Emissions Calibration Engineer

About the role

The Emissions Calibration Engineer leads the commissioning, integration, and testing of calibration development resources, including virtual/hardware-in-loop test setups, physical system dynamometer resources, and full vehicles. This role spans the commissioning and execution of new system-level propulsion test resources and test/validation support for system-level propulsion strategy. The engineer serves as the primary point of contact for system-level design validation and testing across these resources, supporting HIL/Dyno/Vehicle commissioning, first-run activities, and training for new calibration engineers.

Responsibilities

• System and cross-feature calibration and validation (e.g., drive modes, system SOC management, range estimation, EOL, HMI).
• First-run support for HIL, dyno, and vehicle properties.
• Lead validation of PCR package to identify HW/SW/calibration deficiencies prior to hard release.
• FE/Emissions support, including dyno support, data review, and issue/vehicle triage.
• Lead development trips to support development and meet program milestones.
• Data summary from trips, daily drives, and fleet to support calibration maturity for QG’s.
• AVL Drive Testing – scheduling, triage lead, and implementation of improvements.
• Support all issue resolution (e.g., GIMs, IMS).

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree.
• 2 years of professional calibration experience on an electrification application.
• Automotive experience (professional or academic, such as Formula SAE, Baja, or SAE EcoCar).
• Strong oral and written communication skills with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• High level of analytic ability and creativity.
• Ability to action a disciplined test plan and verification process to ensure quality calibrations.

Skills

• Strong knowledge of powertrain systems.
• Knowledge of control system development tools such as Matlab and Simulink.
• Experience with calibration tools: INCA, MDA, PowerCal, CRETA, CANAlyzer, and CANoe.
• Experience in powertrain control solutions development (e.g., powertrain control algorithms, OBD, embedded software).
• Knowledge of fundamentals of eMachines, power electronics, and electrification power flow.
• Experience in engine/transmission design and development and/or powertrain systems engineering.
