The Development Test Engineer Job is responsible for evaluating, comparing, and improving the performance of gasoline engine aftertreatment systems to meet or exceed regulatory standards, optimize efficiency, and support product development.

This engineer will also be responsible for developing and integrating system technologies including engine hardware, exhaust sensors, control strategies, calibration, and the integration of these technologies into the propulsion system to meet upcoming emissions standards (e.g., TIER4, California LEV IV, EURO7, China 7, etc.) for future vehicle propulsion applications for electrified vehicles.

Projects will utilize engine, powertrain, or vehicle chassis dynamo meters and/or simulation/modeling to make physics-based decisions and demonstrate proof-of-concept solutions to prove Propulsion functional objectives are satisfied.

The engineer will act as both an individual contributor and as part of teams within and outside of the Emissions and Aftertreatment group, both internal and external to the company.

The engineer will interact with core engine, controls, regulatory, and supplier teams as part of a globally integrated Emissions and Aftertreatment group within the larger Propulsion Calibration Group.

Key responsibilities:

Direct/Schedule day-to-day activities of engine/PT dynamometer or vehicle-based testing, which may include interaction with technicians and support engineers

appropriate procedures and methodologies for project management (planning, scheduling, and reporting) to reach project deliverables including use of tools such as: MS Project, Excel, etc.

Develop emissions systems solutions for future high efficiency powertrains including system trade-offs for cost, performance, complexity, etc., while meeting all quality and regulatory requirements

Optimize/adjust the calibration of the engine and emissions system to fit new emissions hardware

Investigates competitor vehicles’ emission systems through instrumentation and on-board diagnostics (OBD) to assess performance, identify differences, and understand strategies to meet or exceed regulatory requirements

Define and direct multiple technology development projects internally and at suppliers to meet the critical needs of the emissions system

Plan, test, analyze, and solve complex system problems as they relate to the entire powertrain system to meet key objectives such as performance, emissions, diagnostics, NVH, quality, fuel economy, etc.
