What You’ll Do:
The Electrified Powertrain Power Split Hybrid Calibration Engineer is responsible for leading calibration development of an assigned function items in the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) from first dyno, into early mule vehicle to production on the next generation of FCA’s Power Split Electrified Powertrain. The scope of responsibility spans the application and optimization of control systems into production for hybrid and electric vehicle powertrains. The calibrator will document and justify all HCP calibration changes through rigorous development and test plans. The calibrator will present and justify changes to lead calibrator and Sr. management as appropriate.
The calibrator will participate or lead the Center of Excellence team for their functional areas. They will review any new calibrations in their area, work with other calibrators and controls engineers to ensure initial values for new calibrations are correct by reviewing software change requests in the new release (performed at each new SW release). They will coordinate calibration merges with other functional leads. They have production release responsibility for the HCP SW and Cals. They will support dyno commissioning and first-run activities. They will work closely with HCP controls team to ensure features are working sufficiently and efficiently. They will provide training to all new calibration engineers and/or anyone else needing training on the operation of hybrid vehicles and controls. They will support trips and report activities for Sr. Management. They will work with the CoE teams to ensure best practices are followed. They will be the lead contact point for system issues in their functional area.
This individual will have also demonstrated the ability to work will with others. They must be a team player, supporting and promoting team accomplishments versus personal achievement.
Basic Qualifications:
•Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related degree
•Minimum of five (5) years calibration experience
•Minimum of three (3) years calibration experience on Power Split Hybrid Application
•Good oral and written communication skills with the ability to work independently and with others
•High level of analytic ability and creativity
•Ability to balance work effectively on multiple issues
•Action a disciplined test plan and verification process to ensure quality calibrations are released.
•Must have strong knowledge of the Powertrain system
Preferred Qualifications:
•Master’s Degree in Engineering
•10 years Powertrain Calibration experience
•Knowledge of control system development tools such as Matlab Simulink and GT Power
•Experience in Powertrain Control solutions development (powertrain control algorithms, On-board Diagnostics/OBD, embedded software)
•Knowledge of fundamentals of internal combustion engines
•Experience in engine/transmission design and development and/or Powertrain Systems Engineering
