Calibration Drivability (Power Train- Gasoline & Diesel)l)

About the Role 

Drivability Calibration Engineer is responsible for developing tuning and validating engine and vehicle control strategies to ensure smooth responsive and comfortable vehicle performance across all operating conditions (start idle transient part-load and full-load). 

Key Responsibilities 

1. Drivability Calibration Development  

Develop and optimize drivability calibration for:         

Gasoline engines (MPFI TGDI) 

Diesel engines (CRDi systems) 

Calibrate: 

Tip-in / Tip-out response 

        Torque structure and request coordination 

       Transient fuel rail pressure and boost control 

        Injection strategies (Diesel: pilot main post injections) 

        Idle control cold start and warm-up behavior 

       Tune pedal maps for different drive modes (Eco/Normal/Sport) 

2. Torque & System Coordination     

Ensure robust torque arbitration between:         

EMS and TCU (MT/AMT/AT/DCT) 

Optimize:         

Shift quality (torque reduction ramp-in/out) 

        Clutch engagement behavior 

Coordinate with:         

Air path (EGR VGT throttle) 

        Aftertreatment systems (DOC DPF SCR impact on drivability) 

3. Validation & Testing     

Perform subjective and objective drivability evaluations 

Define and track KPIs:         

Surge / Bucking index 

        Hesitation / turbo lag 

        Tip-in delay & torque hole 

        Low-speed behavior (creep crawl) 

      Diesel-specific NVH (combustion noise torque oscillations) 

Plan and execute:         

City / highway / hill / hot & cold condition tests 

Use tools:         

ETAS INCA / CANape / AVL Drive 

        Data acquisition systems (V-Box iCDM/vCDM) 

4. Issue Analysis & Debugging     

Identify and resolve P0/P1 drivability issues 

   Perform root cause analysis using: 

        Measurement data 

        System interaction understanding 

Conduct:         

On-road calibration refinement 

•  Rapid issue resolution during test trips 

5. Integration & Cross-functional Coordination    

  Work with:         

Combustion & Base Calibration Teams 

      Transmission & Hybrid Control Teams 

       OBD and Emissions Teams 

Ensure drivability trade-off alignment with:         

Emissions (BS6/Euro norms) 

       Fuel efficiency targets 

        NVH requirements
