Principal Engineer - Steering Systems (EPS/SbW) Function Design and Tuning (m/f/d)

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative engineer with deep expertise in Steering and/or Steer-by-Wire (SbW) systems. You will lead the development, implementation, and optimization of advanced control strategies for next-generation steering systems.

The ideal candidate will have deep understanding and interest in modeling of Steering and/or SbW control strategies especially for highly automated vehicles, including stability and safety control based on Steering and/or SbW system. Your role in a multidisciplinary team requires collaboration with our global research and development community. Your will be working on future trends of technologies, architectures, requirements in Vehicle Steering Technologies.

Your mission 

• Research, develop, design and tune steering features e.g. steering feel characteristics to deliver an exceptional driving experience.

• Integrate Steering and/or SbW systems with vehicle dynamics controllers (brake, ADS/ADAS, VDC,..).

• Conduct vehicle-level testing and calibration to validate steering feel and system robustness.

• Utilize tools (e.g., Vector tools Canape, Canoe, dSpace, Matlab-Simulink) to model and verify system performance.

• Support functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity compliance for SbW systems.

• Contribute to HMI strategy, ensuring natural and intuitive driver interaction with digital steering.

Your areas of expertise

• Master’s or higher degree in Automotive Engineering Control Systems or a related field, with a focus on steering systems.
