Principal Engineer - Vehicle Dynamics Controls

As Principal Engineer in Huawei’s Automotive Engineering Lab, you will shape vehicle dynamics for both human-driven and autonomous driving features. You’ll develop and refine control strategies for lateral and longitudinal dynamics, driving innovations in x-by-wire architectures and EV contexts. You will collaborate across mechanical, electrical, and software teams to deliver high-fidelity models and robust controls. This role offers impact in a global R&D environment with cross-cultural collaboration and cutting-edge automotive technology.
