Tata Technologies, Auburn Hills, Michigan, United States, 48326
Embedded MBD Software Engineer
At Tata Technologies we make product development dreams a reality by designing, engineering, and validating the products of tomorrow for the world’s leading manufacturers. Due to our continued growth, we are now recruiting for the following position.
Duration: Full Time
We are seeking an experienced Embedded MBD Software Engineer with expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and fixed‑point software implementation for drivetrain control systems, specifically transfer case applications. The role involves developing and optimizing embedded software on SP56 (Signal Processing 56‑bit) processors, converting floating‑point control algorithms into efficient fixed‑point code for real‑time performance and automotive‑grade reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain embedded software for transfer case control systems, including torque management, clutch actuation, and drive mode logic.
Perform floating-point to fixed-point conversion of control and signal-processing algorithms to optimize execution on SP56 processors.
Design and implement real-time DSP routines for torque control, slip detection, and motor control algorithms.
Work with system and modeling teams to translate MATLAB/Simulink models into production-ready C code (manual or auto-generated).
Define scaling, Q-format, and numerical precision strategies to ensure accurate fixed-point behavior.
Conduct validation and comparison between floating-point reference models and fixed-point implementations to ensure functional equivalence.
Optimize code for timing, memory footprint, and computational efficiency within the embedded target constraints.
Support integration, calibration, and testing activities for drivetrain electronic control modules (ECUs).
Prepare and maintain documentation for software design, conversion process, test procedures, and validation results.
Required Skills and Experience
3–8 years of experience in embedded software development for automotive control systems.
Strong experience with SP56 DSP processors or equivalent NXP/Freescale signal-processing platforms.
Proficiency in C/C++ programming for real-time embedded environments.
Deep understanding of floating-point to fixed-point conversion, scaling, and Q-format arithmetic (Q15, Q31).
Hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Fixed-Point Designer, and Embedded Coder / TargetLink for model-based development.
Strong knowledge of drivetrain or powertrain control systems — particularly transfer case, torque vectoring, or 4WD/AWD systems.
Familiarity with automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN) and diagnostic standards (UDS, ISO 14229).
Experience with embedded development environments (e.g., CodeWarrior, Lauterbach, or equivalent DSP IDEs).Understanding of functional safety practices (ISO 26262) and real-time system constraints.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in model-based design (MBD) workflows for drivetrain or powertrain control units.
Knowledge of motor control algorithms (PWM, torque estimation, current sensing).
Exposure to Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing and calibration tools (ETAS INCA, dSPACE).
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Computer Engineering.
Soft Skills
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability in real-time embedded systems.
Collaborative team player with cross-functional communication skills.
High attention to detail and commitment to code quality.
Ability to work independently in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary engineering environment.
