We are seeking a Calibration Engineer to support engine performance development and optimization. This individual will be responsible for developing and refining engine calibration strategies to meet performance, fuel economy, durability, and emissions requirements.
The role involves working with engine control units (ECUs), developing calibration maps, conducting engine testing, and analyzing performance data to ensure optimal engine operation under various conditions.
Develop and optimize engine performance calibration maps.
Perform calibration activities related to air handling, fuel delivery, physical sensors, and virtual sensors.
Optimize engine control parameters to meet emissions, power, and mechanical performance targets.
Develop calibration maps and lookup tables for fuel control, throttle response, and emissions systems.
Adjust calibrations for varying operating conditions, including cold starts, altitude, and engine load.
Develop and execute test programs to evaluate engine management systems.
Perform ECU calibration using structured testing methods, including Design of Experiments (DOE).
Test and validate calibration strategies against performance and regulatory requirements.
Analyze test data using MATLAB, ETAS INCA, or similar tools.
Troubleshoot engine performance issues using diagnostic tools and data logs.
Support emissions certification testing and documentation.
Collaborate with hardware engineers, software developers, and emissions specialists.
Maintain calibration records, procedures, guides, and validation documentation.
Manage the delivery of calibration sets to customers.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent technical experience.
Ability to independently lead projects with minimal supervision.
Knowledge of motors, drives, control systems, and electrical wiring.
Understanding of instrumentation used to measure flow, pressure, temperature, and vibration.
