Role summary
Join a world leader in automotive technology. As an application engineer in our Active Safety team, you will play
a pivotal role in the development & calibration of cutting-edge safety systems like ABS, ESP & new-generation
braking systems like Integrated Power Brake® & iBooster® on new prototype vehicle platforms. You will work
on a diverse range of automobiles, including combustion engines vehicles, hybrids & EVs in both passenger &
commercial vehicle segments, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety & performance. This is a
hands-on role for an engineer who is passionate about vehicle performance calibration, vehicle dynamics &
shaping the future of mobility.
Responsibilities
- System Calibration & Performance: Understanding system requirements, calibrate, test, & evaluate
algorithms in control systems installed on prototype vehicles to meet the Company, customer, & legal standards.
- Vehicle Validation: Conduct comprehensive vehicle performance tests in various environments (summer &
winter proving grounds) & analyze results to optimize & validate system behavior.
- Customer Engagement: Act as a key technical contact for customers, understanding their requirements
providing expert support, & ensuring successful project delivery.
- Technical Problem-Solving: Diagnose & troubleshoot complex in-vehicle issues related to hardware
software, & data acquisition systems during the entire development cycle.
- Cross-Functional Support: Collaborate with internal & external teams to support project acquisition & other
technical activities, ensuring adherence to all development & quality processes.
Requirements
- Engineering graduate/postgraduate with 3+ years of experience in the automotive engineering domain
- Basic understanding of programming languages- C & C++.
- Experience in hydraulic brake system development.
- Passenger car driving license with 3+ years of driving experience.
- Strong social skills– active listening, relationship management, effective oral & written communication (in
English), positive engagement with cross-functional teams & clients.
- Good analytical & logical reasoning with a problem-solving mindset.
