Job Description

The Team

The Low Voltage Infrastructure Team within the Embedded Platform Systems & Infrastructure organization is focused on the development of systems, software and controls centered around on-vehicle low voltage power generation, energy storage, power management, distribution, and consumption control. There is no better time to join this newly formed team as we evolve to the next generation of low voltage power architectures and consumption control strategies in SDV2.0!

The Role

We are seeking experienced and highly motivated engineers for our Calibration Engineer opening within GM's Low Voltage Infrastructure group. The position involves significant in-vehicle, simulation and lab work, along with related analytical and performance verification activities.

Calibration engineers engage in cross-functional teams, are expected to handle multiple projects/priorities, and frequently need to balance planned and unplanned work. A typical week includes in-vehicle calibration & testing, lab/bench/analytical activities, and collaboration with algorithm/software and hardware engineers.Calibration engineers can participate in offsite development trips as well as onsite program team vehicle evaluations.

This position will support Electric Power System calibrations across all GM vehicles with a focus on the newly created group of Activation Management. The best candidate will deliver calibrations that ensure feature/diagnostic functionality and robustness in areas including but not limited to low voltage setpoint control, battery saver modes, and low voltage load management.

Your role will utilize system hardware/software troubleshooting skills to resolve issues and complete calibration standard work. You will analyze large sets of data collected during various key-off, parked and driving maneuvers (in simulation, lab, dyno, and vehicle), tune the system response through calibration and identify areas requiring a change in controls.

Key Behaviors

• Drive for Results
• Dealing with ambiguity
• Prioritization and decision-making skills
• Action-oriented
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills
• Customer-focused
• Integrity and Trust
• Problem Solving
• Conflict management

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

• Develop and optimize calibrations to meet performance and timing requirements utilizing Calibration Standard Work.
• Conduct calibration reviews to ensure high quality calibrations.
• Organize, plan, and coordinate calibration activities with Lead Calibrators and Electric Power Controls Scrum Teams.
• Support identification of requirements for resources to develop calibrations.
• Diagnose and correct vehicle, system, and controls deficiencies.
• Support resolution of vehicle, plant, durability/dyno, or customer issues.
• Utilize analytical tools to develop & verify calibrations.
• Develop, use, and update calibration procedures.
• Participate in controls groups and support development of algorithms.
• Participate in development trips and related test activities.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in Engineering.
• Two years of engineering experience.

People Skills

• Independent worker requiring little direction and works well in a team environment.
• Excellent planner and complex problem solver.
• High level of oral and written communication skills.
• Experience with data acquisition and analysis.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills)

• Masters Degree Engineering Degree or equivalent discipline.
• Five years of post-graduation engineering experience.
• Controls and/or calibration experience.
• Experience with tools commonly used in calibration: INCA, Vehicle Spy, CRETA, MDA, Matlab/Simulink.
• Experience with low voltage electric power controls features.
