System Pre-Development and Engine Calibration Engineer

The System Pre-Development & Engine Calibration Engineer is responsible for conducting propulsion systems and engine calibration pre-development. The engineer will plan, coordinate, and analyze data from engine dyno, powertrain dyno, chassis dyno and HIL resources; including interaction with technicians and support engineers. Evaluations will occur with new powertrain technologies that span the hardware, calibration and control domains. The engineer will analyze and solve complex system problems as they relate to engine performance, fuel consumption, emissions, and base engine calibration development. The engineer will manipulate and utilize large and complex sets of engine mapping data to create the base engine calibration which achieve propulsion system functional objectives.
