Company changed around me: Rockwell, Meritor, ZF Meritor, and finally ZFPerformed embedded systems software design, calibration, and development work for automated heavy truck transmission projects. These designs use microprocessor driven diesel motor control and electric over air actuators to make a conventional truck manual transmission operate similarly.
