Powertrain Calibration Engineer (spark ignited engines and electrified powertrain systems)

Long term W2 role

PR - 36.55/Hour

The Torque Security VRT (Vehicle Reaction Test) Engineer is responsible for designing, coordinating and conducting the Torque Security safety audit for new powertrain applications for both spark ignited engines and electrified powertrain systems. The Engineer will plan, then conduct or supervise, a highly detailed series of electrical and CAN fault injections designed to test the Torque Security system's capacity to detect failures and perform the necessary remedial action. The engineer will generate reports, conduct test concern reviews with feature calibrators, and assist in investigations into software/logic errors uncovered during testing. The Engineer will manipulate and utilize large and complex sets of engine mapping data to analyze and solve complex system problems as they relate to functional safety, will work cross functionally with engine development, powertrain controls and vehicle teams to identify solutions that achieve program requirements. The candidate should expect to travel 1-3 weeks throughout the year for system validation/verification.

Requirements:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering field from an accredited university.
• Minimum 1-3 years of experience in engine development, powertrain systems development /engine calibration /control systems development / diagnostics within the automotive industry.
• Strong foundational knowledge of internal combustion engines and powertrain calibration.
• Proficiency with calibration tools such as INCA and CDA, X-plot
• Ability to interface with software and read Simulink models via MATLAB tools.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Develop test plans, and validate torque security diagnostic strategies to ensure compliance with system requirements and meet safety release requirements at appropriate program milestones.
• Execute verification test plans to confirm diagnostic functionality and system robustness.
• Analyze large and complex engine mapping datasets to identify and resolve system-level issues related to functional safety.
• Generate technical reports and documentation to support calibration and validation activities.
• Collaborate with feature calibrators to review test concerns and support root cause investigations of software or logic issues.
• Work cross-functionally with engine development, powertrain controls, and vehicle integration teams to deliver solutions that meet program goals.
• Coordinate and participate in corrective action meetings to drive improvements through calibration and software updates.
• Travel 1–4 weeks annually for system validation and verification activities.
• Support vehicle testing and attend in-person meetings at the Auburn Hills facility as needed.

Preferred Requirements:

• Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science from an accredited university
• 5+ years of experience in engine development, powertrain systems development /engine calibration /control systems development / diagnostics within the automotive industry Calibration process knowledge using design of experiments and advanced optimization techniques
• Functional Safety standard knowledge with ISO26262 training.
• Proficient in advanced simulation tools
• Proficient in Matlab / Simulink
• Ability to read Simulink Models / use of Matlab
• Ability to analyze large data files and provide feedback on results in a timely matter and then identify if retest is required or test pass or fail to the lead calibrator.
• Work necessary Overtime / Weekends per program demands
• Onsite - 100% located at Chelsea Proving Grounds with occasion travel to CTC as necessary to support FMVS-124 testing in the environmental cells.
• Will this position be required to drive a Stellantis vehicle during the assignment? Yes, must have a valid driver’s license.
• Travel: CPG to CTC (periodic throughout the year)
• Travel: Potential trip support if needed 1-3 weeks throughout the year
