## About the Role

* Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink for model-based software development
 * Experience developing, modifying, or restructuring model-based software
 * Understanding of MIL testing and simulation-based validation
 * Ability to work within a structured architecture and follow standardized modeling and I/O practices

Preferred Qualifications

 * Experience with AUTOSAR, particularly model-based AUTOSAR development
 * Familiarity with dSPACE tools and environments
 * Exposure to HIL testing or modifying HIL setups
 * Background in controls engineering with strong software modeling focus

Experience Level

 * Open to a range of experience levels
 * Team will include a mix of junior and senior engineers

## Description

We are seeking Model-Based Software Developers to support the restructuring and modernization of a large, complex software model. This role is focused on model-based software development rather than traditional controls engineering, though candidates with a controls background are welcome if they have strong model-based development experience.

The team is breaking down a large monolithic model into smaller, modular components, rebuilding libraries, and standardizing interfaces. This work is primarily performed in MATLAB/Simulink and represents the first phase of a broader software transformation effort supporting a high-visibility program., * Decompose large MATLAB/Simulink models into smaller, modular components using a defined mega-model architecture

 * Rebuild and standardize software libraries, including standardized inputs/outputs and interfaces
 * Implement model-based software within an AUTOSAR wrapper (model-based AUTOSAR)
 * Update and maintain unit tests and simulations as models are restructured
 * Perform and support MIL (Model-in-the-Loop) testing as models are broken into modular elements
 * Support simulation and testing activities using tools such as dSPACE, including limited HIL modification where applicable
 * Collaborate with the team to define testing strategies, focusing on how software should be tested within a model-based environment
