Requisition Summary

The ADAS CSO will serve as the primary technical owner of specific ADAS control systems (e.g., camera ECUs, radar ECUs, perception modules, domain controllers) and will collaborate closely with System Owners, EE Architecture, PACCAR Electronics, suppliers, validation teams, Vehicle Integration, and Manufacturing. Hiring level will be commensurate with experience and skills.

• Serve as the accountable owner for the assigned ADAS ECU/control system, covering hardware, base software, application software, diagnostics, and lifecycle performance.
• Maintain knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and installation constraints to ensure robust ECU design and integration.
• Develop, maintain, and align ECU‑level technical requirement specifications (functional, safety, cybersecurity, architecture) with system‑level ADAS feature intent and customer use cases.
• Contribute to program‑level Product Description Book (PDB) content by identifying capabilities, constraints, and customer impacts.
• Ensure requirements and communication interfaces are consistent with System Owners, Product Planning, and EE Architecture teams.
• Lead all technical engagement with the ECU supplier, including requirements alignment, development oversight, maturity reviews, and software readiness.
• Author and maintain Technical Process Requirements Specifications (TPRS) outlining supplier expectations, tool chains, and RASIC roles.
• Monitor supplier technology roadmaps and guide forward‑looking improvements for future programs.
• Lead ECU validation through DVP&R planning, sample coordination, HIL and on‑vehicle testing, and defect resolution.
• Track software timing, maturity, risks, and integration readiness across programs.
• Ensure ECU‑related issues are identified, managed, and closed using PACCAR’s issue‑tracking processes.
• Communicate development status, risks, validation progress, and release readiness to program and technical leadership.
• Support pilot builds, production release activities (ECNs, REIs, PPAP), and resolve manufacturing or field issues related to ECU performance.
• Provide technical guidance to manufacturing, service, and field teams regarding ECU operation, diagnostics, and integration behaviors.
• Create or contribute to service and diagnostic documentation ensuring programming, serviceability, and troubleshooting meet PACCAR standards.
• Some travel will be required.
• Coordinates and completes projects and design efforts with other engineering groups and departments within the Company.
• Provide engineering assistance, perform problem resolution, training and other engineering duties supporting various aspects of heavy truck production.
• Follow software defect resolution life cycle for internal and external owners and bring them to a closure.
• Completes design projects and manufacturing process changes from planning, calculation and design analysis, design, testing, evaluation and implementation necessary for successful completion.
• Prepares engineering activity status reports and other detailed reporting as directed.
• Up to 5% travel may be required.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or electrical engineering or related field.
• 7+ years of Relevant Experience
• New graduate to experienced level candidates are encouraged to apply.

• Familiarity with systems engineering principles for electronics and software development, including the systems V model, agile methods, functional safety/cybersecurity, ASPICE, SOTIF, and integration planning and execution.
• Working knowledge of ADAS sensors, perception systems, ECU functionality, and related diagnostics/validation methods (e.g., DVP&R, HIL, automated testing).
• Strong understanding of vehicle communication networks (J1939, CAN, automotive Ethernet) and ability to interpret electrical schematics, harness interfaces, connector pinouts, and power/grounding requirements.
• Awareness of mechanical packaging considerations such as mounting, thermal constraints, field of view, and vibration.
• Knowledge on Heavy duty and Medium duty Commercial trucks
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, and system integration domains.
