Diesel Powertrain Calibration Engineer

Position Description:

• This Diesel Powertrain Calibration Engineer position involves evaluating, assessing, testing, & optimizing vehicle attributes.
• Modify vehicle and powertrain calibrations to meet attributes including emissions, drivability, performance, diagnostics, fuel economy, and NVH.
• This can be on vehicles and/or in engine dynamometer test cells.
• Responsibilities could include specialization in Engine combustion setpoints, SCR Aftertreatment operation, DPF Regen Mode operation and temperature control, CAN communications, and diagnostics calibration meeting requirements based on robust statistical metrics
• Perform data analysis and regress model calibrations with large data sets & communicate conclusions
• Interface with software algorithm suppliers (internal and external) to evaluate new features prior to development process
• Calibrate and sign-off features for future model year Diesel programs
• Document progress and methods used to calibrate & validate features within assigned responsibility
• Use models and simulation to reduce testing and optimize powertrain calibrations
• Position may require travel to remote development locations (Arizona/Canada/Colorado/Florida) for vehicle testing approximately 2 weeks per trip and 3 trips per year

Skills Required:

• 5 years experience of powertrain calibration with vehicle and/or dyno testing
• Proficient with MATLAB and Calibration Tools including ETAS and/or ATI
• Understanding of Emission Regulatory requirements, including OBD
• Demonstrated ability to create or invent solutions to new or changing requirements
• Ability to read and understand powertrain control strategies (C-code & model-based)
• CAE experience with modeling/simulation to calibrate and optimize engine control features
• Comprehensive knowledge of internal combustion engines (especially diesels) and effective engine and vehicle test methods
  Strong problem-solving skills to drive resolution of sophisticated system issues
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent data analysis capabilities, including statistical knowledge
• Team player who excels in a collaborative and cross-functional environment
• Self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple tasks
• Valid Driver's license required

Education Required:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (BSME, BSEE, BSAE, BS Chemical Engineering, BSE Computer Science, BS Computer Engineering)

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Valid Driver's license required
