Senior Calibration Engineer — Drivability and Performance

We are currently seeking a Senior Calibration Engineer — Drivability and Performance for 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 related technical/engineering discipline is required.

• 5+ years of relevant professional experience.
