Engineer – Sr Controls

At Oshkosh, we build, serve and protect people and communities around the world by designing and manufacturing some of the toughest specialty trucks and access equipment. We employ over 18,000 team members all united by a common purpose. Our engineering and product innovation help keep soldiers and firefighters safe, is critical in building and keeping communities clean and helps people do their jobs every day.

The Engineer - Sr Controls team member will design, implement and test high-quality vehicle control subsystem software. The team member must be able to write embedded C/C++, Matlab autogenerated software to run on embedded platforms for vehicle systems through network messaging and directly connected inputs and outputs.

Controls work encompasses advanced control strategy development and verification for drivetrain systems, chassis/body controls, advanced suspensions systems, material handling systems, and other auxiliary systems for on-road and off-road applications. The team member will be an integral part of multiple projects and responsible for peer reviewing others software.
