Job Description
Gasoline Engine Calibration Engineer
We are seeking an experienced and technically strong Gasoline Engine Calibration Engineer to develop test and validate engine calibration features that deliver best-in-class fuel economy drivability and emissions compliance. The engineer will take ownership of one or more assigned features and lead their development across all environmental conditions and program phases. This position involves collaboration with domestic and international engineering teams integration with cross-functional vehicle programs and direct contribution to technical execution.
We are looking for a self-driven calibration engineer with prior hands-on experience who can take ownership of assigned features with minimal ramp-up. The ideal candidate will be given direction and contacts then take the initiative to connect with stakeholders get into vehicles assess calibration maturity and begin execution independently. This is not a data-in/data-out role - success requires both technical depth and creative problem-solving to deliver high-quality balanced calibrations.
Basic Requirements:
- Bachelors degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or a closely related field).
- Minimum 3 years of experience in gasoline engine calibration with a proven track record of delivering production-ready calibrations.
- Prior experience performing hands-on engine calibration with minimal supervision; ready to contribute without needing foundational training.
- Demonstrated ability to independently execute calibration tasks once direction is given - including setting up meetings assessing vehicle state and resolving open items.
- Strong technical knowledge of internal combustion engines powertrain systems and calibration methodologies.
- Experience with calibration tools (e.g. INCA ATI Vision) and data analysis tools (e.g. MDA).
- Familiarity with emissions regulations (EPA CARB Euro) and OBD requirements.
- Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership; able to operate independently identify information gaps and actively drive tasks to completion with minimal supervision.
- Excellent problem-solving organizational and communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and deliver results under pressure.
Preferred Requirements:
- Masters degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
- 4 years of industry experience in engine calibration or powertrain systems development.
- Experience applying Design of Experiments (DOE) and calibration optimization techniques.
- Proficient in Matlab/Simulink and simulation tools (e.g. GT-Power).
- Familiarity with calibration tools such as PowerCal CRETA CANalyzer or CANoe.
- Experience working with international engineering teams and supporting global vehicle programs.
- Exposure to hybrid or electrified powertrains is a plus.
Additional Must Haves:
- Highly motivated
- Operate with little direction (understands program plans)
- Understands vehicle systems (ICE vs HEV vs BEV - at a high level)
- Experience with Matlab even undergraduate work
- Able to work when things are stressful
- Location:Chelsea Proving Grounds - Onsite nearly 100% of the time. A lot of the work is done in vehicle so its mostly onsite where the vehicles are.When the programs slow down there would be opportunity to work from home.
- Driving:Yes they will be required to drive a Company M plate vehicle provided they pass all the internal requirements (Approvals License etc.)
- Travel: Min 4-6 weeks a year but sometimes more depending on where we are in the program. The most a team has traveled is 8-12 weeks but with those we usually work with people to not send everyone at once. Locations of travel would be mostly in the US (Arizona Denver Nevada). There are international trips but those rarely happen.
