Gasoline Engine Mapping Engineer

In this position

Engine mapping is the foundation of engine calibration and feeds the PT Dyno and Commodity Calibration processes. The role of a mapping engineer is to develop the calibration values required for fundamental engine operation. This includes characterization or modeling of engine attributes and optimization of engine actuator setpoints. A mapping engineer is responsible for collecting and analyzing data run on an engine-only dynamometer under steady state conditions and developing calibrations from this empirical data. This includes:

• Camshaft schedule optimization
• Aircharge/Inferred MAP calibration
• Torque model calibration
  • Torque ratio
  • MBT spark
  • Indicated and friction torque models
• Optimized DI fuel parameter settings
• EGR flow model calibration and EGR schedule optimization
• Aircharge Torque and Spark modifiers
• Flex Fuel calibrations
• DFSO exit MBT offset calibration

What youll do

Facilitation of the mapping kick-off process to ensure OK to MAP
Mapping engine test plan development
Engine test room lineup and interfacing with the test cell technicians and dyno test engineers
Data monitoring and quality assurance
Use of mapping tools to analyze mapping data to develop mapping calibration deliverables
Validation of calibrations on dyno and correlation to vehicle level validation testing
Interfacing with calibration customers and supporting Mapping PAT meeting to ensure mapping deliverables support the calibration team

Other Information: Engine mapping provides valuable experience in base gasoline engine operation and Ford control strategy fundamentals. Minimal travel required.
