Résumé du poste

Stellantis NV in Auburn, Alabama seeks an Engine Core Calibration Engineer to define, improve, and deploy model-based and physics-based calibration methods for gasoline engine applications. You will create repeatable workflows, validation criteria, and correlations across dyno, vehicle, and virtual datasets, bridging physics and production quality.

The role requires strong expertise in base calibration areas and hands-on dyno experience, with leadership to mentor engineers and align

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
• 8+ years in gasoline engine calibration or related areas.
• Experience on dyno calibration for Boosted/TJI engine technologies.
• Strong knowledge of ICE subsystems: combustion, valvetrain, fuel, boost, EGR, aftertreatment.

Responsabilités

• Lead gasoline base calibration methodology (torque model, spark, knock, combustion, airflow, fuel, boost, VVT, EGR, idle, startability).
• Define release-readiness criteria, checklists, and documentation standards for calibration freeze, software release, and program milestones.
• Develop model-based/physics-based methods with defined inputs, assumptions, limitations, and acceptance criteria; build virtual models.
• Define model correlation methods across vehicle, engine/dyno, HIL/SIL/MIL, and virtual datasets.
• Standardize methodology toolchain use: MATLAB, Simulink, ETAS INCA, MDA, dSPACE Automation, ControlDesk.
• Build structured root-cause analysis and reusable countermeasures templates across applications.
• Define validation/test-planning methods and maturity/readiness criteria for program reviews.
• Mentor engineers and drive repeatable calibration workflows.

Description du poste

Engine Core Calibration Engineer

defining, improving, and deploying model-based and physics-based calibration methods for gasoline engine applications. Creates repeatable workflows, templates, validation criteria, and model correlation methods that enable application calibrators to deliver robust SS Nominal, SS Emissions, Off-Nominal, and Transient Calibration, bridging physical system behavior, simulation models, and production-intent quality expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead gasoline base calibration methodology (torque model, spark, knock, combustion, airflow, fuel, boost, VVT, EGR, idle, startability) plus SS Emissions, Off-Nominal, and Transient calibration methods.
• Define release-readiness criteria, checklists, and documentation standards for calibration freeze, software release, and program milestones.
• Develop model-based/physics-based methods with defined inputs, assumptions, limitations, and acceptance criteria; build/guide virtual models to reduce reliance on physical testing.
• Define model correlation methods across vehicle, engine/propulsion dyno, HIL/SIL/MIL, and virtual datasets to close simulation-to-physical gaps.
• Standardize methodology toolchain use: MATLAB, Simulink, ETAS INCA, MDA, dSPACE Automation, ControlDesk.
• Build structured root-cause analysis and issue-resolution templates; capture lessons learned and reusable countermeasures across applications.
• Define validation/test-planning methods (dyno, vehicle, HIL/SIL/MIL, virtual) and maturity/readiness criteria for program reviews and launches.
• Mentor engineers, align CoE and cross-functional teams, and drive consistent documentation and repeatable calibration workflows.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field
• 8+ years in gasoline engine calibration, calibration methodology, engine system development, powertrain controls, or model-based/physics-based development
• Prior experience on dyno calibration on Boosted/TJI engine technologies
• Strong knowledge of ICE subsystems: combustion, valvetrain, fuel, boost, EGR, aftertreatment, thermal protection, transient behavior, emissions controls
• Hands-on experience in base calibration areas (torque model, spark, knock, combustion, airflow, fuel, boost, VVT, EGR, idle, startability, emissions, off-nominal, transient)
• Understanding of release workflows, validation planning, optimization methods, and control-system interactions
• Experience collecting/interpreting calibration data from dyno, vehicle, HIL, or virtual environments
• Proficiency with ETAS INCA, MDA, dSPACE Automation, ControlDesk, MATLAB, Simulink, and data analytics tools
• Strong problem-solving, cross-functional influence, and clear technical communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in engineering
• Experience with spark ignition controls, production calibration release, or process ownership
• Experience with validation trips, altitude/environmental testing, launch support, and maturity assessments
• Experience with DOE, engine modeling, neural networks, reactive problem solving, statistics, or advanced simulation tools
• Familiarity with Model Advisor/MXAM, MDS, Simulink Requirements, SystemDesk, RTC/RQM, DNG, or SLDD-to-A2L/FBDD workflows
