Job description

Talascend is currently seeking aCore Engine Calibration Engineer for a contract opportunity located in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

OVERVIEW:

The Calibration Engineer is responsible for generating optimal base engine calibrations meeting all the program objectives in terms of performance, control stability, lowest fuel consumption whilst minimizing the engine out and tailpipe emissions levels. The setup and control of all engine sensors and actuators for all engine operating conditions under both steady state and transient engine operation is part of the responsibilities.

The Calibration Engineer is also responsible for conducting engine hardware and systems testing and supporting all other teams with their standardized and specialized engine test requests. The responsibilities will be carried out across all the different propulsion system concepts and will include varying levels of electrification of the driveline.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• The Calibration Engineer will plan and coordinate day to day activities of an engine and powertrain dynamometer and does include collaboration with technicians and laboratory support engineers.
• In addition, test plans and timelines will be developed, and reports generated to communicate the status of the program to the larger development and management teams.
• Evaluations will occur with new engine hardware and powertrain technologies for future and carry over applications.
• The Calibration Engineer will analyze and solve complex system problems as they relate to engine performance, fuel consumption, emissions, and base engine calibration development.
• The Calibration Engineer will manipulate and utilize large and complex sets of engine mapping data.
• The engineer will also actively participate in the decision process of base engine hardware selection and base engine calibration to achieve the functional objectives.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent Engineering degree with 3-5 years of experience in the development and calibration of gasoline spark ignition engines; or a Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering with 1-3 years of experience in the development and calibration of gasoline spark ignition engine.
• Strong knowledge of internal combustion engines.
• Strong expertise and knowledge of engine control strategies and complex optimization strategies.
• Data acquisition experience collecting and processing data.
• Working knowledge of engine analysis and calibration tools, emissions development, engine technologies and competitive products.
• Outstanding problem solving and analytical skills.
• Good teamwork skills and ability to work independently.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills.

PREFERRED:

• Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from an ABET accredited university.
• Experience and overall knowledge in emissions development, powertrain systems development and controls systems development.
• Calibration process knowledge using design of experiments and advanced optimization techniques.
• Proficient in advanced simulation tools.
• Proficient in Matlab / Simulink.
