Control Systems Technical Product Lead

What you Will Do

 In this role you will work with the engineering team that develop control systems product solutions, serving as their liaison for all their sources of product requirements, from either PTx Trimble, CCFS, or other sources, and translating these into technical product roadmaps and requirements/specifications that the control system development team will design and validate to. 

Control system products include in its scope not only the development of the core state estimation and control algorithms, but also the required processes, procedures, methods that enable repeatable and effective successful deployment of Trimble control systems in the field. 

These include methods to either manually or automatically configure, calibrate, and optimize (e.g. performance tune) the control system algorithms on any target machine. 

You will also contribute in the coordination of the project, guiding the development team with the project planning and execution.

Your Primary Duties

• Interface directly with AgIS partners to capture their product needs, helping to rationalize and crystallize these into actionable items for the control systems engineering team

• Develop and document control system product engineering requirements and specifications with a Good / Better / Best mindset

• Create and maintain the control system product and technical roadmap (includes deployment)

• Collaborate with control systems leadership to develop an engineering strategy to support the product roadmap

• Develop and maintain system diagrams of the control system product and sub-components, as well as their delivery and integration into target platform architectures (Systems Engineering)

• Ensure all product initiatives and developments are consistently aligned with the AgIS overall product roadmap and strategic objectives

• Contribute to the Connect and Scale strategy alignment inside AgIS

• Develop requirements and technical specifications when not available or articulated by our customers

• Align with the control systems team leadership for adherence to best practice control system development, and effective team execution

What Skills & Experience You Should Bring

• 7+ years of demonstrable experience with system engineering and requirements Capture

• Engineering degree in a related discipline, such as Systems Engineering, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, or other related field

• Clear, concise, objective communication with leadership, team members, and customers

• Identify, capture, and develop control system product engineering requirements. Ensure these requirements are clear, actionable, and aligned with customer needs and business goals 

• Experience bringing products through a development process

• Understanding customer needs and ensuring the product meets those needs

• Experience with requirements decomposition and management tools (e.g. Polarion)

• Strong documentation, systems diagramming, and communication skills

• Experience with systems engineering of off-highway industrial machine systems

• Ability to travel (including international) up to 10% per year

What Skills & Experience You Could Bring

• 12+ years of applicable work experience

• Experience leading small technical project and project management

• Exposure to control system component concepts such as state estimation, sensing, controller, actuation and their implementation in off-highway vehicle systems

• GNSS and IMU position sensing sensing technology concepts 

• Safety-critical software development and certification

• Autonomous vehicle guidance, navigation & control background
