Job Title:Hybrid Powertrain Calibration Engineer

Location:Chelsea, MI and Auburn Hills, MI (Onsite)

Pay Range:

What's the Job?

• Develop Hybrid Controller Processor (HCP) calibration from first Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) simulators through powertrain dynamometers and mule vehicles up to production.
• Own calibration activities across application, optimization, validation, and logistics/fleet support, including HCP calibration reviews with calibration teams.
• Support HIL and dyno commissioning first-run activities for new powertrain architectures in close collaboration with the HCP controls team.
• Review new calibrations implemented via software change requests (SWCRs) to ensure initial values are correct for each new software release.
• Provide training to new calibration engineers and others as needed on hybrid vehicle operation and controls; support development test trips and reporting for senior management.

What's Needed?

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related degree.
• Experience with electrified powertrain (BEV or Hybrid) calibration or embedded controls.
