The Software Engineer will integrate virtual controller models, develop subsystem models, support simulations, and troubleshoot issues related to automotive simulations.
Description
DUTIES: Create or utilize existing virtual controller models to integrate be used across different virtual simulations. Create, maintain, and test virtual controller components such as HWIO, RTOS, communication models, etc. Obtain, develop, and parameterize sub-system models, such as sensors and actuators, and ECU behavioral models. Integrate Plant models and other ECU models into a dynamic virtual simulation. Create and maintain detailed documents for each release. Provide support for released simulations and assist with user testing and troubleshooting. Develop, integrate, and maintain serial data connectivity links (bridges) between the cosimulation platform and virtual controllers, models, and tools. Hybrid Work Policy - 3 days In office, 2 days remote - Must be able to report to local office.
Additional Description
REQUIREMENTS: Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field of study and 3 years of experience as a Project Engineer, Design Engineer, or related role. Two years of experience with: Python; MATLAB and Simulink in context of plant model development and integration and basic usage of additional simulation tools including GT-Power; Embedded controls software and the automated software build processes including dSPACE VEOS and ETAS INCA tools; Automotive communication technologies such as SENT, LIN, and CAN; Virtual electronic control units (V-ECUs) for engine, propulsion, and transmission controller modules and integrate them in a system-level simulation model; and Modeling of Hybrid Vehicle Systems, including mechatronic subsystems, in Simulink, Simscape, or GT-Power and debug/deploy subsystem models as system-level simulation components.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
