We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Electrified Powertrain Calibration Calibrator to join our dynamic team. This critical role will be responsible for coordinating the development and verification of powercube calibration releases across various functional areas within electrified powertrains. The successful candidate will drive calibration maturity, arbitrate technical tradeoffs, and work cross-functionally to achieve program objectives, ensuring the highest standards of safety, regulatory compliance, and performance. This position requires strong technical expertise in calibration methodologies, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to lead and track complex and dynamic development cycles.
As an Electrified Powertrain Calibration Calibrator, your key responsibilities will include:
- Coordinate the development and verification of powercube (PCAL) calibration releases within the following functional areas: Powermoding, Thermal Management, LV/HV Charging Calibration, Battery Management, Motor Control, and other calibration features that fall within the PCAL perimeter of responsibility.
- Track and present calibration maturity status for all PCAL quality gate reviews, providing essential support to management for senior leadership status reviews and escalation forums.
- Skillfully arbitrate calibration tradeoffs between subsystems to meet program objectives, including safety, regulatory compliance, vehicle range, emissions, drivability, and propulsion system stability.
- Take a hands-on approach to finding and fixing issues, setting the example for the team through your direct and hands-on involvement.
- Work cross-functionally with other calibration subsystems and vehicle integration/validation teams to review issues and implement robust solutions, adhering to best practices and established calibration methodologies
- Demonstrate proficiency in data collection, post-processing, and analysis during calibration release DVP (Design Verification Plan) activities. This includes the analysis of functional models to root cause and document controls and software issues blocking calibration progress.
- Perform virtual and in-vehicle testing to achieve calibration maturity at each of the vehicle milestones throughout the program lifecycle.
- Plan and execute cross-functional test trips when required, ensuring efficient use of resources, timely completion of objectives.
- Coordinate and document the allocation of PCAL test resources (both virtual and physical) for all subsystems, based on the prioritization of calibration team activities.
- Represent the application at management ride and drives, providing expert insights and technical explanations.
- Maintain proficiency in basic computer skills (MS Office Suite, SharePoint, Kanban) and demonstrate expertise in calibration tool suites (ETAS/INCA, MATLAB, Simulink, Vector). Familiarity with various platforms that interface with dyno and virtual testing (HIL) is also required.
- Demonstrate careful attention to detail and excellent organizational skills in all aspects of work.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Mathematics or Statistics
- Excellent English communication skills
- 5 years minimum of proven experience in powertrain calibration, particularly with electrified vehicle systems, including a minimum of one complete program development/launch cycle
- Strong understanding of vehicle systems, controls, and software development processes
- Expertise in calibration tool suites (ETAS/INCA, MATLAB, Simulink, Canalyzer)
- Experience with HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and dyno testing platforms
- Proficiency in data analysis and root cause identification using functional models
- Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to lead a team of peers
- Conflict and crisis management skills
Preferred Qualifications:
- 7+ years of calibration experience including multiple program development/launch cycles
- Familiarity with Stellantis internal processes & standards
- Knowledge of statistics and statistical methods
- Knowledge of the dyno environment and tools related to it, such as: Puma, Cameo, Indicom, Concerto
- Experience with Matlab scripting and other useful data processing languages/tool sets (e.g., Python, JavaScript/NodeJS, PowerApps, PowerBI)
- "AI Native" approach to work-stream efficiency
Work Location:
This position can be based out of Auburn Hills or Chelsea, Michigan, depending on the candidate's preference.
