Controls engineer debugging an electronic control unit on a hardware-in-the-loop bench — Integrity Staffing Group
Integrity Staffing Group recruits vehicle controls and system electronics engineers for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across Metro Detroit.
Electrical content is where a program slips. With the seat open, requirements go unwritten, integration bugs surface in the vehicle instead of on the bench, and a gate review moves to the right. We screen on the bus and calibration tooling your program runs, the requirements system your team documents in, and the safety standard your customer holds you to.

What a Vehicle Controls Engineer does on your program

Vehicle controls and electronics engineers own the electrical system and the software that rides on it: requirements and architecture, ECU integration, the bus networks between modules, and the bench and vehicle testing that proves a feature works before launch.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • ›System requirements and electrical architecture
  • ›ECU integration and calibration support
  • ›CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet networks
  • ›HIL and SIL bench setup and execution
  • ›Diagnostics, UDS, and root cause analysis

Automotive Staffing — FAQ

This is a specialized bench, so we set a realistic timeline with you at intake instead of quoting a number before we have read the requirements.

How long does it take to place a vehicle controls engineer in Metro Detroit?
This is a specialized bench, so we set a realistic timeline with you at intake instead of quoting a number before we have read the requirements.
Which bus and calibration tools do you screen for?
Vector CANoe and CANalyzer, ETAS INCA, dSPACE, and MATLAB/Simulink, across CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet.
Do candidates have functional safety experience?
We screen for ISO 26262 functional safety work and ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity where the role requires it, and we tell you plainly when a candidate's exposure is thinner than the job needs.
Contract or direct hire for controls and electronics roles?
Both, plus employee hosting. Contract covers an integration and validation phase; direct hire fits permanent ownership of the architecture.
