Job Description

The successful candidate will collaborate with other team members to bridge physical engine behaviors using simulation models and production calibration requirements. This position plays a critical role in establishing best practices for steady-state nominal, emissions, off-nominal, and transient calibration development while supporting virtual engineering initiatives that reduce development time and testing costs.

This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated engineer who enjoys technical problem-solving, process improvement, mentoring engineers, and driving innovation in powertrain calibration methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

Calibration Methodology Leadership

• Development and standardization of gasoline engine base calibration methodologies, including:

Model-Based Development

• Develop and refine model-based and physics-based calibration approaches with clearly defined:
• Guide the development and validation of virtual engine and powertrain models to reduce dependency on physical testing.
• Establish model correlation strategies that improve agreement between simulation environments and physical testing results.

Validation & Release Readiness

• Define calibration release-readiness criteria, engineering checklists, and documentation standards.
• Establish requirements for calibration freeze milestones, software releases, and program launch readiness.
• Create validation methodologies and test plans for:

Data Analysis & Problem Solving

• Develop structured root-cause analysis processes and issue-resolution workflows.
• Analyze calibration and vehicle data to identify performance opportunities and corrective actions.
• Capture lessons learned and establish reusable engineering countermeasures across applications.

Tools & Process Standardization

• Drive consistent use of engineering toolchains including:
• Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on calibration efficiency and quality.

Technical Leadership

• Mentor calibration engineers and support technical development across the organization.
• Collaborate with controls, software, systems, simulation, validation, and program teams.
• Promote best practices in calibration development, documentation, validation, and release processes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Prior hands-on dynamometer calibration experience with:
• Understanding of internal combustion engine systems, including:
• Experience developing and validating:
• Experience collecting and interpreting data from:
• Proficiency with:
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Why Join Us?

• Work on cutting-edge gasoline engine and advanced combustion technologies.
• Influence calibration methodologies used across multiple vehicle programs.
• Collaborate with highly experienced powertrain, controls, simulation, and validation engineers.
• Drive innovation in model-based calibration and virtual engineering development.
• Opportunity to shape engineering standards, best practices, and future calibration strategies.
