Job summary

Ford Motor Company seeks an Advanced Emissions Calibration Engineer to bridge virtual simulations with real-world testing. You will develop calibration strategies balancing emissions targets with fuel economy and drivability, leading multi-subsystem coordination and prototype commissioning.

The role emphasizes hands-on debugging and data-driven trade-off decisions, with responsibilities spanning engine, aftertreatment, transmission, and motors.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of powertrain calibration experience focusing on gasoline emissions or electrified propulsion.
• Experience with ATI Vision, ETAS INCA, or Vector CANape and CAN protocols.
• Knowledge of global emissions standards (SULEV20/15/10).
• Hands-on prototype wiring skills and hardware-in-the-loop troubleshooting.
• DAQ systems experience across engine dynamometers and testing environments.
• Data engineering and statistical validation experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead development testing across engine dynamometers, powertrain/hub dynamometers, and physical vehicles.
• Use virtual simulations to front-load calibration development and demonstrate system capability.
• Conduct sensitivity studies to optimize emissions, fuel economy, performance, and drivability.
• Coordinate calibration across engine, aftertreatment, transmission, and electric generator/motors.
• Use DOE methods to map calibration spaces and define robust operating strategies.
• Lead prototype commissioning and perform system-level debugging.
• Document and present calibration progress and regulatory status to leadership.
