Calibration Engineer

Position Description:

The Advanced Emissions Calibration Engineer is responsible for developing and demonstrating system-level capabilities to achieve future emissions targets (SULEV20, SULEV15, and SULEV10) for gasoline-powered Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), Hybrid (HEV), and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) applications. This role bridges the gap between virtual simulation and physical validation, leading the development of calibration strategies that balance stringent regulatory compliance with core vehicle attributes like fuel economy and drivability. The ideal candidate combines high-level analytical strategy with a "hands-on " approach to commissioning and debugging complex prototype propulsion systems.

Experience Required:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in powertrain calibration, with a specific focus on gasoline emissions and/or electrified propulsion systems (HEV/PHEV).

• Technical Tools: Proficiency with industry-standard calibration tools (e.g., ATI Vision, ETAS INCA, or Vector CANape) and CAN communication protocols.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of global emissions regulatory requirements and test procedures, specifically SULEV20, SULEV15, and SULEV10 standards.

• Hands-on Aptitude: Demonstrated mechanical and electrical (wiring) skills for prototype vehicle/bench setup and hardware-in-the-loop troubleshooting.

• Testing Proficiency: Experience with data acquisition (DAQ) systems and various testing environments, including engine/chassis dynamometers.

• Data Analysis: Experience in data engineering and statistical validation, with a proven track record of analyzing large-scale datasets to identify statistically significant trends

Experience Preferred:

• Advanced Degree: Master's or PhD in Engineering with a focus on Thermal-Fluids, Controls, or Power Electronics.

• Exhaust Aftertreatment: Expertise design and validation of exhaust aftertreatment.

• Specialized Software: Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and advanced DOE optimization software (e.g., AVL ASCMO, Model-Based Calibration Toolbox).

• Hybrid Strategy: Specific experience in developing hybrid energy management strategies and engine start/stop emissions control.

• Leadership: Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical reviews and mentor junior calibration engineers.
