Technical expert focused on vehicle motion control and safety controllers, ensuring operational uptime and reliability of safety-critical ECUs and fleet.
Compensation
$75 – $78/hr on W2 (All inclusive)
Responsibilities
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for real-time escalations involving the vehicle's primary and backup motion-control units, including controller faults, unreachable or unresponsive controllers, and failed resets.
Conduct in-depth root cause analysis to implement both interim and permanent corrective actions on motion-control and safety-controller faults.
Diagnose and resolve complex issues across the primary motion controller's dual-processor architecture (compute and monitor processors) and the backup controller's takeover path, including fail-operational behavior and safe-stop (minimal-risk maneuver) execution.
Diagnose network and gateway faults in the motion-control domain, including CAN, CAN-to-Ethernet gateway communication, and bus error conditions that lock up or stale controller messaging.
Troubleshoot command and feedback paths between the primary compute and the motion-control units, and between those units and downstream ECUs (e.g., body, thermal, powertrain, and chassis controllers).
