Job Description Hybrid

This position does not require an employee to be on‑site full‑time to perform most effectively. The employee’s role enables them to be onsite approximately 3 days per week.

The Role

We are seeking an exceptional candidate to join our Active Chassis Calibration team at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds.

Our team develops and delivers world‑class vehicle dynamics performance to our customers through innovative Chassis and Brake Controls features. The Calibration Engineer is responsible for the application of actively controlled chassis technologies in order to provide safe and confident vehicle performance to the end user. Some examples of the features and functions include Value Added Functions, ABS, TCS, ESC and VDCore.

Active Chassis calibration is highly dynamic work involving significant hands‑on time spent driving, evaluating and calibrating vehicles, deep technical analysis of the resulting data, and efforts to continually enhance the underlying algorithm and controls. In addition to in‑vehicle work, calibration engineers utilize advanced tools to achieve their goals including vehicle simulation environments, HiL benches and DiL simulators. The engineers accomplish this work among a collaborative team of peer calibrators, algorithm specialists, HiL engineers, system feature owners and performance engineers.

Candidates should possess experience with vehicle control systems, in‑vehicle performance evaluation, vehicle dynamics, calibration experience in a complex technology area, along with demonstrated planning, communication, teamwork, and prioritization skills.
