* Job Description:

**** Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.
** When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other.  We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live.

Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

We are seeking a Control Systems Engineer for the EH Braking Systems Team. This individual will be responsible for the design, development, and validation of advanced electro‐hydraulic (EH) braking control systems, including EH brake overlays and brake‐by‐wire architectures. This role provides technical leadership in developing scalable, safety‐compliant brake software and controls that enable advanced machine features, automation, and autonomy across multiple platforms.  

The position works closely with brake mechatronics, hydraulic system design, machine systems software, and functional safety teams to define and implement robust braking architectures and reusable control strategies that meet regulatory, performance, and autonomy requirements. The successful candidate will develop software in the Caterpillar integrated environment, including Model-Based System Development via Matlab/Simulink and AUTOSAR to support end-to-end compliance and quality.

* What You Will Do:

*** Develop of EH brake and brake‐by‐wire control algorithms, including service brake control, diagnostics, fault handling, and system state management.
* Use industry-standard tools, such as Matlab, Simulink, and AUTOSAR tools, to develop embedded control algorithms for service brake torque control, arbitration, diagnostics, and state estimation
* Implement scalable brake control architectures that support multiple machine platforms while allowing platform‐specific variation.  + Develop controls to enable advanced braking features, such as anti‐lock braking (ABS), traction control, retarding control, hill start, shift braking, collision mitigation, and autonomy-related features.
* Support brake controls interfaces between machine systems, autonomy/assist features, and brake mechatronics, ensuring consistent and well‐documented interfaces.
* Provide support for functional safety‐related braking software, including support of ISO 19014, ISO 13849, and ISO 3450 requirements.
* Collaborate with hydraulic, electrical, and hardware teams on valve selection, redundancy concepts, ECM allocation, and diagnostic coverage.
* Support system integration, machine validation, and issue resolution for EH brake systems in development and production.
* Collaborate with hardware, hydraulics, and software teams to align valve hardware, sensors, ECMs, and control logic.
* Support functional safety via ISO 19014, including safety goal definition, hazard analysis, and alignment with ISO brake standards.
** What You Will Work On:
*** Foundational EH brake architectures that enable automation‐ready and autonomy‐ready machines.
* Reusable brake control software that reduces development cost while improving consistency across platforms.
* Advanced braking features that improve machine safety, cont rollability, and performance for both manned and unmanned operation.
** Degree Requirement:
*** BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related field.
** What

You Will Have:

*** Problem Solving:
Knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; ability to apply knowledge of problem solving appropriately to diverse situations.
* Embedded Systems:
Knowledge of embedded systems and their applications; ability to develop embedded systems with varying levels of complexity to control the operations of the machine it is embedded within.
* Technical Troubleshooting:
