• Champion the safety of our employees and customers
• Test and analyze data of each brake diagnostic features
• Calibrate software packages and features to meet vehicle performance and diagnostic regulation requirements
• Take ownership of assigned software features on multiple programs in parallel
• Deliver calibrations according to program milestone timing
• Work collaboratively with algorithm team to identify and solve issues
• Work with performance engineers to seek feedback and ensure vehicle performance meets vehicle and sub-system technical specifications.
• Develop common approaches and institutionalize them in Calibration Standard Work (Calibration Procedures Development Plans Deliverables Master Calibration etc.)
• Improve the efficiency and quality of Standard Work by systematically driving present vehicle-based tasks into virtual simulation methods and sub-system hardware benches
• Lead technical calibration peer reviews and leadership reviews for assigned program
• Lead resolution of vehicle plant service and customer issues
