INTRODUCTION

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior Prognostics Data Engineer to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have strong technical expertise and play a key role in designing and deploying advanced signal processing methods for prognostics applications. We seek an innovative continuous learner and problem solver, driven to take ideas from concept to production. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of automotive technology and contribute to next-generation prognostics systems.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Work on a portfolio of various cross-functional projects simultaneously, delivering high-quality outcomes across diverse initiatives with evolving priorities and overlapping timelines.

  • Conduct and lead detailed failure mode analysis for vehicle systems to understand potential failure mechanisms.

  • Use condition-based monitoring techniques to analyze time-series and sensor data (vibration, temperature, pressure, etc.) using advanced statistical and signal processing techniques.

  • Develop and deploy health monitoring models (physics-based and data-driven) to predict potential mechanical system failures and estimate remaining useful life of vehicle components and systems.

  • Conduct and lead performance assessment, robustness analysis, validation, and testing through simulation, bench, vehicle, and on-field fleet data.

  • Optimize and calibrate signal processing algorithms for efficiency, performance, and scalability.

  • Lead and contribute to developing software library and tools for developing predictive maintenance solutions.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering domain experts, product management, and program management to ensure the successful delivery of prognostics products.

  • Stay updated on latest advancements, relevant regulations, and standards in prognostics, ensuring compliance in all products and initiatives.
