Job description

  • Develop prognostic features from concept through production deployment.
  • Build physics-informed machine learning models that combine first-principles physics with machine learning techniques.
  • Design prognostics and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) models for vehicle subsystems.
  • Convert predictive models into optimized C++ code for embedded vehicle systems.
  • Develop digital signal processing pipelines and time-series analytics for multi-sensor vehicle data.
  • Design and validate fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithms.
  • Apply statistical methods including causal inference, multivariate analysis, ANOVA, principal component analysis (PCA), clustering, neural networks, and Gaussian regression.
  • Support the complete development lifecycle from modeling and simulation through hardware validation and production deployment.
  • Collaborate with subject matter experts to develop diagnostics and prognostic algorithms for vehicle components and systems.
  • Process and analyze large-scale telemetry data using Python, SQL, Spark, Hadoop, and cloud platforms.
  • Utilize MATLAB, Simulink, and calibration tools to develop and optimize predictive algorithms.
  • Work cross-functionally to support successful implementation of production software.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 4+ years of experience applying statistical methods such as ANOVA, PCA, correspondence analysis, clustering, factor analysis, multivariate analysis, neural networks, causal inference, and Gaussian regression.
  • 3+ years of experience with Python and SQL.
  • Experience with C++ programming.
  • Experience with data science methodologies and cloud-based data platforms.
  • Experience with embedded controls, onboard diagnostics, sensor processing, and physics-based modeling.
  • Experience using numerical modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB and Simulink.
  • Experience with digital signal processing (DSP), data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.
  • Strong analytical, communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work in cross-functional teams. Preferred Qualifications

  • PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Experience in dynamic systems, controls, robotics, or prognostics and health management.
  • Experience developing automotive prognostics using connected vehicle data.
  • Experience applying machine learning methods including time-series forecasting, random forests, clustering, and neural networks.
  • Experience with Python, R, Spark, and Hadoop.
  • Experience developing embedded automotive software using MATLAB and C++.
  • Familiarity with ATI and ETAS calibration tools.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. What Makes HTC A Great Place To Build Your Future
