Position: Staff EPAS System Integration Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and motivated EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted Steering) Integration Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be responsible for the integration, calibration, and validation of EPAS systems in various vehicle platforms. You will work closely with cross‑functional teams to ensure that the EPAS system meets performance, safety, and regulatory requirements while delivering an exceptional, best‑in‑class driving experience.

What

you’ll do
  • System Integration:
    Integrate EPAS hardware and software components into vehicle platforms.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software teams to ensure seamless system integration.
  • Software and Controls Development:
    Contribute to the development and enhancement of control algorithms for EPAS systems and ensure the control software is properly calibrated and tuned for various vehicle dynamics.
  • Design:
    Work with design and development engineers throughout the engineering organization to ensure steering functions and components have appropriate requirements and interface definitions.
  • Functional Safety:
    Participate in functional safety and failure avoidance analysis of complex electrical and software vehicle subsystems (HARA, FMEAs, etc.).
  • Calibration and Tuning:
    Develop and refine calibration parameters for optimal EPAS performance across different driving conditions and vehicle types; adjust assist curves, feedback torque, and other parameters to balance driver comfort and vehicle handling.
  • Verification:
    Create and own steering HIL test setups to bench test firmware, seeking bugs and regressions. Proficient with D‑space, Vector HIL, CAPL, and Python scripting.
  • Testing and Validation:
    Design and execute comprehensive test plans for EPAS systems, including lab‑based and on‑road testing; analyze data to identify performance issues and develop solutions.
  • Cross‑Functional

    Collaboration:

    Work closely with vehicle dynamics, safety, and ADAS teams to ensure EPAS integration aligns with overall vehicle performance goals and participate in design reviews.
  • Compliance and Safety:
    Ensure that EPAS systems meet all relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements; develop and implement fail‑safe strategies to maintain basic steering capabilities in case of system failures and participate in prototype vehicle training.
  • Continuous Improvement:
    Stay updated with the latest advancements in EPAS technology and integrate innovative solutions into the system; propose and implement improvements to enhance reliability, performance, and user experience.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
    Write system requirements, document all integration and calibration processes, test results, and system configurations; prepare technical reports and present findings to stakeholders and management.
You’ll have
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Embedded Systems
  • Strong electrical and embedded systems engineering fundamentals
  • 3+ years of experience in automotive engineering with a focus on EPAS systems
  • Proven experience in integrating and calibrating EPAS or similar automotive control systems
  • 5+ years of experience with vehicle network protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet
  • Proficiency in using calibration tools and software (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, CANalyzer)
  • Experience and working knowledge of systems development, vehicle architecture, emerging chassis system technologies, software/hardware tool development, brakes and steering system calibration, functional safety, network and diagnostics processes
  • 5+ years of experience designing and developing safety‑critical architectures
  • 3+ years of experience using embedded networking interface tools for automotive, aerospace, or similar applications
  • 5+ years of experience designing and launching new embedded products from concept to production
  • Excellent problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
  • Strong communication and teamwork abilities
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment
  • Willingness to travel for testing and collaboration with other teams
  • Valid driver’s license and the ability to drive test vehicles
Even better, you may have
  • M.S. in Electrical Engineering,…
