Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• The Traction & Auxiliary Controls Engineer will execute detailed control system design to meet business goals and program commitments using standard design processes.
• The Traction & Auxiliary Controls Engineer will focus on the hardware integration for diesel electric, battery electric and hybrid diesel-battery locomotives. Support the evaluation and conceptualization of new control technology applications, own new control function development, execute design validation/testing for product enhancements and NPI programs.
• Integrate control system modules with component hardware (propulsion batteries, DC/AC inverters, AC/AC convertors, motors, alternators, rectifiers) and other sub-systems (diesel engine, engine cooling, engine control, compressed air, ventilation) to meet performance, application, and platform functional requirements.
• The Design Engineer (DE) will utilize subsystem domain expertise and design experience to solve control system problems by developing and implementing design changes in line with short-term and long-term business goals.
• In this role, DE will execute control system design and development for locomotive Traction & Auxiliary features including function definition, requirements derivation, dynamic analysis, failure modes analysis, design trade-offs, implementation, and validation.
• Perform control design validation utilizing desktop simulation/modelling test tools, integrated model/software testing using virtual simulators, integrated model/software/electronics hardware testing using full operability HITL (hardware in the loop) simulators, locomotive validation testing, customer acceptance testing, and field in-service testing.
• Partner with other subsystems/systems and function in defect investigation, root-cause identification, and resolution of control system reliability issues.
• Collaborate with Lead and Senior Traction & Auxiliary Control Engineers, systems engineering, program management, commercial teams, simulation, software, and hardware teams in the application of advanced controls techniques/methods/tools to meet emerging requirements.

Who can apply

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Power electronics Engineering discipline
• Demonstrated project experience in control engineering developments.
• Willing/able to support execution of hardware in the loop (HiTL) simulations and on-locomotive testing & validation.
• Ability and willingness to travel as required.
• Desired Characteristics
• Experience with DOORS or similar requirements definition methods/tools and control model auto-coding for high speed, closed-loop real-time control.
• Experience with system level validation testing
• Experience with transportation/locomotive auxiliary or traction equipment, systems, control, diagnostics, electric vehicle/hybrid power applications, design, or test
• Firsthand/Working knowledge of rotating electric machines (alternators or motors), rectifiers/inverters/convertors, power electronics, electric vehicle/hybrid propulsion battery technology.
• Working knowledge of Matlab/Simulink
