Work Location: Lockport, NY (Onsite)

Relocation Assistance Offered: Yes - This position is open to consideration for applicants currently residing in the US and will require relocation to the Lockport / Greater Buffalo, NY area who do not require any immigration assistance or visa sponsorship now and/or in the future.  MAHLE offers a comprehensive relocation assistance package in accordance to our Domestic Relocation Policy.  

SUMMARY

The position is part of the product engineering team developing the AC compressors.  Current compressor product teams are developing and producing a product portfolio consisting of mechanical drive and electric drive compressors.

The eCompressor product engineering group is responsible for all MAHLE global eCompressor designs.  A focus of this responsibility for the eCompressor is design and development of the motor and electric drive for new compressors in the pre-development engineering phase. In this phase, this group is designing and developing custom electronic hardware and software for concept validation and potential implementation into future eCompressor products.  In addition, this group supports the general development and testing of all compressor related products.

Embedded Software Engineers develop and implement custom control software that is contained in electronic devices typically without traditional PC user interfaces. The main challenge is control of our electrical-mechanical eCompressor to deliver robust motor speed control to drive a refrigeration compression mechanism at steady speeds during varying motor loads.  In addition, software features are being developed to provide self-protections for the compressor to help avoid misuse by customers.

The key stages of work include capturing and understanding requirements, developing a work strategy, coding, testing, debugging and documenting system software.
