑wire and brake mechatronics systems across multiple machine applications using Model-Based Development and AUTOSAR.
• Define and own brake control system architecture, interfaces, and core functions to enable reuse and scalability.
• Develop and integrate embedded control algorithms for service brake torque control, arbitration, diagnostics, and state estimation.
• Collaborate with hardware, hydraulics, and software teams to align valve hardware, sensors, ECMs, and control logic.
• Support functional safety activities, including safety goal definition, hazard analysis, and alignment with ISO brake standards.
• Guide system behavior during fault conditions, degraded modes, and safe‑state operation.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers working in brake controls and mechatronics.
• Support validation, test planning, and machine‑level integration for production and pilot programs.
• Engage with autonomy, remote control, and advanced feature teams to support brake system requirements and interfaces.

  Degree Requirement:

  • BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related field.

  What skills you will have:

  • Analytical Thinking: Knowledge of techniques and tools that promote effective analysis; ability to determine the root cause of organizational problems and create alternative solutions that resolve these problems.
  • Communicating Complex Concepts: Knowledge of effective presentation tools and techniques to ensure clear understanding; ability to use summarization and simplification techniques to explain complex technical concepts in simple, clear language appropriate to the audience.
  • Problem Solving: Knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; ability to apply knowledge of problem solving appropriately to diverse situations.
  • Technology Advising: Knowledge of effective advisory methods and ability to provide valued information and advice to clients regarding products, technologies, services and solutions for a specific technology domain.
  • Conceptual Thinking: Knowledge of thinking and reasoning at a conceptual level; ability to identify the critical ideas and interdependencies among system elements that impact performance.
  • Embedded Systems: Knowledge of embedded systems and their applications; ability to develop embedded systems with varying levels of complexity to control the operations of the machine it is embedded within.
  • Requirements Analysis: Knowledge of tools, methods, and techniques of requirement analysis; ability to elicit, analyze and record required business functionality and non-functionality requirements to ensure the success of a system or software development project.

  Top candidates will also have:

  • Extensive experience in embedded control systems for mobile equipment or automotive applications.
  • Strong background in brake systems, EH hydraulics, or safety‑critical control systems.
  • Proven experience with control system architecture, modular software design, and system integration.
  • Experience working with functional safety concepts and regulatory brake requirements.
  • Ability to lead technical decisions across cross‑functional teams.
  • Experience developing software using Mode-Based approaches, including Matlab and Simulink
  • Experience deploying software using AUTOSAR tools and processes

  Additional Information:

  • This position requires the candidate to work full-time at the Mossville, IL office.
  • Domestic relocation assistance is available for this position.
  • Visa sponsorship is available for this position.
  • Travel is up to 10%
