Electrified Powertrain Calibration Engineer

Core Responsibilities

• Calibrate powertrain to maximize AER, MPGe and MPG.
• Perform testing for fuel economy and coastdown according to EPA test procedures.
• Establish and support targets for EV energy efficiency (All-electric range, CO2, MPGe & MPG) through testing and analysis of current and future vehicles.
• Benchmark key competitive vehicles and related propulsion system technologies.
• Analyze competitive data sets and assess future trends in passenger vehicle AER, fuel economy and energy efficiency-related technologies.
• Collaborate with lab personnel, calibrators, and automation engineers to ensure test readiness, resolve issues, and maintain testing continuity.
• Design, execute, and improve vehicle test plans and procedures for AER and fuel economy development.
• Simulate vehicle energy flows, losses, and road loads for detailed presentations.
• Collaborate with and support the global R&D headquarters team in South Korea.
• Support extended/weekend testing and travel up to 25% domestically and internationally.

Core Capabilities

• Calibration experience and detailed understanding of vehicle propulsion systems, including electric, hybrid, and/or plug-in hybrid vehicles.
• Familiarity with EPA corporate average fuel economy, greenhouse gas emissions standards, and Monroney label calculations for passenger cars and light trucks.
• Proven understanding of conventional and hybrid energy flows, such as drive energy, energy losses (i.e., friction, aerodynamics, etc.), thermal loads, and energy conversion efficiency.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or related engineering field from an accredited university.
• 5+ years of experience with these responsibilities and capabilities.
