Staff Engineer - Chassis Controls
Location: Australia
Role Description
We are vertically integrating all aspects of vehicle motion systems and control at 42dot, enabling innovation in next generation electric vehicles. As a Staff Vehicle Controls Engineer, you will design and implement advanced control features, contribute to system integration efforts, and collaborate closely with cross functional teams to deliver a tightly integrated, high performance vehicle motion experience.
Responsibilities
* Design and develop vehicle motion control features such as One Pedal Drive, Drive Modes, Traction Control, Torque Vectoring, and Vehicle Hold
* Contribute to the architecture and integration of control algorithms into production vehicle platforms
* Collaborate with Product Management, Systems Engineering, and Functional Safety teams to define and refine feature requirements
* Implement supervisory safety checks in alignment with functional safety goals
* Develop and execute test plans at the software, subsystem, and vehicle levels
* Support the development and use of simulation tools and integration test environments
* Participate in code reviews and contribute to the overall quality and robustness of the control software stack
* Work collaboratively across hardware, software, and validation teams to resolve issues and improve system performance
Qualifications
Required
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
* 10+ years of experience in vehicle controls, embedded systems, or motion control domains
* Experience developing high performance chassis systems such as torque vectoring, adaptive damping, or stability control
* Experience developing safety critical software stacks in compliance with automotive safety standards
* Solid understanding of control systems and real world implementation in automotive applications
* Strong knowledge and experience with software development (C/C++, Python, or MATLAB/Simulink) and real time embedded systems
* Familiarity with safety development frameworks such as ISO 26262
* Experience with integration and validation of software using HIL or vehicle level environments
Preferred
* Experience with safety critical systems and architectures
* Fundamental knowledge of communication protocols, including Ethernet, CAN, and PCIe
* Exposure to homologation, compliance workflows, or production software delivery
* Strong teamwork and communication skills in cross functional environments
