Job Description
Machine Control Engineer – R&D;
Location: Markaryd, Sweden
Be part of developing the future generation of heavy industrial trucks and join the exciting industry of non-road mobile machinery.
Industrial trucks combine a wide range of technologies, including powertrains, electric drives, energy storage, hydraulics, HMI, machine control, electronics and digitalization. You will work in a multidisciplinary and international engineering environment, contributing to the development and integration of control systems for our machines.
We are currently seeking a Machine Control Engineer to join our R&D; organization in Markaryd.
In this role, you will develop application software and control functions for mobile machinery, primarily using MATLAB/Simulink and Model-Based Design or “state of art” graphical development tools. You will work with embedded control systems, CAN communication and machine-level integration, taking functions from initial design and simulation through implementation, testing and validation on the machine.
The position is particularly suited to an early-career engineer with a background in Mechatronics, Electronics, Automation or Control Engineering, with a strong interest in embedded software and machine control.
Main tasks and responsibilities:
• Develop application software for machine control systems, primarily using MATLAB/Simulink and Model-Based Design methodologies or “state of art” graphical development tools;
• Design, implement and maintain control algorithms and machine functions for mobile machinery;
• Generate, integrate and test embedded application software for electronic control units;
• Develop and maintain software using relevant programming languages;
• Develop and maintain CAN-based communication between controllers, sensors, actuators and other electronic devices;
• Perform simulation, testing, debugging and validation of control functions, from model level to complete-machine testing;
• Integrate application software with electrical/electronic, hydraulic and mechanical systems;
• Analyze system behavior and troubleshoot software, communication and control-system issues;
• Participate in software and system design reviews and contribute to technical documentation;
• Cooperate closely with electrical, electronics, mechanical, hydraulic and software engineering teams throughout the product development process.
Additional tasks:
• Support specification and selection of electronic components and control devices;
• Perform system and component testing and contribute to test documentation;
• Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of electrical/electronic and control-system issues;
• Contribute to technical documentation, design reviews and engineering change activities;
• Support continuous improvement of machine control architectures, development methods and tools.
