We are seeking a Senior Controls Engineering Specialist to lead the design, development, and integration of Electro‑Hydraulic (EH) brake systems for advanced machine platforms. This role is a technical leadership position focused on brake system controls, software architecture, functional safety, and system‑level integration supporting autonomy, remote control, and advanced operator assist features. The successful candidate will play a key role in defining scalable eh brake architectures, developing reusable control features, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and functional safety requirements across multiple machine platforms.

What You Will Do:

• Lead controls and software development for EH brake and brake mechatronics systems across multiple machine applications.
• Define and own brake control system architecture, interfaces, and core functions to enable reuse and scalability.
• Develop and integrate embedded control algorithms for service brake torque control, arbitration, diagnostics, and state estimation.
• Collaborate with hardware, hydraulics, and software teams to align valve hardware, sensors, ECMs, and control logic.
• Support functional safety activities, including safety goal definition, hazard analysis, and alignment with ISO brake standards.
• Guide system behavior during fault conditions, degraded modes, and safe state operation.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers working in brake controls and mechatronics.
• Support validation, test planning, and machine level integration for production and pilot programs.
• Engage with autonomy, remote control, and advanced feature teams to support brake system requirements and interfaces.

Degree Requirement:

• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related field.

What Skills You Will Have:

• Analytical Thinking: Knowledge of techniques and tools that promote effective analysis; ability to determine the root cause of organizational problems and create alternative solutions that resolve these problems.
• Communicating Complex Concepts: Knowledge of effective presentation tools and techniques to ensure clear understanding; ability to use summarization and simplification techniques to explain complex technical concepts in simple, clear language appropriate to the audience.
• Problem Solving: Knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; ability to apply knowledge of problem solving appropriately to diverse situations.
• Technology Advising: Knowledge of effective advisory methods and ability to provide valued information and advice to clients regarding products, technologies, services and solutions for a specific technology domain.
• Conceptual Thinking: Knowledge of thinking and reasoning at a conceptual level; ability to identify the critical ideas and interdependencies among system elements that impact performance.
• Embedded Systems: Knowledge of embedded systems and their applications; ability to develop embedded systems with varying levels of complexity to control the operations of the machine it is embedded within.
• Requirements Analysis: Knowledge of tools, methods, and techniques of requirement analysis; ability to elicit, analyze and record required business functionality and non-functionality requirements to ensure the success of a system or software development project.

Top Candidates Will Also Have:

• Extensive experience in embedded control systems for mobile equipment or automotive applications.
• Strong background in brake systems, EH hydraulics, or safety critical control systems.
• Proven experience with control system architecture, modular software design, and system integration.
• Experience working with functional safety concepts and regulatory brake requirements.
• Ability to lead technical decisions across cross functional teams.
• Experience with brake by wire or drive by wire systems.
• Knowledge of multi channel brake systems, torque based control, and physical system modeling.
• Familiarity with AUTOSAR, reusable software libraries, and scalable control platforms.
• Experience supporting autonomy, remote control, or advanced machine assist features.

Additional Information:

• This position requires the candidate to work full-time at the Mossville, IL office.
• Domestic relocation assistance is available for this position.
• Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
• Travel is up to 10%
