Calibration Engineer

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and correct platform (hardware, HIL/SIL), system, and controls deficiencies.
• Support resolution of platform, plant, lab, and customer issues.
• Use analytical, scripting, and automation tools to develop and verify calibrations.
• Develop, maintain, and follow calibration procedures and execution guides.
• Participate in agile development teams and support algorithm development.
• Deliver calibrations to the appropriate repository according to program milestones.
• Identify software or controls deficiencies and submit issues through PRTS (Problem Tracking Resolution System) as appropriate.
• Validate diagnostic performance and robustness across SIL, HIL/ChIL, battery lab, and physical hardware environments to minimize false alarms while protecting safety and hardware.
• Manage calibration content through GM’s calibration tools and workflows (change management, reviews, and release processes) to ensure traceable, high‑quality software deliveries.
• Generate requests for software and/or controls changes.
• Create scripts as needed to verify calibration quality and accuracy.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in automotive controls, diagnostics, or calibration; EV / high‑voltage battery experience strongly preferred.
• Proven expertise with embedded controls and diagnostics for powertrain or EV systems (battery, inverter, charging, or related safety‑critical domains).
• Hands‑on experience with calibration and data tools (e.g., ETAS INCA, MDA, Vehicle Spy, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar) and calibration change‑management workflows/tools.
• Experience reading and debugging source code in C/C++/Python languages.
• Familiarity with automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Flex Ray, Ethernet, SPI).
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex data, define calibration strategies, and deliver robust solutions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science
