Hybrid Full Time IT & Technology

Responsibilities

  • Own the process for prognostic feature development from conceptual to feature deployment to our production vehicles.
  • Pioneer Physics-Informed Machine Learning (PIML): Fuse first-principles physics modeling with advanced machine learning to develop hybrid, high-fidelity prognostic models that capture complex degradation behaviors across both EV and ICE powertrains.
  • Architect Prognostics & RUL Frameworks: Design and deploy state-of-the-art prognostics models to accurately estimate the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of critical vehicle subsystems, transforming noisy fleet data into actionable maintenance alerts.
  • Deploy Edge Models in C++: Translate complex predictive models into highly optimized, low-latency C++ code, bridging the gap between cloud-based data science and resource-constrained on-board vehicle electronic control units (ECUs).
  • Harness High-Frequency Signal Processing: Architect custom Digital Signal Processing (DSP) pipelines and time-series analytics to extract clean, high-frequency physical signatures from multi-sensor vehicle networks, isolating early-stage wear patterns before they manifest as failures.
  • Design Multi-Sensor Fault Detection & Isolation (FDI): Develop and validate intelligent, multi-sensor anomaly detection frameworks capable of real-time Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) to ensure vehicle safety, system redundancy, and fault-tolerant control.
  • Apply Statistical Causal Inference: Leverage advanced statistical methods (including causal inference, multivariate analysis, ANOVA, and PCA) to differentiate between mere correlation and true physical root causes of component degradation across massive, connected vehicle fleets.
  • Own the End-to-End Pipeline (HIL to Production): Direct the entire prognostic lifecycle—moving seamlessly from mathematical conceptualization and simulation in MATLAB/Simulink to physical validation on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) benches, prototype vehicles, and ultimately to production vehicle deployment.
  • Synthesize Deep Subsystem Domain Knowledge: Partner closely with EV and ICE component subject matter experts to translate deep physical domain knowledge (thermal, mechanical, chemical, and electrical) into robust on-board and off-board diagnostics.
  • Build Scale with Big Data & Calibration Tools: Ingest and process large-scale telemetry data using Python, SQL, Spark, and Hadoop, while leveraging industry-standard calibration tools (such as ATI and ETAS) to fine-tune algorithms for real-world driving environments. Interact with subject matter experts to understand component/system functions, leverage existing connected vehicle data to model on-board and off-board prognostics algorithms.
  • Operate cross-functionally to ensure successful code implementation on production vehicles.
