Senior Systems Design Engineer

at  Sensata Technologies Inc

Did you know that in Sensata we have developed a leading-edge tyre pressure system that can detect rapid tyre deflation and instruct the vehicle stability system to take remedial action in less than 500miliseconds before the driver has time to react?
Not only do we design the world’s best tyre pressure sensors, but we also develop embedded software that runs on vehicle ECUs and our next generation of Bluetooth sensors. Our future includes machine learning, distributed processing, and edge/cloud architectures. We work with the majority of the top Car Companies, worldwide.
