Job description

Engine Calibration Engineer supports development, validation, and continuous improvement of model-based and physics-based calibration methods across ICE,xHEV, and BEV applications. This early-career role assists methodology development, data analysis, model correlation, validation planning, and process documentation, helping calibration teams improve repeatability, quality, efficiency, range, fuel economy, drivability, and emissions readiness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support gasoline base calibration methodology (torque model, spark, knock, combustion, airflow, fuel, boost, VVT, EGR, idle, startability) plus SS Emissions, Off-Nominal, and Transient calibration.
• Support release-readiness checklists, dataset maturity evidence, and organized documentation for calibration freeze and program milestones.
• Support model-based/physics-based methods by documenting inputs, assumptions, limitations, and validation evidence; assist building/improving virtual models.
• Support correlation of vehicle, dyno, HIL/SIL/MIL, and virtual datasets to identify simulation-to-physical gaps.
• Use MATLAB, Simulink, ETAS INCA, MDA, dSPACE Automation, and ControlDesk to support data analysis and methodology work.
• Support structured root-cause analysis, data summaries, and lessons-learned capture for calibration issue resolution.
• Support validation/test planning (dyno, vehicle, HIL/SIL/MIL, virtual) and calibration maturity/readiness assessments.
• Collaborate with CoE, Controls, Emissions, Validation, and application calibration teams; help document and improve methodology and best practices.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering
• 3+ years of experience in engine system development, calibration, controls, model-based development
• Prior experience in base engine dyno calibration on boosted/TJI engines
• Knowledge of ICE subsystems: combustion, valvetrain, fuel system, boost, EGR, aftertreatment
• Data acquisition experience collecting, processing, and organizing dyno, vehicle, HIL, or virtual test data
• Working knowledge of engine analysis/calibration tools, emissions development, and engine technologies
• Basic proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink to support model-based analysis and calibration methodology
• Good teamwork and independent-work skills; effective communication and clear documentation habits

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in engineering
• Experience with engine dynamometer measurement systems, data acquisition, and data analytics
• Work experience in spark ignition engine controls and calibration
• Experience with DOE, engine modeling, neural networks, reactive problem solving, or statistics
• Exposure to Model Advisor/MXAM, Simulink Requirements, MDS, SystemDesk, RTC/RQM, DNG, or related model-quality tools
