ICE/xEV Powertrain Dyno Engineer

Responsibilities

• Perform engine/powertrain dyno data collection and analysis to generate calibrations for traditional internal combustion and electrified systems.
• Develop dynamometer-based powertrain feature calibrations in support of program releases, including hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV/PHEV) energy management and torque arbitration.
• Perform basic troubleshooting of CAN/CAN FD communication issues and control module interactions between the test cell and the powertrain.
• Debug complex control logic and software integration issues to ensure dyno results accurately reflect real-world vehicle behavior.
• Proactively manage calibration tasks to deliver programs on time with quality.
• Effective communication with program commodity calibration teams regarding calibration maturity and hardware limitations.

Requirements

• Work with dyno test engineers on test cell/PT setup for proper data collection, ensuring high-voltage safety and hybrid system cooling requirements are met.
• Lead daily test cell activities with technicians and test engineers to complete program deliverables.
• Improve test cell operating efficiency using automation and scripted testing procedures.
• Create and develop efficient data and calibration processing tools for OBD, emissions and base engine features.
• Actively engage with subject matter experts and the larger calibration community to stay relevant with new and changing features/regulations.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Engineering (Mechanical or Electrical)
• 3+ years experience in powertrain calibration engineering.
• In-depth background and knowledge of the powertrain calibration development process, dynamometer, controls, and test methods.
• Knowledge of hybrid powertrain architectures, control systems theory, and vehicle networking.
• Experienced with calibration and dyno development tools, i.e., ATI/ETAS, PUMA/CAMEO.
• Familiar with CAN bus analysis tools (e.g., Vector CANalyzer, CANoe, or Intrepid Vehicle Spy).
• Good analytical skills for data reduction and analysis.
• Experience with Excel/Matlab/Python for data analysis and basic programming.
• Must have excellent oral and written communication skills.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage.
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more.
• Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more.
• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases.
• Tuition assistance.
• Established and active employee resource groups.
• Paid time off for individual and team community service.
• A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
