Company

hirify.global develops automotive products and technologies guided by a vision of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion.

What you will do

• Lead end-to-end architecture for chassis motion control systems across embedded platforms, virtual platforms, domain ECUs, infrastructure vECUs, and plant models.
• Define reusable, domain-agnostic SIL/CoSim architecture patterns and coordinate plant models, behavioral ECUs, activation flows, diagnostics, and supplier assets.
• Own SnA and system-physics plant-model infrastructure for L3 CoSim, including packaging, versioning, automated checks, CI/CD integration, and reuse across domains.
• Own service and profile activation infrastructure, infrastructure vECUs, NPCR flows, and tooling for SDV services in CoSim/SOLE.
• Integrate FMUs, vECUs, C11 libraries, AUTOSAR components, and other supplier assets; define interfaces, acceptance tests, and CI/CD integration patterns.
• Improve CoSim, SIL/HIL, and embedded development processes while providing technical leadership, mentorship, roadmap alignment, and support for chassis program execution.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in control systems/software development and/or technical leadership, with strong emphasis on chassis and vehicle dynamics controls.
• In-depth knowledge of chassis control and vehicle dynamics, including braking, steering, suspension, stability, and calibration against objective and subjective performance targets.
• Strong control systems experience in embedded systems, including state feedback, adaptive control, or model predictive control.
• Production-grade embedded software experience with C/C++ and model-based development using MATLAB/Simulink and code generation to GM standards.
• Strong understanding of AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive, ECU layering, and GMBSW integration patterns.
• Strong experience with CoSim, SIL/HIL, vECU design and integration, plant modeling using Simulink, Modelica, or equivalent, and CI/CD practices.
• Strong understanding of SDV service activation concepts, NPCR, and infrastructure vECU responsibilities in CoSim/SOLE.
• Hands-on experience with FMUs/FMI and supplier asset integration, including C11/C++ libraries, Ethernet/osa integration, VeSCoM/SDV cadence, and program gates.
• Experience with vehicle dynamics modeling and simulation tools such as CarSim, and vehicle communication or measurement tools such as Vehicle SPY, INCA, and CANalyzer.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills; ability to work independently and in global, cross-functional teams.
• Ability to travel as needed to test sites and partner locations.

Nice to have

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Control Systems, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with advanced statistics, signal processing, optimization, system identification, and state estimation for vehicle or chassis systems.
• Experience with automotive product release and specification processes and integrating virtual assets with program gates.
• Leadership in virtual integration strategies, architectural guidelines, and playbooks across domains and teams, with strong presentation and influence skills at staff or architect level.
