VINFAST is a pioneering electric vehicle (EV) company committed to revolutionizing the automotive industry with sustainable and innovative mobility solutions. As a leading player in the EV market, VinFast is dedicated to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge electric vehicles that redefine the driving experience. Our team consists of passionate professionals driven by a shared vision of creating a greener and more sustainable future through innovation, technology, and excellence.In this role, you will join the Motion Planning & Control team that owns the vehicle motion control software behind VinFast’s L2+ driver-assistance and Automated Parking functions. You will design, implement and calibrate the lateral and longitudinal controllers that turn a planned trajectory into steering, torque and brake requests, running in production C/C++ on embedded automotive hardware.You will work with Motion Planning, Perception, Vehicle Dynamics, Functional Safety, Vehicle Test and VinFast’s suppliers, and you will prove every change in closed-loop simulation and on the test track before it reaches a customer car. Your work directly determines how precisely, how smoothly and how safely a VinFast vehicle parks and manoeuvres itself.​Position ResponsibilitiesControl design and development· Design, implement and tune the lateral (steering) control for automated parking and low-speed manoeuvring, from control concept through to production code.· Design and tune the longitudinal control: speed profile following, stopping accuracy, smooth start and stop, and ride comfort.· Develop the trajectory tracking behaviour — how the vehicle follows a planned path, including direction changes, gear shifts and the end of each manoeuvre.· Build and validate the vehicle and actuator models used for control design, and quantify how well they match the real car.· Define and maintain the interfaces between control and its neighbours: motion planning, vehicle state estimation, and the steering, powertrain and brake actuators.​RequirementsEducation and experienceMUST HAVE:· Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Control Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, Robotics, Automotive or Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Computer Science.· Mid-level: 3+ years designing and tuning motion controllers for road vehicles or mobile robots. Senior: 5+ years including series/production development, able to own a control feature end to end and to mentor other engineers.Control engineering fundamentals – required· Classical and modern control — PID, state-space design, pole placement, LQR/LQG, and a clear understanding of the trade-offs between them.· State estimation and filtering — observers, Kalman filtering, and practical digital filter design.· Analysis — stability, robustness and performance in continuous and discrete time; sampling and discretisation, time delay, saturation and anti-windup.· Modelling and system identification — build a model of a physical system, fit it to measured data, and know where it stops being valid.NICE TO HAVE:· Vehicle kinematics and basic vehicle dynamics — bicycle and Ackermann models, steering behaviour, and how low-speed and reverse driving differ from normal driving.· Applied mathematics — linear algebra, numerical methods, coordinate frames and transformations, and signal processing.Engineering skills – required· Strong C and modern C++ (C++11/14/17), clean and testable code, and confidence debugging real-time software.· Python for data analysis, plotting and test automation; Linux, Git and CMake.· An experimental mindset — define the measurement before the conclusion, quantify uncertainty, and tell a real improvement from noise.· Working proficiency in English and clear technical writing.Topics specific to this role – advantageous, or willing to learn quickly· Path- and trajectory-tracking control at low speed: preview and look-ahead schemes, feedforward plus feedback steering, curvature-to-steering mapping, and steering angle and rate limiting.· Handling of direction reversals and gear changes inside a controller, and precise stopping and standstill behaviour.· Actuator characterisation and delay compensation for electric power steering and for powertrain torque and brake interfaces.· Optimisation-based control: MPC/MPCC, iLQR or DDP, and practical use of QP/NLP solvers.· Real-time embedded automotive software: fixed-cycle execution, allocation-free control loops, automotive MCU and SoC targets, AUTOSAR, RTOS, CAN/CAN-FD.· Model-based design with MATLAB/Simulink and production code generation.· Closed-loop simulation and HIL benches; simulators such as CARLA or Gazebo; ROS/ROS 2.· Functional safety (ISO 26262), SOTIF (ISO 21448) and Automotive SPICE.· Parking-domain sensing and its effect on control: ultrasonic sensors, surround-view cameras, slot detection, odometry and occupancy grids.OtherWillingness to take part in vehicle testing at the test track and in real parking environments.BenefitsOpportunity to work on cutting-edge perception systems with real-world impact.A collaborative, fast-paced, and innovation-driven environment.Clear career growth path, leadership opportunities, and support for research and learning.Competitive salaryPremium healthcare package, including PVI insurance & annual health check-ups13th-month salary & performance bonuses to reward your contributionsEnjoy preferential pricing for services within the Vingroup ecosystem including Vinmec, Vinpearl, and Vinschool...Work Location: In Ha Noi: Technopark Tower, Gia Lam, Ha NoiWith respect to all your personal data shared to VinFast in the application and the entire recruitment process of VinFast, by clicking “Apply”, submitting your resumé/CV and/or participating in VinFast's recruitment process, you agree that you have read VinFast's Personal Data Protection Policy ("Policy") posted at https://vinfastauto.com/vn_vi/dieu-khoan-phap-ly or https://vinfast.vn/privacy-policy/, you agree to the Policy and consent for VinFast to process your personal data in accordance with the Policy and the applicable regulations on personal data protection.
