Emissions Calibration Engineer

We made history and now we work to transform the future for our customers our communities and our families. Youll see your work on the road every day helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

In this position...

The Advanced Emissions Calibration Engineer is responsible for developing and demonstrating system-level capabilities to achieve future emissions targets (SULEV20 SULEV15 and SULEV10) for gasoline-powered Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) Hybrid (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) applications. This role bridges the gap between virtual simulation and physical validation leading the development of calibration strategies that balance stringent regulatory compliance with core vehicle attributes like fuel economy and drivability. The ideal candidate combines high-level analytical strategy with a hands-on approach to commissioning and debugging complex prototype propulsion systems.

What youll do...

System Development & Validation: Lead development testing across engine dynamometers powertrain/hub dynamometers and physical vehicles. Utilize virtual vehicle analytical simulations to front-load calibration development and demonstrate system capability.

Attribute Trade-off Management: Conduct sensitivity studies to optimize the balance between emissions compliance fuel economy performance and drivability. Establish preferred values for control variables using a data-driven approach.

Sub-System Coordination: Synchronize the calibration of various sub-systemsincluding the engine aftertreatment (TWC/GPF) transmission and electric generator/motorsto ensure seamless integration and achievement of emissions targets.

Experimental Design: Utilize Design of Experiments (DOE) methods to efficiently map complex multi-variable calibration spaces and define robust operating strategies.

Prototype Commissioning: Lead the setup and commissioning of prototype systems in both dyno and vehicle environments. Perform system-level debugging and troubleshoot complex mechanical electrical and software issues.

Technical Reporting: Document and present calibration progress trade-off results and regulatory compliance status to program leadership and cross-functional teams.

Youll have...

Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Automotive Engineering or a related technical field.

5 years of experience in powertrain calibration with a specific focus on gasoline emissions and/or electrified propulsion systems (HEV/PHEV).

Proficiency with industry-standard calibration tools (e.g. ATI Vision ETAS INCA or Vector CANape) and CAN communication protocols.

Deep understanding of global emissions regulatory requirements and test procedures specifically SULEV20 SULEV15 and SULEV10 standards.

Demonstrated mechanical and electrical (wiring) skills for prototype vehicle/bench setup and hardware-in-the-loop troubleshooting.

Experience with data acquisition (DAQ) systems and various testing environments including engine/chassis dynamometers.

Experience in data engineering and statistical validation with a proven track record of analyzing large-scale datasets to identify statistically significant trends

Even better you may have...

Masters or PhD in Engineering.

Expertise design and validation of exhaust aftertreatment.

In-depth understanding of HEV/PHEV powertrain architectures and their specific impact on emissions (e.g. cold-start management thermal transients).

Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and advanced DOE optimization software (e.g. AVL ASCMO Model-Based Calibration Toolbox).

Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical reviews and mentor junior calibration engineers.
