Vehicle Propulsion System Calibration Engineer

Responsibilities

• Vehicle calibration development & validation:
  Lead calibration development activities across chassis/powertrain/hub dynamo meters, and on-road vehicle development. Synchronize the calibration of various sub-systems—including the engine, electric generator/motors, HV battery and thermal systems to ensure seamless integration and achievement of attribute targets.
• Virtual calibration development and optimization:
  Utilize virtual vehicle analytical platform to perform upfront calibration development and demonstrate system capability under various use cases. Utilize Design of Experiments (DOE) methods to efficiently map complex multi-variable calibration spaces and define robust operating strategies.
• Design validation and robustness testing:
  Leverage virtual simulations and physical prototype platforms to perform DV testing against critical noise factors, ensuring system performance remains robust under diverse operating conditions.
• Attribute trade-off management:
  Conduct sensitivity studies to optimize the balance between fuel economy, performance, drivability and emissions. Establish preferred values for control strategy variables using data-driven approach.
• Prototype Commissioning:
  Perform system-level debugging and troubleshooting complex mechanical, electrical, and software issues to commission prototype vehicles.
• Technical Reporting:
  Document and present calibration progress, trade-off results, and regulatory compliance status to program leadership and cross-functional teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in powertrain calibration, with a specific focus on electrified propulsion systems (HEV/PHEV/EREV/BEV).
• 2+ years industry-standard calibration tools e.g., ATI Vision, ETAS INCA, Vector tools and CAN communication protocols.
• 2+ years experience working with prototype vehicles/test bench and troubleshooting.
• 2+ years working with data acquisition (DAQ) systems and various testing environments, including engine/chassis dynamo meters.
• 1+ year of experience in data engineering and statistical validation, with a proven track record of analyzing large-scale datasets to identify statistically significant trends.
