Job description

Job Title: Emissions Calibration Engineer

Location: Auburn Hills, MI

Job Description:

The Calibration System Integration Engineer is responsible for leading the commissioning, integration and testing of calibration development resources. Including Virtual/hardware-in-loop test setups, Physical system dynamometer resources, and full vehicle. The scope of responsibility spans the commissioning and execution of new system-level propulsion test resources, and test/validation support for system-level propulsion strategy and execution. The Calibration System Integration Engineer will be the primary point of contact for system-level design validation and testing across these test resources.

The successful candidate will support HIL/Dyno/Vehicle commissioning and first-run activities. They will work closely with Powertrain controls team to ensure features are working sufficiently and efficiently and will provide training to all new calibration engineers and/or anyone else needing training on the operation of propulsion vehicles and controls.

Job Responsibilities:

• System and Cross Feature Calibration and Validation - ex. Drive modes, System SOC Management, range estimation, EOL, HMI, etc.
• First run support for HIL, Dyno and vehicle properties
• Lead validation of PCR package identifying HW/SW/Calibration deficiencies prior to Hard release
• FE/Emissions support - dyno support, data review, issue/vehicle triage
• Lead development trips to support development and meet program milestones
• Data Summary from trip, daily drives and fleet to support calibration maturity for QG’s
• AVL Drive Testing – Scheduling, triage lead and implementation of improvements
• Support all issue resolution – GIMs, IMS, etc.

Key Must Have’s:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related degree
• 2 years of professional calibration experience on an Electrification Application
• Automotive experience either at work or university, such as Formula SAE, Baja or SAE EcoCar.
• Good oral and written communication skills with the ability to work independently and with others
• High level of analytic ability and creativity
• Action a disciplined test plan and verification process to ensure quality calibrations are released.
• Must have strong knowledge of the powertrain systems.
• Knowledge of control system development tools such as Matlab and Simulink
• Knowledge of Calibration tools INCA, MDA, PowerCal, CRETA, CANAlyzer and CANoe
• Experience in Powertrain Control solutions development (powertrain control algorithms, On-board Diagnostics/OBD, embedded software)
• Knowledge of fundamentals of eMachines and Power Electronics and electrification power flow
• Experience in engine/transmission design and development and/or Powertrain Systems Engineering
