Job summary

Stellantis NV in Auburn Hills is seeking an Engine Core Calibration Engineer to lead model-based and physics-based calibration for gasoline engines, creating repeatable workflows, templates, and validation criteria to deliver robust SS Nominal, SS Emissions, Off-Nominal, and Transient calibrations.

You will mentor engineers, define release-readiness, and standardize toolchains (MATLAB/Simulink, ETAS INCA, MDA, dSPACE Automation, ControlDesk) while collaborating across vehicle and propulsion

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.
• Experience with 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.

Responsibilities

• Lead gasoline base calibration methodology 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.
