Job Title:  Vehicle Controls Calibration Engineer, Drivability

Job Description:

We are currently seeking an Engineer for drivability and powertrain calibration. This position requires a passionate engineer with expertise in subjective assessment, electric powertrains, and control theory to calibrate accelerator pedal response, hold functions, and other related systems. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with vigor and determination. Candidates will be expected to follow a first-principles approach to solving problems, make data-driven decisions, communicate well, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Role/Responsibilities:

Calibrate industry-leading torque control systems on high performance vehicles to achieve performance, drivability, and efficiency goals. Define attribute goals for drivability and work with powertrain, chassis, and other controls engineers to tune hardware and software simultaneously to achieve them. Work closely with controls engineers to develop a strong understanding of the system and improve algorithms to meet attribute goals. Travel to test facilities near-by and around the world to calibrate systems in all relevant situations. Develop and execute test plans to validate calibrations against subjective, objective, regulatory, and functional safety requirements.

Qualifications:

Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics, electric powertrains, and control theory fundamentals. First-principles approach to understanding new systems and solving problems. Extensive experience in powertrain or drivability calibration, particularly for electric or high-performance applications. Work effectively with others: receive and provide feedback clearly, kindly, and constructively. Data-driven: translate subjective feedback into effective calibration changes through data analysis and sound reasoning. Superb written communication skills. Document progress and findings consistently and deliberately. Experience with relevant engineering tools, including a calibration interface like Vector CANape, (add others), ECU diagnostic tools, Matlab/Simulink, Git, etc. Driving experience recommended. Bachelor's degree in electrical, computer, mechanical or other appropriate engineering or technical discipline is required. 4+ years of relevant professional experience.
