Senior Functional Calibration Specialist

The Role: Here at General Motors, we are looking for a hard‑working person who enjoys taking on challenges and following through with robust solutions to join our Systems Engineering Team! Functional Calibration Specialists work with our systems engineering and software development teams to support the creation of new features and content. They are a critical piece of the development process responsible for both up front development of the features calibration specific requirements and also testing new features during the development process prior to our release to the broader development community. These calibrators cover all of the technical subject matter areas that a PMT is responsible for, so broad calibration and system function knowledge is preferred. Depending on the area of responsibility, a Calibrator may focus more heavily on engine controls, serial data, platform interface, or diagnostic calibration functionality. These are meaningful roles that ensure the powertrain integration to vehicles performs at world class levels to meet program objectives. Functional Calibration Specialists will be members of one of several technical Product Management Teams, which consist of Functional System Architects, Calibration Technical Specialists and also Sub System Lead Engineers. These teams are responsible for several areas of the engine or transmission controls software and calibrations. They are responsible for the end to end management of their technical areas all the way from system concept and requirements through to the release of the software to the individual calibration teams. This is a systems engineering position where the technical complexity, program scope, and program breadth combine to create a challenging role. Multiple cross‑system interactions exist in this role, interpersonal interfaces are required, and our teams work on projects across the globe. The ideal candidate has some experience motivating others, can manage multiple projects and deadlines, and has experience with several vehicle systems/component domains. What You’ll do: Author procedures to calibrate systems to meet product goals, and provide feedback for continuous improvement Help create new procedures to document standard work for new technologies Design and manage key strategic interfaces within Vehicle Calibration and/or Engine Controls Provide guidance to the software teams on necessary cal functionality, as well as verify functionality during the development process Help train new calibration engineers on calibration processes Lead requirements development with respect to system behavior and cal development Execute testing to support software verification and validation prior to release to the calibration teamsSupport root cause analysis Lead troubleshooting activities for complex system issues across the PMT Lead the development of tools and processes to support new software functionality and calibration processes Keep abreast of industry trends, technologies, and best practices Identify and document calibration vulnerabilities and build mitigation action plans; track corrective actions Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related Engineering degree Minimum of 5+ years of technical and/or manufacturing engineering experience Experience with data acquisition and analysis on complex problems Experience INCA/ETAS data acquisition, CRETA calibration delivery Knowledge of ICE engine controls. Experience mentoring engineers Understanding of engineering theory and principles of operation of mechanical/electrical mechanisms Valid driver’s license and ability to operate test vehicles Strong ability to efficiently capture and analyze empirical data. 3+ years of experience with in‑vehicle calibration What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills) 5+ years Engine controls calibration experience.
