Product Engineer Calibration

Transforming the Future with Convergence of Simulation and Data Product Engineer Calibration

Job Summary:

Our client in Dearborn, MI is looking for a Product Engineer Calibration. This is a contract position.

Our Client's Motor Company Vehicle Propulsion Systems Engineering (VPSE) Calibration team is seeking experienced calibration engineers with direct, hands‑on backgrounds in developing and delivering drivability, emissions, and OBD calibrations for internal combustion and hybrid powertrains. This is a hands‑on engineering role, not entry‑level, and not supervisory/management focused. Candidates should be able to independently deliver production‑ready calibrations that meet program requirements.

Develop, test, and deliver production‑ready calibrations for drivability, emissions, and OBD attributes on IC and hybrid powertrains. Perform in‑vehicle and lab testing, collect and analyze calibration data, and resolve issues. Support testing at domestic proving grounds (Dearborn, MI, Northern MI, Arizona, Colorado). Document and present calibration results to program stakeholders. Ensure compliance with regulatory, performance, safety, and quality standards.

• Delivered drivability, OBD, or emissions calibration.
• Calibration experience is a MUST.
• Data acquisition and data analysis.
• 2+ years (preferred 5+) direct, hands‑on engine or hybrid calibration experience (drivability, emissions, or OBD).
• Strong proficiency in calibration tools and data analysis (e.g., ETAS INCA, ATI Vision, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Proven experience conducting on‑road and test‑cell calibration work (not only simulation or HIL).
• Onsite position. (Monday to Thursday in the office)

• Envision the Future
• Communicate Honestly and Broadly
• Seek Technology and Business “First”
