Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI), is the design, technology and engineering arm for all North American models of the Korea-based Hyundai Motor Group. The Electrified Propulsion Test & Verification (ePTV) team is one of the groups in the Electrified Propulsion Development division of HATCI responsible for delivering propulsion system performance, emissions compliance, onboard diagnostics, quality, validation, and technical support for Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia vehicles.

HATCI is seeking a highly motivated and technically accomplished Emissions and OBD Engine Calibration Quality Manager
to lead a team of 4 to 8 engineers responsible for identifying, investigating, and resolving engine calibration-related vehicle issues discovered in customer vehicles, assembly plant operations, and regulated in-use compliance programs. This position serves as the technical leader for quality investigation and resolution activities associated with gasoline and hybrid propulsion systems, ensuring rapid root-cause identification and implementation of robust corrective actions.

The successful candidate will establish and drive a closed-loop quality process with the objective of reducing field, plant, and in-use issues to zero while proactively improving engine calibration development and verification methodologies. The team will leverage data and insights from engineering development programs, durability testing, warranty trends, assembly plant investigations, connected vehicle data, and off-nominal vehicle evaluations conducted during summer, winter, altitude, and other environmental test programs.

This role requires a strong technical foundation in powertrain controls, emissions, OBD, and vehicle calibration, combined with demonstrated leadership capability and a passion for data-driven engineering. The ideal candidate will also champion advanced analytics techniques to identify emerging risks, improve detection methods, and drive continuous improvement within calibration development and validation processes. This position reports to the Senior Manager of ePTV.

• Lead and develop a team of 4 to 8 engineers responsible for field quality investigations, assembly plant support activities, and regulated in-use emissions and OBD issue resolution.
• Drive rapid investigation and closure of engine calibration, emissions, OBD, drivability, catalyst performance, and propulsion system quality concerns identified in customer vehicles, production environments, and regulatory compliance programs.
• Establish and maintain a closed-loop issue management process focused on achieving zero recurring customer, plant, and in-use quality issues.
• Lead cross-functional root-cause investigations utilizing calibration data, warranty information, vehicle logs, service reports, plant quality data, and engineering test results.
• Identify systemic weaknesses in calibration development, controls strategies, verification plans, and validation processes, and drive implementation of preventive countermeasures.
• Leverage development, durability, and environmental test data, including summer, winter, altitude, and other off-nominal operation testing, to improve issue detection, calibration robustness, and verification effectiveness.
• Collaborate with calibration development, controls, certification, durability, software, and validation teams to ensure lessons learned from field and plant investigations are incorporated into future vehicle programs.
• Develop quantitative performance metrics and leading indicators to monitor vehicle…
