10-30% Position Overview The Hybrid Emissions Calibration Engineer will support the integration, commissioning, testing, and validation of propulsion system calibration resources across hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, dynamometers, and full vehicles. This position will focus on hybrid and electrification applications, emissions testing, powertrain calibration, and system-level validation. The engineer will work closely with powertrain controls teams to validate system performance, identify hardware and software deficiencies, and support engineering development milestones. Responsibilities will also include coordinating vehicle and dynamometer testing, analyzing calibration data, resolving system issues, and training team members on propulsion vehicle operation and controls. This opportunity is open to experienced calibration engineers as well as recent engineering graduates with relevant automotive experience, including university programs such as Formula SAE, Baja SAE, or SAE EcoCAR. Key Responsibilities Lead system-level calibration, integration, and validation across HIL systems, dynamometers, and full vehicle platforms. Support commissioning, setup, and first-run activities for propulsion system testing resources. Perform system and cross-feature calibration and validation, including drive modes, state-of-charge (SOC) management, range estimation, end-of-line (EOL) processes, and human-machine interface (HMI) features. Lead validation of Powertrain Control Release (PCR) packages to identify hardware, software, and calibration deficiencies before final release. Support fuel economy and emissions testing, including dynamometer testing, data reviews, and vehicle issue resolution. Lead engineering development trips to support vehicle development activities and program milestones. Analyze and summarize data from development trips, daily drives, and fleet testing to evaluate calibration maturity for quality gates. Coordinate AVL drive testing, including scheduling, issue triage, and implementation of improvements. Support system-level issue resolution using engineering tracking systems such as GIMs and IMS. Collaborate with powertrain controls teams to ensure propulsion features operate efficiently and meet performance requirements. Train new calibration engineers and other personnel on propulsion vehicle operation and controls. Support environmental testing activities and prepare reports for senior management. Collaborate with Centers of Excellence (CoE) teams to ensure engineering best practices are followed. Serve as the primary contact for system-level issues within the assigned functional area. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering field. Strong knowledge of powertrain systems and internal combustion engines. Minimum of 2 years of calibration experience in an electrification application preferred/required per updated hiring manager direction. Automotive experience through professional employment, internships, or university programs such as Formula SAE, Baja SAE, or SAE EcoCAR. Understanding of engineering testing, calibration, and verification processes. Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently or collaboratively within a team. Ability to execute structured test plans and verification procedures to ensure calibration quality. Willingness to travel approximately 10-30%. Preferred Qualifications Experience with control system development tools such as MATLAB and Simulink. Familiarity with calibration and diagnostic tools, including INCA, MDA, PowerCal, CRETA, CANalyzer, and CANoe. Experience developing powertrain control solutions, including control algorithms, onboard diagnostics (OBD), and embedded software. Knowledge of electric machines, power electronics, and electrification power flow fundamentals. Experience with engine or transmission design and development and/or powertrain systems engineering. Master's degree in Engineering. If you are interested, please send an up-to-date resume to jschafer@alinestaffing.com ESJJP1
