Engine Calibration Methodology Engineer Position

Powertrain Calibration Methodology Engineer is responsible for developing, testing, and validating propulsion system calibration processes which achieve world-class range, fuel economy, and drivability meeting current and future emission standards. The engineer will develop new calibration processes for both virtual and physical testing resources using techniques such as MIL, HIL and Physical properties. Process development will occur with new powertrain technologies such as ICE, xHEV and BEV configurations for both future and carry over applications. The engineer will develop disruptive technology processes that optimize the efficiency, quality, and product delivery for the calibration functions.

Job responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Support construction of virtual models to simulate system performance
• Provide expertise to correlate vehicle, dyno, and virtual datasets
• Work with the CoE teams to ensure best practices are developed and followed
• Provide guidance for calibrators to assure system performance objectives
• Work closely with Virtual and HIL teams to ensure and define feature functionality
• Need to understand the Hybrid and electrified powertrain controls algorithm developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK platform
• Work with the data acquisition and analysis tools such as dSPACE Automation, Controldesk, ETAS-INCA, MDA

Requirements / Qualification:

• BS in Engineering
• Minimum of 5 years of total work experience related to engine system development including related technologies and subsystems such as combustion, valvetrain, fuel system, boost systems, EGR systems, and aftertreatment systems
• Strong knowledge of internal combustion engines
• Strong expertise and knowledge of engine control strategies and complex optimization strategies
• Data acquisition experience collecting and processing data
• Working knowledge of engine analysis and calibration tools, emissions development, engine technologies and competitive products
• Experience with engine dynamometer measurement systems, data acquisition, and data analytics
