Our expertise spans design, development, testing, manufacturing, and performance optimization, driven by a relentless commitment to innovation and excellence.

Job Summary

We are seeking an accomplished Powertrain Calibration Engineer with 7 years of experience in engine and hybrid-system calibration, emissions compliance, and On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). You will collaborate directly with OEM customers to optimize propulsion systems, achieve regulatory certification, and deliver production-ready software. A deep background in dynamometer/vehicle testing, OBD strategy development, and translating OEM requirements into robust control logic is essential for success in this role.

Key Responsibilities

Powertrain Calibration

• Develop and refine calibration strategies for internal-combustion and hybrid powertrains to hit OEM performance, drivability, startability, and durability targets
• Execute dynamometer and on-road calibration for emissions, fuel economy, cold-start, and drive-cycle compliance
  
  

Emissions & OBD Compliance

• Design, implement, and validate OBD strategies that meet or exceed EPA, CARB, Euro 6/7, China 6, and other global regulations
• Diagnose and resolve emissions-related issues alongside OEM engineering, delivering fully certified solutions
  
  

Testing & Validation

• Plan and conduct engine, powertrain, and full-vehicle tests (dyno, environmental chamber, altitude, on-road) to verify calibration robustness across operating extremes
• Analyze large data sets, identify trends, and iterate control logic to ensure consistent performance for multiple vehicle lines
  
  

OEM Collaboration & System Integration

• Serve as the primary technical interface to OEM powertrain teams, translating their targets into actionable calibration and validation plans
• Integrate calibrations with engine controllers, hybrid supervisory controls, and aftertreatment hardware (SCR, DPF, TWC)
  
  

Regulatory & Industry Leadership

• Stay current on global emissions / OBD legislation (LEV III, WLTP, RDE, etc.) and upcoming OEM implementation standards, advising internal and customer teams proactively
  
  

Qualifications & Skills

• Education – B.S. / M.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive Engineering, or related discipline
• Experience – 7 years in calibration / controls engineering for ICE or hybrid powertrains, including direct OEM program execution and certification support
• Technical Proficiency –
• ETAS INCA, Vector CANape, ATI Vision, or comparable calibration toolchains
• CAN/LIN, UDS, and other in-vehicle communication protocols
• MATLAB/Simulink for model-based development and rapid prototyping
• Strong grasp of combustion fundamentals, emissions aftertreatment, and hybrid energy-management strategies
• Soft Skills –
• Proven ability to navigate OEM phase-gate processes and strict timelines
• Clear, concise communicator comfortable presenting complex data to cross-functional and executive audiences
• Collaborative mindset with a bias for action and problem-solving
